[ No cost ] PARENTAL GUIDANCE REQUIRED Sundays 10 AM Before our children go back to school/extra-curricular activities, we can learn to enhance our children s relationship with us, influence their relationships with those outside the home, and most importantly, advance their relationship with God that will help our children weather the inevitable storms of life.

He says we can only take what we brought to the game. Everything else goes back in the box - the cash, the vacation home and the status vehicle.

PERSONAL WORD SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 2014 FULL COMMUNION 8:45 & 11:00 AM Sanctuary The 8:45 AM worship service is broadcast via 15-minute delay from 9-10 AM Sundays on WAPI-1070 AM. SERMON Dr. Andrew Wolfe MUSIC 8:45 & 11:00 AM Sanctuary Choir MINISTER ON CALL Bobby Scales, 746-4547 8:45 & 11:00 AM WESLEY HALL, Rev. Nathan Carden Several years ago on a trip to France, we had the opportunity to visit the American Cemetery and Memorial, a World War II cemetery and memorial, in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, that honors American troops who died in Europe during World War II. It sits on the bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, where the bloodiest fighting on D-Day took place. Almost 10,000 soldiers are buried there. Quiet, peaceful, almost serene today - it was hard to imagine the savagery that took place there almost 70 years ago. We met an American in his 70 s or 80 s standing at the edge of the bluff, looking down at the beach. He had been on that beach on D-Day. His grandson was with him. It was his first time back. He had brought his grandson, so he would know and remember the sacrifice of so many. It was a profoundly touching scene watching the two together, the grandfather s arm around his grandson s shoulder. They gave their tomorrow for our todays, is inscribed in a similar cemetery. It was touching also because my father served in the 101st Airborne and was a part of that invasion, serving until he was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge. Like many of that generation, I never heard him talk about it. Memorial Day has largely become a beginning of summer holiday, with little remembrance to it. We are more focused on today and tomorrow, which is as it should be. But we are also diminished if we do not pause from time to time to remember. Remembering is a source of humility, it reminds us that we didn t arrive where we are alone. We are not as self-made as we would like to think that we are. Our accomplishments are made possible by the sacrifices of those who have gone before us. Remembering is a source of gratitude, for the roads traveled before us, the lives of those who have nurtured us. Remembering is a source of inspiration and courage for our own battles. Remembering is a reminder of what we owe the future of what we will give and leave to those who come after us On our altar, these words are inscribed: This Do In Remembrance of Me. As Christians, we are a people who remember not as a way to be shackled by the past, but empowered for the present and future. In remembering who we are because of Jesus, we are empowered to become who we are today and who we will become in the future. information for guests & new members Welcome to Trinity United Methodist Church!

Trey Hill Makes Beautiful Music Anyone who has attended the Contact contemporary worship service at Trinity knows that Worship Leader, Trey Hill, is a talented musician. But what people may not know is that Trey is an accomplished songwriter with a brand-new CD of six original songs. Trey was born to be a musician. His father is a working musician and worship leader who passed his love of music on to his kids. When Trey was seven, his dad bought him his first guitar and set Trey on his path to a career in music. Trey taught himself to play by ear at 12 and began leading worship with his dad at 14. When I was young, I always wanted to play music, Trey says. I had a good ear and would listen to songs on the radio and try playing them. Trey continued his formal music education at the University of Mobile, where he received classical training to further his self-taught skill. He ultimately earned his degree in Church Music with a minor in Worship Leadership. Always a songwriter, Trey started writing worship songs in 2008, after his involvement with Revive, a weeklong youth retreat on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. Mentored and encouraged by camp founders, Tom and Patty Lane, who are also deeply involved in Nashville s Christian music business, Trey began putting pen to paper, writing songs born from his own relationship with Christ. When I grow up, I really want to be a songwriter! Trey says, jokingly. In 2012, Trey came to Birmingham when his wife, Betsy, enrolled in UAB s dental school. After looking for jobs in the area, Trey was named the worship leader for Trinity s growing Contact service. He also became the worship leader for Trinity s Element Youth Ministry. After releasing their first CD, Brightest, in 2011, Trey Hill Band with Kevin O Keefe, drummer/ bass guitar; Travis Boyd and Patrick Seager, electric guitar; and Jack Walker, keyboards released You Have My Heart, a six-song EP in April of this year. All of the songs were written by Trey and recorded with the band at Emissary Studios in Orlando, Fla., in August 2013. All the songs on the disc are born out of my own devotional life, Trey says. When I write, it comes from particular experiences. Trey wrote the song Overwhelmed, in 20 minutes sitting in his new, empty apartment in Birmingham. Usually it can take me a month to write one song, but this one just poured out of me as I was faced with all the newness in my life, Trey says. While Trey claims musical influences from Prince to Jason Isbell to Hillsong United, the music he writes and makes is all his own. My music has taken me places I would never have expected to go. You Have My Heart CD by Trey Hill Band is available for $4 on treyhillband.bandcamp. com or from online retailers Amazon.com, itunes and Spotify. Copies of the CD are available for $5.
