Is everything meaningless?
The Teacher famously says, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” In our current sermon series, Finding Meaning in a Fleeting World, we’ll explore the nihilism and despair of this life, portrayed so powerfully in the book of Ecclesiastes, and see how the gospel of Jesus opens the way to something better.

Adult Education: The Doctrines of Grace
Sundays, Nov 2 - Dec 14 | 9AM | lower level meeting room
Starting November 2 we will be kicking off a Adult Ed series on 'The Doctrines of Grace'– that is how God saves sinners. Over seven weeks we will expound and extol how this great, gracious and glorious salvation unfolds from eternity past into an everlasting future. These doctrines have always been the cherished treasure for saints across history for they furnish a display of the glory of God in its most ravishing vesture. Team taught by elders Jon Hinkson and Tyler Dueno.

Selah Session: “Faith”
Saturday, nov 1 | 6pm – 8pm | lower level meeting room
Creatives are invited to submit their original works to be presented at this curated open mic night. All mediums are welcome -- song, poetry, skit, short film, 3D art, dance, you name it! All pieces should be related to the theme, Faith. Like shifting angles of a diamond, our prayer is for God to unfold this theme through various creative expressions. All are invited to come and enjoy, and this is a great invite to invite friends who do not yet know the Lord! For more information contact Fisayo
Men’s Breakfast
Saturday, nov 8 | 9-11AM | fellowship hall
At Trinity, we are blessed with a great number of Godly men, young and old. One of the joys and privileges we have in God's kingdom is the opportunity to walk alongside believers from different stages and walks of life. To that end, join us on the next in our series of men's breakfasts, where we can come together and share, teach, admonish, and pray with one another. We hope you'll join us! Childcare will be available. If you're planning on joining, please let Ralph Hansen or David Daniel know (especially if childcare is needed).
Thanksgiving All-Church Potluck Lunch
Sunday, Nov 16 | After Morning Worship | Fellowship Hall
Join us in the fellowship hall following our Thanksgiving Testimony Service for this special time we look forward to each year. Please bring an entrée or side dish to share with others. As oven space is limited to keeping a few things warm, please bring your food cooked, plated and ready to serve. Crockpots are great for this event! We have a couple that can be borrowed so just ask if you need one. If you can also bring a pie for our popular pie table, let us know. Whipped cream and hot & cold beverages will be provided by the church. Help is needed for setup, during lunch and for cleanup. Contact Kirsten or Amanda in person or email us at fellowship@trinity-baptist.org
