THANK YOU, PASTOR LELAND… We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Pastor Leland Albright for being with us at Trinity and sharing his time and ministry. We are grateful for his presence and for the blessing he has been to our church family. Due to surgery that he had today, the planned thank-you reception on Sunday the 8th will not be held. Please continue to keep Pastor Leland in your prayers as he rests and heals. We pray for God's healing and strength during his recovery and hope he can plan another visit with us again when he feels up to it.
