SUMMER BIBLE STUDY WITH PASTOR MIKE
Interim Pastor Mike Sharrett invites you to join him for a summer Bible study. Sundays,  through Aug 28, 8:30–9:20am, room 250. Sorry, no childcare. "From Eternity to Eternity: How God Claims You and Keeps You." From 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17, we'll see that God is with you in the storm; God chose you; God called you; God justified you; God sanctifies you; God glorifies you. All are welcome; attend as few or as many sessions as you desire!

PASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE: STATUS UPDATE & SURVEY
The Pastor Search Committee continues to meet weekly, and we are grateful for your ongoing prayer support. We are working under an aggressive projected timeline that aims to have our church packet out in early August, applications open through September, evaluations and interviews in late fall, and—Lord willing—a presentation of finalists to the congregation by year end. To assist in our efforts, please complete this short survey about our next Senior Pastor by July 24. Also, please continue to pray for the committee, our search, and for the new pastor whom God will be bringing to us. Members can submit questions and suggestions to the PSC by emailing here.

QUESTIONS ABOUT PCA GENERAL ASSEMBLY?
Join us Sunday Aug 7 for a time to hear from the Trinity elders who went to GA. Please send questions in advance to Mike Sharrett by Aug 3.

Move-In help days: Aug 13, 15, and 17 ISI and church volunteers will transport arriving international students by large buses from Dulles Airport to Charlottesville. We particularly need local volunteers to drive international students from the drop-off point on Alderman Rd to their dorms/apartments around UVA grounds. This is often a first contact these students have with Americans and/or Christians. You may also volunteer to help greet arriving internationals at Dulles.
