Jesus made it clear we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves and that whatever we do for the least of his brothers and sisters, we do for him. Trinity is in the process of building a high-impact mission & service program. Here is what we're doing right now... |

Trinity partners with Bryte Elementary School in West Sacramento to provide "lunch buddy" mentoring. Healthy adults meet weekly with at-risk kids to help them develop and grow. We've heard many testimonials from administrators at Bryte School so we know it works. During the school year, after a screening, you can sign up to be a lunch buddy too. Contact us for more information. |

School can be frustrating and confusing!!! Volunteer today to help one of our students with homework help. We would like to form a small army of magi to help our students with their homework as the need arises. We will match students with helpers, and times and dates are flexible. If this sounds interesting to you please consider joining our tutoring team. This is a great opportunity to get some one on one time with our youth, and make a real difference in a young person’s life. Fill out a Homework Help Volunteer/Request form and turn it in to the office. Contact Robb Perrine to volunteer or if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments. |

This summer, the Broderick Christian Center burned to the ground. This was potentially tragic news for West Sacramento - BCC provides meals, rest, hygiene, and social services for the poorest and most destitute among us. I cannot understate the amount of good the BCC delivers to our community. But then, I really don't need to. Clearly, you understood the need when you started supporting Out of the Box over 2 years ago; on the day you said yes, we started laying the groundwork for our response this summer. When the BCC burned down, Trinity church was in a position to make an immediate and significant impact. We took a collection of over $600, We provided all of the bags for their pantry service for a month, 4-6 meals of food for over 100 [that’s 400 – 600 meals] ,and the volunteers to make and deliver those meals. Because of your dedication we were in a position to step right in without deliberation or hesitation. We were not standing around saying “Maybe we should?”, or “What if?”, we responded “When and where!” We fed the sheep. I am proud and honored to serve with each and every one of you. But there is more, BCC expects to rebuild with an overnight housing unit, they have resumed their own pantry services and as a result pantries and feeding operations like Out of the Box have been collaborating with others like never before. We have been working with River of Life, Collings Teen Center, Southport Community Church to enhance and improve feeding efforts in West Sacramento. We have delivered drinks and snacks to Collings for BCC, and one Thursday night in July, they delivered a ton or more of groceries to Out of the Box [A Ford 150 overstuffed with cases of food]. There is a big and beautiful church in this world, of which we are a part - a very active part.
