A Brief Word from the Porters

Again, thank you for all of your kindness and Christian love during our years of life and ministry at Trinity United Methodist Church. Please welcome the Golden family into your lives as you welcomed us. And - in the name of Jesus - please go forward together in ministry and mission. The best is yet to come!

God Bless,
George and Kathleen
