Exciting Opportunity for Trinity Seniors
Setting Your House in Order: Biblical Wisdom for Life and Legacy Scripture urges us to“ set our house in order”( Isaiah 38:1) and number our days wisely( Psalm 90:12). This three-part seminar series at Trinity Church will talk about“ stuff most of us don’ t want to talk about,” but“ everyone needs to talk about,” because eventually,“ we will all have to talk about it!” The goal is to share information about important topics: estate planning, end-of-life preparation, and healthcare decisions. We hope you will participate to give your family peace, extend generosity to the church, and ensure your affairs reflect biblical values of wisdom, order, and love.
Session 1: Kingdom Stewardship – Estate Planning with Eternal Impact Led by an experienced attorney, Chuck Murphy, discover the essentials of estate planning— including wills, trusts, Power of Attorney, and strategies for leaving a legacy. Rooted in biblical principles of stewardship and generational blessing( Proverbs 13:22), this session helps you protect your loved ones and your resources. You’ ll glean information to help you“ Set Your House in Order.”

Join Us to Celebrate the completion of Mat # 100 on Sunday, July 19
Project Background
A visit to Midwest Mission in Pawnee, Illinois, in late 2023 inspired the idea of making sleeping mats from plastic bags. Trinity’ s matmaking project began in February 2024, and by early June 2026, the 100th mat was completed. It has truly been a labor of love.
Community Impact
Most of these mats have been distributed locally: 47 to Love Unlimited, which provides lunch and support to people experiencing homelessness on Saturday afternoons; 11 to St. Marks; and 7 to HOPE Southern Indiana. Two mats were given to ICAN in Indianapolis, and 17 were donated to Midwest Mission for international distribution. We have also helped launch looming projects at OLPH, St. Mary’ s of the Knobs, Stuart Middle School in Louisville, and indirectly through a Lion’ s Club in southwest Indiana. Most recently, we donated a loom, a mat, and supplies to the Senior Center at Red Bird Mission, where we taught a staff member and several seniors how to make mats to donate in their community.
Gratitude
Many of you have supported this effort by donating bags, cutting and joining them into“ plarn,” weaving, finishing mats, and building or improving looms— all so the mats can be given to those in need. Over the past 2½ years, more than 60 people have contributed to this work. Most Tuesdays, 4 to 10 people take part, and there is always room for you to join us.
