We are so excited to have had our Kids Camp – July 25-29, 2022!! We had some fun exploring the Jerusalem Marketplace, seeing what it might have been like in the time of Jesus! We had 75 children and over 50 adult and youth volunteers to make it all happen. Thank you to all who helped.
Stay tuned for next year’s theme and dates!
On Sunday, June 12, we will honor, thank, and say goodbye to Amy and Larry Lenow for their nine years of service at Trinity. That morning, we will hold one worship service starting at 10:00 AM in the Sanctuary. Following this service, a catered lunch will be held on the grounds of the church. We ask that families bring their signature dessert to share. To assist with the lunch plans, we request that you make a reservation for yourself and your family.
Creating Moments of JOY
by Jolene Brackey
Jolene Brackey has a vision: that we will soon look beyond the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease to focus more of our energies on creating moments of joy.
When people have short-term memory loss, their lives are made up of moments.
We are not able to create perfectly wonderful days for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s, but we can create perfectly wonderful moments, moments that put a smile on their faces and a twinkle in their eyes. Five minutes later, they will not remember what we did or said, but the feeling that we left them with will linger.
The new edition of Creating Moments of Joy is filled with more practical advice sprinkled with hope, encouragement, new stories, and generous helpings of humor.
In this volume, Brackey reveals that our greatest teacher is having cared for and loved someone with Alzheimer’s and that often what we have most to learn about is ourselves.
This is a wonderful resource for anyone caring for someone with Alzheimer’s. We have been gifted several copies for use by our members. Please see Judy Oguich if you would like a copy.

We had a blast at Spring Fest! Church families, preschool families, and neighborhood families ushered in spring (despite the cold temperatures) with inflatables, the petting zoo, gaga ball, great music, and delicious food!
A special thank you to all who volunteered at this event!
