Walking Together: Moments That Matter
What a special week at Trinity! Our Seniors returned from Senior Retreat after an incredible few days of fellowship, worship, and spiritual growth. It was encouraging to see our students step away from the normal routine and intentionally engage with God and one another. Please continue praying for the Class of 2027 as they lead our High School and seek to make Christ known throughout their senior year.
As we head into the Labor Day weekend, I also want to wish all of our Trinity families a Happy Labor Day! I hope the extended weekend provides an opportunity to slow down, enjoy time with family and friends and reflect on the many blessings God has given us.
Thank you for continuing to partner with us and for being such an important part of the Trinity community. We are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside your family this year.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
As we continue walking together, may we know God more deeply, make Him known more faithfully and trust Him to guide every step we take. May the Lord bless you and your family this week.

Chapel
This week in High School chapel, the head of our History Department, Dr. Nicholas Yeakley shared a message with us from Romans 3 entitled "How Good is Good Enough?" We were reminded this morning that while the world may attempt to achieve a right standing with God through a good lifestyle, the standard for such a "good" lifestyle is a whole lot higher and tougher than we could imagine. Yeakley's exposition of Romans 3 helped us to see that God's law, although good and perfect, has already condemned us in its standard of perfection. The good news for us this week was that we could obtain a righteousness with God "apart from" the law. Students were challenged to look to Christ, the perfect fulfillment of the law and substitution for all that would receive Him.
