PASTORS GRONBERG AND MOHN ACCEPT CALL TO TRINITY
The Synod Office just notified me that they have received the signed call letters and compensation documents from Pastor Erik Gronberg and Pastor Kendra Mohn.  The Synod Office is putting those in the mail to me today.  Thus will begin a new ministry at Trinity.  We can expect our new pastors to arrive in Fort Worth prior to 16 August, orientation at Brite Divinity for Pastor Mohn,  with Pastor Gronberg officiating at his first service on Sunday 22 August.  Many thanks to those who have served us over the last nine months to make this happen.

Pastor Alicia’s Farewell Luncheon NEXT Sunday
After the 10:30 a.m. worship service, next Sunday, August 8, we will celebrate Pastor Alicia Thompson-Summers and her ministry among us. Please plan to join us for a potluck luncheon and the opportunity to say a fond farewell.

ACTS Bible Study Update
The Sunday morning ACTS bible study group is studying what God is calling us - members of his church - to do. With Pastor Gronberg and Pastor Mohn coming, we will be working on what God is calling each and every one of us to do, individually and collectively. The ACTS Bible study is well-suited to help us to be ready. Call Don Darling at 817-284-0297 or Donna or Doug Will at 817-448-9414 with any questions.

Church Nursery
We need a few good, loving, patient volunteers to stay with our little ones! If we have several people involved, we can rotate to serve once every 4 to 6 to 8 weeks! We need someone each Sunday, from 9 a.m. to noon. Please prayerfully consider this request--is God calling you to help nurture his little children and, consequently, their parents also? Please contact Abigail McDonald (817-980-4505), if you are interested in helping on a Sunday, in our new church nursery. THANKS!

Share Your Smile – Be a Greeter!
A few more good greeters would be wonderful! When there are many of us to help, none of us will get as tired. If you're willing to volunteer, we're willing to give you instructions on what a greeter does. Please call Mary Blaha at 817/923-1069 to join in. Thank you for your assistance.

E-Mail Updates from Trinity
We send out global e-mails to the congregation for announcements, special events, important information, etc. Our distribution list is comprised of all e-mail addresses currently on file for publication in the church directory. If you have an e-mail address, and you have not been receiving communications from Trinity, please send a note to Pennie Saadallah, TLC Webmaster, at this e-mail address: communications@tlcfw.org.

Altar Flowers
There are several dates available on Flower Chart, which is posted in the church office. The altar flowers are available for you to honor or remember your loved one(s) or to highlight some special occasion. Please make reservations by signing this chart. The cost for both arrangements is $50.00. You may share the cost with another family, if the first person/family who signs up is willing to do so. Flowers may be taken, after the 10:30 a.m. service, for your personal enjoyment. This is a loving way to praise God and share the beauty of His creation.
