ELDER INVITATION
Following morning worship, the elders will be available to members
and guests for prayer and ministry. Simply come to the front of the
sanctuary where we will be glad to: pray for your personal needs, lead
you in receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, discuss church
membership.
November 16, 2014
ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS
We are glad to have you worship with us today. You
are worshiping with people who experience the
same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to
boast about except the God we worship. Please relax
and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and
desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely
led you here, you likely still have a number of im-
portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in
meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.
If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration
inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.
—Ronnie W. Rogers

church body can be
prepared to minister. Needs can be
someone’s car won’t start after
church, someone asks for help, or
any of a variety of issues. For No-
vember 16-22, Harrison Pennel will

LATE BREAKING NEWS...Continued
PERSPECTIVES ON THE
WORLD CHRISTIAN
MOVEMENT Get threaded into the biggest
story of all time. You're about to
experience God's heart for all
peoples and encounter the
momentum of the World
Christian Movement. Perspec-
tives will give you fresh eyes to
see God, His story, His world,
and His heart. Come learn how
He wants to include YOU in His
plans and purposes.
Audit the course or take it for 3
hours credit at OU!
Classes will be held at the Para-
digm (BCM) Building on Monday
nights from 6-9 pm, January 12
through May 4. For more infor-
mation, contact Debby at Per-
Carol Ann The class is not only
for students. If you will
require child care, please contact
us ASAP to let us know.
CHRISTMAS DECORATING
As we prepare our hearts for this glorious season, let us
beautify our church for the celebration. On the Sunday
before Thanksgiving (November 23) we are going to
deck the halls and decorate the walls for Christmas. It’s
a big church, so the more who help with this merry job,
the faster it will get done. We need strong arms and
backs to carry boxes and wreaths, creative hands to arrange, some who
will climb ladders, and some who will help set things up. We’d like
help to carry boxes downstairs right after morning worship, and then
except for a lunch break, we will be here all day. To help for any
amount of time, call or text Janet Banks or Angie Bushey . Thank you!

MISSIONS MINISTRY UPDATES
Tim Tillinghast in Africa will
be home on furlough soon – the
first Christmas here since 2006!
He asks prayer that he might
adjust to working-at-a-distance
from the USA and for those who
are filling in for him there while
he is here. We hope to have him
visit Trinity sometime in Decem-
ber or January.
One way to get to know people is
to have them in your home. Re-
cently, Lisa in Central Asia had a
birthday party for 3-year old
Evan. Local mothers were invited
along with their own 3-year olds.
Lisa felt like she got a lot closer
to the other moms. Husband
Larry is working on a project to
reach businessmen. Instructors
are needed who not only have
expertise in their field but also
have a burden to share the Mes-
sage of Reconciliation. Could that
be you?
James in Asia asks prayer for a
9-person team who are there now
for 11-days. He says, “We sure do
want to do what the Lord wants
and not our own plans and ideas.”
Please pray for direction, health,
safety and no security breach.
Also, since the main translator’s
Dad died last Sunday, please ask
Father to raise up other transla-
tors. They also need His guidance
in determining where some of the
smaller cities are in terms of hear-
ing the Good News.
Missions Sunday this year will be
on November 23. A dinner and
several brief presentations are
being planned in lieu of the even-
ing service, and tables will be
manned to provide information
about our various mission pro-
jects in Haiti, Idaho and China.
Trinity Chinese Fellowship
received a gift of several thousand
dollars. It has been earmarked for
the Naisu Mission Project. It will
help our Christian minority
friends in China to do follow-up
visits to our adopted people
group, as well as cover expenses
of future team members from
TCF. The next trip is in March
2015.
