Baptism Sunday (August 11th)
Dear Trinity,This Sunday, we get to celebrate five people getting baptized at Ingalls Creek! We hope you can join us for the worship service at 10am, and lunch at noon. Since many of you haven’t been to our Baptism service before, here’s some pointers...

“What’s the Plunge?” Each year, we invite those 13 and older who have been baptized to remember their baptism by going into the water for a brief dip!

Church Camp Signups
September 6-8
This Fall we are going to be gathering into small groups centered around John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way course.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to his disciples, “follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today?
To prepare us for this endeavor, our theme at Church Camp will be BELOVEDNESS. Pastor Matt will take us on a journey exploring the foundations of our identity through the baptism and temptation narratives in the Gospels. How can we distinguish between God's voice and Satan's? How can we receive, and not achieve, our identity as God's beloved children? All of this is essential before adopting practices that help us live into that identity.
Join us at Tall Timber, September 6-8.
Small Miracles 2024 Wrap Up
Over the past six weeks, 12 Trinity volunteers signed up to help serve brown bag lunches Monday through Thursday at Methow park. Our community park is just one of several locations in the Wenatchee valley where lunches were served. Some days, 20 lunches are placed in the hands of neighborhood children, other days 30, 35 or even 40 lunches are pulled from coolers and given away. If we’re lucky, a few kids will sit at the picnic tables under the shade of an awning to eat. This gives me a chance to ask questions, learn names, and a few details about our neighborhood lunch “guests”. I want them to know that they are cared for and that someone is taking an interest in who they are.
I don’t know how God will use our brief interactions, but I pray that the recipients of these free lunches will understand and remember that someone thought of them, cared for them and provided for one of their most basic needs during the stretch of summer days between two school years. Perhaps this small gesture will help them one day to understand the free gift given to them by Jesus to satisfy their greatest need.

We have five sweet, energetic, talkative, and well socialized kittens who will be looking for new homes in about a month! Clockwise, from top left: Pounce is very furry and roly-poly, with huge paws, and loves to eat. Maisy is adventuresome, curious, and loves people. Mini is smart and loves to play. Mickey is a lap cat who loves to snuggle. And Spiff is an independent free-thinker. All are expected to be good hunters like their mom. Call Rachel Whitson at 509-885-6917 if you would like to meet this crew and possibly add one or two to your family!
