Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven
is like treasure hidden in a
field, which someone
found and hid; then in his
joy he goes and sells all
that he has and buys that
field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of
heaven is like a merchant
in search of fine pearls; 46
on finding one pearl of
great value, he went and
sold all that he had and
bought it.
Matthew 2:1-2 1In the time of King Herod,
after Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea, wise
men from the East came to
Jerusalem, 2 asking,
“Where is the child who
has been born king of the
Jews? For we observed his
star at its rising, and have
come to pay him homage.”

PER CAPITA, or apportionment, is paid annually by local congregations to help fund our Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. For the coming year, Trinity will be assessed $29.00 for every member, active or not, on our roles at the close of 2015. If your budget allows, a donation (above and beyond your regular giving) for every “member” of the church in your household would be greatly appreciated. Non-member children are NOT included. Please make checks payable to Trinity with “Per Capita” noted in the memo field. Thank you so much!
There are still several boxes of 2016 STEWARDSHIP ENVELOPES in the Lobby. If you have contact with those who have not yet picked up their box, please feel free to hand deliver; that will help us save on postage.
Don’t see a box with your name on it? Contact Barbara Hooks (303-422-3656 or [email protected]) and she will arrange to get some for you. It helps so much with posting when people use assigned envelopes for their regular giving.

New to Trinity Presbyterian Church? As you worship with us, we hope that you will meet God, feel welcomed, and sense the grace of Jesus Christ surrounding you. Our goal is to help each other to Live With God at the Center of our lives.
We place God at the center of our lives by: Meeting Jesus in authentic community. Seeking to know God better. Learning what Christians believe. Serving God’s purposes through our life mission. Welcoming the deep changes that the Spirit desires within us. We share our church & this vision with others who are seeking to know God’s place in their lives.
Worship Services Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. On Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.
A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.
Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education
9:00 & 10:35: Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. The sign-in sheet at both hours is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall.
Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes every Sunday and pick them up promptly after worship. This is particularly important after the 9 am service so our teachers can put away materials and set up for the 10:35 class. Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.
Adult Christian Education Sunday morning and Midweek opportunities are avialabe; contact Robin Olschner for details (robino@tpcarvada. Org)
