Jubilee Class – May 2024

May '24
by Gene Ayers, Doug Lusk, and Eva Euler
“As new members, we were immediately surrounded by the warmest, most loving and genuinely caring new friends, folks who were passionate about their faith and were spiritually mature.” Most of these earlier members are now with our Lord, but others have joined our fellowship, continuing to serve the Lord in like manner, and support the ministry of the church. As a class, we have always been there for one another through illnesses, accidents, family problems and too many tragedies to count!”
Caring, sharing, and praying — hallmarks of this class of couples and individuals who are bound together by their love for the Lord and for families, friends, and neighbors. One of our notable missions is to care for one another, for their families, and for others that they know and love. We have cried together.
We spend time sharing prayer requests for loved ones, friends or perhaps an acquaintance who is in need. Prayer requests are sent out to the membership during the week, as well to our network of emails and postage mail. All done in the name of the Lord.
Each Sunday the class joins together in the singing of a popular hymn, the celebration of birthdays and anniversaries, and the sharing of other activities that are scheduled for the church family.
We have had wonderful teachers over the years, including Kay Miller, Gene Ayers, Chris Christopherson, and Bill Parr. Currently the centerpiece of the class is Mr. Parr’s lessons, taken directly from the scriptures, book by book and verse by verse. We just finished the book of Daniel and will study Ephesians next.
Throughout all these activities runs a deep current of fellowship that is both comforting and encouraging. What a privilege it is to have this place where we can sing together, pray together, worship together and know that our Savior Jesus is there with us, guiding and directing us in all we do. It is a warm inviting place that welcomes anyone in need of a church family. Oh, and we laugh a lot, with JOY!

Women’s Bible Study – May 2024
01
May '24
by Shelby Peschel
What is your favorite Bible study? Recently, during a leadership training meeting, several ladies answered this question. With so many wonderful authors, speakers, books and topics, it was difficult to narrow it down to just one. So many studies have been richly meaningful in different ways to different ladies. After giving it some thought since that meeting, I would like to change my answer. My favorite Bible study is “the next one.”
Women’s Bible Study (WBS) at Trinity has a rich history of reaching women in our community. Studies have varied through the years, but the focus on learning and growing together has not. With much prayer and planning, a core team of ladies selects which study we will do together, typically a year in advance. Laying personal preferences aside, they truly seek the Lord for what He would have us study together. As long as the Word of God and hearts are open, each “next” study provides the opportunity to learn and understand more. And, in knowing more, taking next steps to apply God’s truth to our daily actions.
So what is the next one for WBS? We just wrapped up studying the Book of John as well as The End Times. Coming up next is our summer series on Jude: Contend Earnestly for the Faith by Debbie Taylor Williams. This 3-week study meets on Wednesday mornings and Thursday evenings, beginning July 10th. Registration and details are available on the church website. Next, will be our fall study on Elijah: Faith & Fire by Priscilla Shirer, followed by a focus on Gratitude: Giving Thanks to God in All Things leading up to the holiday season. There is a place for you, and you are invited. We’d love to have you join us for the next one!
“Lord, Your word is forever; Your faithfulness is for all generations; I will never forget Your precepts, for You have given me life through them.”
Psalms 119: 89-93

Grief Share – March 2024
01
Mar '24
by Doug Lusk
A new cycle of GriefShare, so ably facilitated by Pattie Davis and a number of co-facilitators, began in January after being delayed by severe weather and will consist of 13 weekly sessions. This program is a support group to help and encourage persons after the death of a spouse, child, family member or friend.
These sessions aim to help each participant, collectively and individually, learn to deal with their grief and loss; a place where they may move forward in their journey from mourning to joy. Guided by the facilitators, each meeting features a video, group discussion, and the use of a personal workbook. The videos, approximately 35 minutes in length, feature comments and suggestions by experts who help deal with loss, personal stories of people who are grieving, and enactments by some about how they have confronted their own situation.
The group discussions, which are completely confidential, offer participants the opportunity to share something they noted, to ask questions they may have, or to learn how something shown in the video or expressed by others might apply to one’s own life. It can prove to be a vital source in finding the help and comfort they seek.
The workbook has questions, suggestions, and Bible verses which can help an individual in learning how to cope with their loss. For instance, an item from the workbook might cause them to approach their loss more directly.
We are in the third session of our new cycle and gather each Monday morning at 10 AM for the next 10 weeks to complete the 13-week schedule. The GriefShare program has become a regular feature of the ministries supported by Trinity Baptist Church. Class participants consist of members and non-members of Trinity and class size naturally varies from cycle to cycle depending on circumstances. Some members are so appreciative of their progress that they join in a second cycle. Two cycles per year are available at Trinity Baptist Church.
Many people find that grief is a surprisingly complex subject and that their needs and solutions may be quite different from those of fellow participants. But somewhere in the 13 sessions, it seems often to happen that by hearing what others share about their stories, a listener might find an approach that they can use. A group of folks on a similar journey, giving and receiving ideas and support…that’s what GriefShare is.

Pilgrims of Faith – March 2024
01
Mar '24
by Marti Jones
The Pilgrims of Faith Class is a group of men and women who, as the name implies, are journeying through life relying on their faith. We are a group who cares about the needs of others and pray for one another.
Our teacher, Truman Martin, diligently studies the lesson each week to lead us in meaningful discussion of our weekly lessons. Bitsy Martin, his right hand, begins our class by ringing her little bell for our class to come to order. You see, we thoroughly enjoy visiting with each other before class and we have a tendency of being a little noisy. She is responsible for announcements, updating us on those we have been praying for, additional prayer requests and leading us in prayer.
We also offer a class via Zoom for those who can’t attend in person.
Our Spring lesson book is entitled “Servants for His Glory”, described as “Cultivating Christlikeness in a World of Performance.”
We have numerous meaningful activities. The women visit the residents of River Point once a month for a sing along and devotional time. After our visit with our sweet friends, our ladies enjoy lunch together at a local restaurant.
The men meet once a month for breakfast at their favorite spot, “Cracker Barrel” where they enjoy visiting together.
Collectively, we enjoy get-together parties from time to time. Our next party will be April 15th.
Although we have a great comradery, our main concern is to grow spiritually and to look for ways we can share the love of Jesus.
Our most recent outreach project was helping a couple in Mexico (Victor and Carla Avila). These seminary graduates have taken on the responsibility of ministering to the children at the Navolato Baptist Church. We took up a collection to help with transportation, Christmas dinner and Christmas parties for the children. What a blessing to see pictures of the children at church celebrating the birth of Jesus.
I could go on and on about our wonderful Bible study class, but the best would be for you to just come check us out.
