Greetings!
Welcome to the April Edition of the "NewsVine", the official Trinity East United Methodist Church newsletter! We hope you find this month's edition informative and entertaining. We are on the move sharing the Good News and inviting others to share in the identity and security of Jesus.
Come join with us in our ministries advancing in the vineyard because the harvest is plentiful. God has authorized and commissioned - "Go out and train everyone you meet far and near, in this way of life, marking them in the practice of all I have commanded you." What a joy it is to advance the Kingdom for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ our Lord!
Please feel free to contact us with any comments regarding the "NewsVine", and remember to visit the "TrE' Online" ( www.trinityeastumc.org), our website, which is full of information about us, our services, ministries, and upcoming events. We look forward to hearing from you and we certainly look forward to seeing you at "The TrE" on Sunday morning!
In Christ,
Pastor Bryan K. Dalco

Men's Ministry...
You may notice the new "brick road" leading to the trash dumpster in the East Parking Lot. With the heavy truck coming to pick up the dumpster on a regular basis, Men's ministry noticed that the ground that truck rolled over was sinking and would get pretty muddy after a hard rain. Thank you Men's Ministry for teaming up to make parking lot access easier, and for paving the way for easier access to the dumpster for the heavy garbage truck!
A special thanks goes out to Herbert Green, Jerome Price, Ray Stewart, Willie Mitchell, Sr., Godfrey McCoy, Walter Adams, & Nathaniel Autry, of the Men's Ministry, for all of their hard work.
