Holy Week
This upcoming week is Holy Week. We want to welcome everyone to worship with us either in-person or on the “Trinity Belle Plaine” You tube channel. We will be walking with our Lord and Savior and seeing how great his love is for us that he should lay down his life so that we can have eternal life through his death on the cross.
Sunday, March 28: Palm Sunday @ 9 a.m.
Thursday, April 1: Maundy Thursday @ 7 p.m.
Friday, April 2: Good Friday @ 7 p.m.
Sunday, April 4: Easter @ 9 a.m.
Spelling Bee
This year’s spelling bee has been moved to Friday, March 26th at 1 p.m. Please note that we are trying to limit the number of visitors in the school, so we will live stream and record the spelling bee so that you can watch your child participate from the comfort of your home. Another change this year is that we will have the 6th and 7th grade go first, then the 1st and 2nd graders, and finally, the 3-5th grade students will wrap up the event.
Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday (March 28) we would like to invite your children to join in the procession of palms at the beginning of our worship service. If your child is interested, we will be gathering in the back of church before our worship service begins. Our worship service begins at 9:00 a.m. and Sunday school begins at 10:15 a.m.
God’s blessings on your week.
Pastor Daniel Slaughter
