Homecoming 2009

On September 20th, Trinity UMC celebrated 194 years in ministry! We enjoyed a joint service that began at 10:30am with the sounds of Cheryl & the Trinity Church Choir singing loud & proud for 15 minutes! Music was a large part of our Homecoming Service of 2009. The Praise Team from the Contemporary Service shared several songs with us throughout the service, the Handbell Choir played a resounding rendition of "Amazing Grace," and Kat McClure sang special music beautifully!

We remembered those we had lost and honored those who joined our congregation over the past year. Gary Stillwell was the only member of our congregation who received a home going service this past year. Gary past away in September of 2008 and we were honored to have his family join us for Homecoming 2009.

We were BLESSED beyond belief with 11 children born into our church family over the past year. Those who were honored include: MacKenzie Ann Helms, Hunter Caleb Taormina, Holden Garrett Taormina, Joshua Luke Wagenhauser, Reese Hayden Kidd, Rainey Cross Kidd, Henry Neal Davis, Caleb Davis McConnell, Nathan Hill Perry, Kaitlyn Rae Henson, and Melinda Kay Barth. Congratulations to the families of all these precious children of God!

After all the songs had been sung and all the babies had been blessed, we welcomed our speaker, Jimmy Howard back to the pulpit. Jimmy reminded us that those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. He also asked everyone "Who's your daddy?" Just check the bottom of your foot and see who's name you see. Who do you belong to? THE LORD.
