Methodist Church

Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35401
Sunday Services begin at 10:30 a.m.
Office hours:
Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
WELCOME TO TRINITY!
Our congregation includes people of all
backgrounds and perspectives. We gather
together with a common love for God and all
God’s people. We’re glad you are with us this
morning!
Our pastor is Reverend Penny Ford, who can
be reached through the church office Monday
through Thursday (759-4206) or at revpennyford@gmail.com. You can also
join us on FACEBOOK at “Trinity UMC Tuscaloosa, AL.”
NURSERY: A nursery is available during all worship services. Our nursery
conforms to all current safety standards. We have a wireless pager system for
parents, who receive a pager when they leave their children with the trained
nursery workers.
REST ROOMS: Men’s and women’s rest rooms are on the lower level at the
bases of the steps on either side of the narthex. There is also a family restroom
on the main level in the area behind the choir loft.
HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY: There is an elevator in the education
wing that accesses all levels of the church—the sanctuary, the fellowship hall,
and all the Sunday School rooms. Handicapped parking spaces are in the rear
of the church.
HEARING ASSISTANCE: We have hearing assistance aids available located
in the brown box on the table in the narthex. Or you can just ask an usher!
READY TO JOIN? There are several ways you can join with us in serving
God and others. If you are ready today
you can fill out a yellow card (front
and back) in the pew, and you can
come forward during the last hymn of
any service. Or, you can make a private appointment with the pastor.
Full (Professing) Members are those
who join Trinity UMC to serve God
through their prayers, presence, gifts,
service, and witness. Your church
membership can be easily transferred
from another UMC church or a church
of another denomination.
Affiliate Members are members of
another United Methodist church who
join Trinity UMC temporarily, while
retaining membership in their home
United Methodist church. (Lots of
students choose this option).
Associate Members are people who
have been baptized in another Christian
denomination and who want to connect with Trinity UMC, but also wish
to retain their current denominational
membership.
TRINITY UMC MISSION
STATEMENT
To foster an intergenerational community that thinks deeply, serves
passionately, and loves generously, following the example of
Jesus Christ, reaching out to the
University of Alabama community
and beyond.

* CALL TO WORSHIP FROM PSALM 27
Tori Sheehan
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Grace, mercy and peace to you in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
the Lord is the stronghold of my life. Amen!

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

* SAYING WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Apostles’ Creed
#881
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

MEMORIALS
In Memory of James Kelly
Given by Bob & Becky Sandel
In Memory of Mrs. Anne Baker Eatman Kyle
Given by Mrs. Guy Edward Moman to the Malone World Service Fund
In Memory of Dr. M. L. Roberts

MALONE WORLD SERVICE FUND
The Malone World Service Fund is intended to support the global
ministries of our church. Anyone who wants to affect change in the
world at large can contribute to this fund, with the knowledge that the
money will be used to better the condition of people in other parts of the
world.
In recent years, the Malone World Service Fund has been used to support
Trinity’s mission activities in Nicaragua. The Fund has a long history at
our church and over time has been used for international disaster relief
or other international causes.
Guy Moman was a member of Brandon Memorial Methodist, the
predecessor to Trinity Methodist. Mr. Moman bought the property that
Trinity now occupies and was part of the original building committee.
Mr. Moman’s wife was Helen Malone Moman, whose father was a
Methodist minister. Decades ago Guy and Helen established the Malone
World Service Fund at Trinity in memory of Helen’s father.
We continue to be thankful to that family for their vision and their
generosity. We invite others who are interested in global ministries to
contribute to the Malone World Service Fund.
