EASTER SUNDAY DECORATING


Help Us Bloom! Join us Saturday, April 4 at 10am as we transform the sanctuary into a beautiful celebration of Easter! We'll be arranging potted flowers, raising banners, moving chairs and bringing the joy of Easter to life. No experience needed - just your helping hands and beautiful spirit. Any questions, reach out to Heather Meyer at heather@trinitytoledo.org 


CALLING ALL KIDDOS!


Do you love to sing? Perform? Stand there looking adorable while action happens around you? Join us on Easter Sunday for a super fun kids' choir moment during the service at Trinity.  Think traditional Vacation Bible School musical whimsy and Easter children's charm.  The song is short, sweet, and VERY EASY to learn.  We will gather at 9:30 AM on Easter Sunday to confirm our cues for where to be and when during church service.


All are welcome. No talent required. The louder the better, but honestly the quieter the kids, the cuter the performance.  Reach out to Rebecca Facey if you have any questions - Rebecca.Facey19@gmail.com and check out the link to preview the song. See you Sunday!

TRINITY TOURS


Sun. April 26 after worship - Following worship on April 26, you are invited to a special tour (the piece de resistance!) of our historic nave. Our sacred space has been a beacon of faith and beauty since its dedication in 1863. We will explore the artistry, symbolism, multiple renovations, stained glass windows and stories. If any of our parishioners have stories or experience around the most recent renovation 25 years ago, Heather would love to hear from you as she prepares! heather@trinitytoledo.org 


WHAT'S HAPPENING?

TRINITY'S PRAYER LIST


Trinity continues to have an active prayer list. If you’d like prayers for yourself or for someone you know, you can request them by contacting the Trinity office (trinity@trinitytoledo.org or 419-243-1231). All prayer requests are shared only with a small intercessory prayer group who, along with parish clergy, offer recurring prayers for each request. When a request is received, it remains on the prayer list for four weeks before it’s taken off. Requests can always be renewed or submitted again; having an “expiration date” simply prevents the list from overflowing with prayer requests that are out of date.

TRINITY@HOME LIVE-STREAM


Trinity@Home is now a live-stream of Trinity’s 10:00 am in-person service with an interactive chat.
