Walking Together: INVESTING IN TRINITY
Trinity Families,
One of the things that make Trinity a special community is the way we come together and invest in our students, teachers and school. Next week we will kick off our Annual Fund Blitz and I want to personally invite everyone of our Trinity families to prayerfully participate. Earlier this year, 100% of our teacher and faculty members participated in giving towards Annual Fund, which was a beautiful yet powerful demonstration of their commitment to Trinity and willingness to personally invest in the school in which they serve everyday. Now, it’s our families’ turn!
The Annual Fund provides resources that go beyond tuition and directly enhance the Trinity experience. These gifts help support classroom improvements and instructional resources, campus enhancements, teacher support and professional development, technology, student programs and other needs that allow us to pursue excellence throughout our school.
The amount of the gift is not nearly as important as the spirit of participation. When faculty, parents, grandparents, alumni and friends of Trinity give together, we demonstrate that we are truly walking together in support of our mission and the students God has entrusted to us.
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.
