“The Potter and the Clay”
“The Potter and the Clay”
Jeremiah 18:1-11 & Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18
The Potter shapes the clay, but can an inert lump of clay shape the potter? We’ll think about the sovereignty of God and how the work of God gives our work value and meaning.

Kick Off Sunday
On September 11, we will kick off our new year of programming here at Trinity. This year, we will have monthly potluck meals together. Our first potluck is September 11 after worship. We will gather at church, indoors, in the fellowship hall for a meal together. Please bring your own place settings, and a dish to pass. Though we will be indoors, the theme of this month’s potluck is “Picnic” ! Have fun with it.
New ESL Classes at Trinity!
This fall, Trinity Reformed Church is starting a free English as a Second Language program for adults in our community. Interested in volunteering? Sign up here or with this QR code! If you have any questions, please talk to Claire Molling ([email protected]).
Together West Michigan Training Opportunity
On Friday, September 9th, 6p-8:30p and Saturday, September 10th, 9a-4:00p (lunch included) there will be a Together West Michigan Broad Based Community Organizing Training. Many of us at Trinity are still wondering:
1) What exactly is Together West Michigan and how does broad-based organizing work?
OR
2) How do I learn to be an even more effective leader in broad-based organizing on these issue areas?
If that’s you, join us on September 9th-10th at Park Congregational Church to build your skills and connect with other broad-based organizing leaders. See here for more information and registration.
Kids Hope
Amanda McElroy, Trinity’s Director of Children’s Ministries, will also now serve as our Director of Kids Hope. Thanks Amanda!
Kids Hope is a mentoring organization Trinity will partner with in order to work with students at Harrison Park Elementary. Amanda will soon be recruiting mentors willing to spend one hour a week building a better future for a child through the power of a relationship. Volunteers will work with one lower elementary school student during the school day. Learn more now by visiting https://kidshopeusa.org/volunteer/.
