Church Fest Many of the area churches came together to sponsor the annual Church Fest on Saturday, April 8th. Trinity’s contribution was a Vacation Bible School for the young children. Participating from Trinity were Martha Brallier, teacher and song leader, Donna Tiser, Dot Lazarus, and Ann Tiser.
Four Rivers Balloon Race This community event benefited the Four Rivers Foundation which helps children access sports programs and assists women in dealing with domestic violence.
Even with inclement weather threatening, the Four Rivers Balloon Race was a success. Members from Trinity worked and helped at many events at the festival. On Saturday, April 22nd which was
Earth Day, Pastor John and Debra Scott did special Earth Day activities with the children by potting flats of flowers into small pots.
On Sunday, April 23rd, a Community Worship Service was held on Magnolia Hill, the site of the Balloon Festival. Area churches came together to worship that day. Bro. Mike Deville gave the message, Pastor John was in charge of the Children’s message and Terri Cotton was the soloist and song leader. - Dot Lazarus

Many came together to salute the Flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and honor the Ultimate Sacrifices of the 109 men from Catahoula Parish and all others who never came home.
Dot Lazarus played a medley of patriotic preludes before the service began. Hannah Cotton sang the National Anthem and God Bless America during the service. American Legion Auxiliary members Martha Brallier, Margaret Hill, Jeanine Reeves, Donna Tiser, and Mindy Boothe read the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifices in World War l, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, the global war on Terrorism – Iraq, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, and the prisoners of war.
