Trinity news and events
Second wedding at Trinity for 2009
March brought the second wedding of the year to Trinity when Stephen and Danielle were married.
More than a hundred guests attended the wedding ceremony at 11:30am — and the reception afterwards was held on the church grounds.
Officiating duties were shared by Pastor Wayne Zimmermann from Lifegate Baptist Church and Pastor Michael Leslie from Trinity.
After photos at the church, the bridal party went to Manly for extra photos in a beach setting.
First wedding at Trinity for 2009
January 2009 brought our first wedding for the year, when Josh and Krystle got married at Trinity.
Church members helped with catering and other duties to ensure that the day went smoothly.
Both Josh and Krystle are talented musicians, and Krystle was a member of Trinity's church choir as well as playing in the church orchestra.
After photos at the church, the bridal party went to the beach for more photos.
Josh and Krystle have moved out of Brisbane, and have now settled into their new home further north.
Trinity Olympics
October saw the 4-yearly Trinity Olympics on the church property.
A record number of contestants formed 4 teams to plot and plan and outwit other teams. Games of skill included paper-plane making, water-balloon tossing, and the ever-popular tug-o'-war.
Men's conference
Also in October, Trinity hosted a men's conference organized by Pastor John Edwards of Calvary Independent Baptist Church in Beaudesert (second from right in the photo above of four pastors who attended).
About 50
men attended, and they were treated to some good preaching on
family values and topics related to the position the Lord has
placed them in.
Music
Music and singing formed a nice part of the conference, with a number of men either singing or playing instruments throughout the day.
Relaxation
After lunch, many of the men went bowling for some relaxation before the evening meal and the night session of the conference.
Trinity baptism
Praise God for another
baptism at Trinity.
It is always a great joy to see a soul come to the Lord, then follow Him in baptism and join the church.
Pray that the Lord will continue to add to our church, as souls are saved and baptized.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
Missionaries to Nauru visit Trinity
The McGeorge family — Adam, Christina, and 2-year-old Elijah
— were welcome visitors to Trinity in 2008.
These missionaries to Nauru have the aim — as independent Baptist missionaries — “to start an indigenous, independent, fundamental, Bible-believing, self-supporting, Baptist church on the southern end of the Island Nation of Nauru.”
They plan to do this by soul winning, baptizing and discipling converts, and training nationals for the work of the ministry according to the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20.
Nauru is the smallest republic in the world. It
has a single island measuring only 21 square kilometres, which lies
only 42 km from the equator.
It is about 3000 km north-east of Trinity Baptist Church in Brisbane, and the estimated population in May 2008 was 13,735.
At Trinity, Adam gave his testimony, told church members about his goals and about Nauru, and provided prayer cards.
Please support and pray for the McGeorges as they attempt to lead souls to Christ, baptize and disciple the converts, and train Nauruan men for work in the ministry. More information about the McGeorges is on their website.
“Fossils and the Ark” day fun for Kids Club
On Fossil Fun Day,
Trinity's Kids Club had a lot of fun learning about Noah's Ark, the
worldwide Flood, and how fossils were formed.
After a Bible reading discussing creation and Noah's Flood, they learned how long a cubit was, and measured 300 cubits from near the back of the church property to the front fence.
Everyone was surprised at how huge the Ark must have been at 300 cubits.
Then the kids had a lesson about how fossils formed. They discussed the fossils pictured above, went on a fossil hunt, and made their own facsimile fossils out of clay.
They also made an outline of a Triceratops dinosaur, which was as long as our Fellowship Hall, and learned that Noah wouldn't have had to take these dinosaurs on the Ark as huge adults, but could have taken them as small juveniles.
Near the end of the day they played Noah's Ark games, which they greatly enjoyed.
