Encourage all our members to be faithful in worship for our Lenten services, and during Holy Week and Easter. Help us all to be mindful of inviting family and friends to worship with us this Easter.
Gracious Lord, thank You for the gift of music, and for those who serve in Trinity’s Music Ministry. Please bless our Organist, Melissa Blanton, as she plays for the many Holy Week/Easter services.
