Volume 30 Number 45 November 14, 2017 TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH TRINITY TIMES 4815 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27609 tel: 919-787-3740 fax: 919-787-4884 www.tbcraleigh.com Deepen The Ties That Bind Dr. Jeff Roberts, Senior Pastor jroberts@tbcraleigh.com Twitter: @Jeff Roberts As we approach this coming season of Thanksgiving, we will all spend some time thinking about the blessings we experience. One of the great blessings is to share life with the congregation of Trinity Baptist Church. In particular, being able to work alongside the leadership that our church chooses from year to year has been a tremendous experience for me. I have discovered that over the years of ministry, many members whom I did not know on a deeply personal level have become close friends after spending time with them in leadership positions. One of the reasons for this is that there are certain leadership positions in our church that require many meetings, and many meetings with me. Over the years, those whom our congregation has placed in leadership have helped to guide our church and me as your pastor. I am blessed to know these men and women and to have witnessed their commitment to the Lord Jesus and our ministry together. This year you have again elected very committed people to lead and serve our congregation. I want to thank everyone who was willing to serve if elected. Your willingness to be on our Deacon, Trustee and Pastoral Advisory Council ballots enabled our congregation to participate in leadership selection. Thank you for saying yes when it comes to service. Below you will find a list of those who have been elected to serve beginning in 2018. Our deacons and trustees will serve for a three-year term and our Pastor Advisory member will serve for a four-year term as determined by our By-Laws. Our 2018 Deacons: Steven Avent, Susan Burnette, Jeff Cobb, Anne Doman, Ed Duke, Bruce Eickhoff, Frank Evans, Rhonda Gubbins, Jeff Hall, Billy Joyner, Karl Konrad, Emily Nelson, Kerfoot Ritter, Kim Sanderson, Jack Stanford, Suzie Short, Ronald Sneed, Johnny Teal, Laura Thomas, Allison Wiliams. Our 2018 Trustees: Jacob Arthur, Sam Spilman, Wes Thomas. Our 2018 Pastor Advisory Council Member: Baron Hignite. Please lift these new servant leaders up in your prayers. As we prepare for Thanksgiving, I hope you will join our North Hills community in worship on Tuesday November 21 at 7:00 p.m. for our North Hills Community Thanksgiving Service. This year s service will be held at North Haven Church (6620 Six Forks Road). Come and enjoy a time of worship with our community.

www.lifehonestly.com Spread the Joy! This is a special time of the year as we enter into the Holiday season. Through Thanksgiving, we are reminded of all that God has blessed us with and the many things for which we are thankful. Through Christmas, we experience the happiness that came with the birth of Christ. Through all of the time with family and friends, it can be a season of great joy! This holiday season our focus as a youth group is to Spread the Joy! We are striving to do that in through our church, through our friends, and through our neighbors! Our Church: OCC Youth Work Day: On November 19th, the youth are taking over all Operation Christmas Child Packing Shifts from 1pm-4pm. We will be helping our church as we prepare to send our Operation Christmas Child boxes to children all over the country. You can sign up for shifts as an individual, as a D-Team, or with your basketball team! Shifts are from: 1:00pm-1:45pm, 1:45pm- 2:30pm, 2:30pm-3:15pm, 3:15pm-4:00pm Our Friends Bring A Friend to TBC: 11th Grade TBC Student, Andrea Shealey said, It only takes 7 words to change someone s life. The 7 words she was referring to were Will you come to church with me? We all have friends at school or on our teams, bands, etc. that have never experienced the joy of being a part of a Youth Group family. We also have friends who have never truly experienced the joy of having a relationship with Christ. We have the opportunity to share that joy, simply by inviting them to attend on a Wednesday night, Sunday morning, Sunday night, Ski Trip, etc. Then, as a youth group, we all have the opportunity to be welcoming to our guest and to make sure they know they have a place at Trinity! Our Neighbors D-Team s Deck the School Halls: This Christmas, our D-teams will be supporting students in need from Moore Square Middle School. These students from families that are experiencing income and housing instability. This means that the Christian Davis, cdavis@tbcraleigh.com families are often moving from place to place, doubling up with family or friends, or living in shelters or hotels. Because they are just striving to meet basic needs like shelter, food, and water, Christmas gifts are not guaranteed to be under the tree on Christmas morning like they are in many of our homes. Each D-team will be given a student, and as a group, you will decide what gift(s) you would like to give this student for Christmas, and how you would like to go about getting these gifts (shop together, bring money to D-team leaders or to Christian, etc.). You will be given the student s age, gender, and a few ideas about what the student likes. Some examples of gifts are: holiday/fuzzy socks, soccer/ basketball, candy, nail polish, playing cards/ games, or anything (inexpensive) that you think a 11-13 year old boy or girl might like. Then, on November 29th, you will be given extra time to bring and package these items during D-Teams. Whatever your D-Team chooses to give will help to make this a joyful Christmas for a student in need! PARENT S NIGHT OUT Volunteers Needed Friday, December 1 6:00pm-8:30pm Students are needed to help watch and play with kids, while their parents enjoy a well-deserved night out! If you are interested, please contact Christian. Ski Trip 2018!

Be on the look out for a registration that will be in the mail soon!
