“She is Called: Junia”

 

 

“She is Called: Junia”

1 Corinthians 12:4-13 & Romans 16:1-7

This Sunday we’ll conclude our “She is Called” series with the fascinating story of Junia–a prominent apostle in the early church who was nearly erased from church history. Together we’ll lament the ways the church has silenced women’s voices and celebrate the ways God has worked through women over the generations.

Kick Off Sunday 
On September 11, we will kick off our new year of programming here at Trinity. This year, we will have monthly potluck meals together. Our first potluck is September 11 after worship. We will gather at church, indoors, in the fellowship hall for a meal together. Please bring your own place settings, and a dish to pass. Though we will be indoors, the theme of this month’s potluck is “Picnic” ! Have fun with it.  
New ESL Classes at Trinity!

This fall, Trinity Reformed Church is starting a free English as a Second Language program for adults in our community. Interested in volunteering? Sign up here or with this QR code! If you have any questions, please talk to Claire Molling (claireefields@gmail.com).

Together West Michigan Training Opportunity

On Friday, September 9th, 6p-8:30p and Saturday, September 10th, 9a-4:00p (lunch included) there will be a Together West Michigan Broad Based Community Organizing Training. Many of us at Trinity are still wondering:

1) What exactly is Together West Michigan and how does broad-based organizing work?

OR

2) How do I learn to be an even more effective leader in broad-based organizing on these issue areas?

If that’s you, join us on September 9th-10th  at Park Congregational Church to build your skills and connect with other broad-based organizing leaders. See here for more information and registration.
