"Growing in Love and Service" by Susie Riley

Growing in love and service through relationships with God and community. This is more than a statement. It is a vision that plays out daily at Trinity. Through our outreach, we have demonstrated God’s Grace and love to people who don’t often feel welcomed or included in other faith communities.

I feel blessed to be a part of the transportation ministry. I don’t ever want to take for granted that I am able to get to church and enjoy the many aspects of fellowship and worship. The transportation ministry is more than picking people up for church. It involves caring and sharing with each other and that gives us all a relationship that extends beyond the church walls. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing on Sunday morning than enjoying the fellowship we all have!
​
Jubilee Christmas is also one of my favorites! It is such an honor to organize Trinity’s Jubilee Christmas! Every year we receive families through Lafayette Urban Ministries who have struggled and need assistance. Trinity opens its doors to receive these parents with open arms. It is one of our bigger events and it is such a blessing to see all of you come together to give and serve. I am awed and humbled every year at the generosity, graciousness, and Christian hospitality shown to our guests. It truly shows our commitment to "Growing in love and service through relationships with God and community."

We are all blessed by the staff and lay members, led by Pastor Tracey, who continue to adapt to our community needs. These individuals work hard to ensure that "Growing in love and service through relationships with God and community" is not just a statement, but a living commitment.
