Zumba
Zumba classes continue to be offered at Trinity Church in Fellowship Hall. Zumba fuses Latin rhythms with easy to follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program.

Saturdays:
9:00-10:00 AM. Cost per class is $5. This class is a regular Zumba class which is a little faster and has less
ongoing instructions during the exercises.
Don’t Forget the Toppings!
February: Trinity Church is collecting condiments each month for the Bridge. The Bridge is a food pantry located in New Cumberland. You can put your donations in the box marked ‘Bridge’ on the table in the hallway. The donation for the month of February is mustard. Thank you for your support.

The Life You’ve Always Wanted
February 15 - March 28:
Beginning Wednesday, February 15th, a 7 week bible study will begin.
The study is based on the book “The Life You’ve
Always Wanted” by John Ortberg.
The goal of the study is to help us grow
spiritually.
God created us to be His masterpiece but so often we fail
to see ourselves as a beautiful creation.
Transformation can happen as we learn how to
arrange our lives as Jesus would live if he were here in our place.
Come and join us Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to
8:00 PM from February 15 to March 28.
We will meet in the Mt. Olivet Room.
Please call the church office or Jody or Jim
Blacksmith if you have questions or would like to sign up.
Everyone is invited!
