This Sunday, in the middle of Lent, we rejoice! We will look closely at one of the most popular verses of the Bible and learn why we can rejoice. There is plenty of space for social distancing while enjoying worship with brothers and sisters in Christ. Join us this Sunday, March 14. Worship is at 10:00 am at the Phi Delta Kappa Banquet Hall (pictured above) located at 11311 Phi Delt Way, Odessa, 33556. After worship, we will continue our study of the book of Colossians and children’s Sunday School will be offered.
On Sunday morning you can find a pre-recorded service here.
On Sunday morning you can worship with us on Facebook Live at 10 AM.

VOLUNTEER – MOONLIGHT EGG MADNESS
Evening of Saturday, March 20, 7-9 PM
Help meet and greet members of the Trinity community at Moonlight Egg Madness – a glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunt. From 7 PM until dark we will have fun games and activities for families. This is a wonderful way to introduce ourselves to the community, but we need your help to make this event a success. You can sign up to volunteer at our website here. (about midway down the page).
We are limiting attendance this year. Children will be grouped to allow for physical distancing during the egg hunt. As a way to support our community through this event, we are asking attendees to bring an item for the Pasco County Coalition for the Homeless. A list of items needed is below the registration link for the event. The Coalition is currently working to help 250 homeless families into a rental home. They are asking for help in providing essentials for these homes.
GOOD FRIDAY
April 2 | 1:30pm
Many years ago, the custom was to hold services on Good Friday afternoon during the hours when our Savior was on the cross. Businesses closed from 12-3 pm and no work was done during these hours. In respect to our Lord, it is good to take time to ponder our Lord’s death and what it means for us on Good Friday. Join us for a special Good Friday service on April 2 at 1:30 pm. The service will be held at the Phi Delta Kappa Banquet Hall.
THANK YOU
March 8-15
Thanks to those who help to sort and prepare our Easter mailing this past week. Pray with us that many will join us on Easter Sunday to hear the greatest news of all: death is dead, love has won. Christ is risen from the dead!
You can register for our Easter services offered at 9 AM and 10:15 am on Easter Sunday morning.
A DAY ON THE WATER
Saturday, March 20 | 10:00 AM
