Events & Announcements
December is now upon us and we begin the countdown to Christmas. As we countdown the days, let us take a Journey with Jesus. All you need to do is read the passage listed below on the associated day. The reading for today, December 4th, comes from 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.
May we NEVER forget that ALL Scripture is God-breathed. From start to finish it is profitable, beneficial, enriching, and illuminating, for all God's people. It teaches the truth, opens the way of salvation, warns of danger and comforts us in our sorrows. It reproves us when we go astray, corrects us when we miss the mark, instructs us to do what is right, and is the most comprehensive training manual in righteousness. It is no surprise that the Word of God is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness, for it is given by inspiration of God. It unveils His holy character and reveals His divine plan for mankind. It convicts us of our need for a Savior, and teaches us about the eternal plan of the Creator.
Schedule for Second Semester
As we wrap up the final days of this term, we press ahead and make preparations for the next semester. Second semester schedules are now viewable in Blackbaud. Please take a moment to review your schedule for any section or room changes. While we understand that unrequested changes may not be desired, changes may have been made to your schedule due to balancing classes, course instructor changes, and new offerings for the Spring in Dual Enrollment. It is important to note that schedules are finalized and this review is specifically for ensuring that all classes needed are applied. Students should only contact the counselor to request a class change if they have been placed in the wrong course.
Night of Prayer
Join us on December 12th at 6pm on the Trinity football field to engage in corporate prayer and to provide some instructions for a self-guided prayer walk across the Trinity campus. Prayer stations will be located in areas with specific prayer needs. We will pray for our GoWeek mission trips, the faculty and staff, our athletes and students, even our community at large. We hope that you will link arms with us on this special night.
Community Partnerships
We are so excited to be growing in our community partnerships and would love to have your help. We are looking for high school families to partner with our grade specific teams in an effort to collect some much needed supplies for those in need in our community this holiday season.
Students can connect with their Bible teacher if they need further details.

TeenStreet Local GO Week!
TeenStreet is an international community of young Jesus followers.
We partner with churches around the world to motivate, equip and walk alongside Christian teens to have a real relationship with Jesus and reflect Him daily in their world.
In all our events- teens will have fun, go deep, and be bold! They will be encouraged to live life fully. Whether at home, work, or school — they will see that they are uniquely made to fully participate in God's Kingdom story.
For Local GO Week 2023, teens will interact around our global theme for the year of ‘Seen.’ They will dig into Daniel’s story in the Old Testament and participate in worship, workshops, a United Nations refugee simulation, and a field trip to Clarkston, GA. They will hear stories from refugees and nonprofits in the most diverse square mile in America!

Students may purchase a lunch from SAGE or will need to bring a sack lunch - students will not be permitted to go off campus during this event *GO Week is not optional, this is a built in part of our academic calendar. Students are expected to participate during this school week by attending a trip or staying local. Students that do not participate will be counted as absent.
