Student Ministries Kicks Off New Season
Our Student Ministry is open to all students in 6th – 12th grades. It is a fun, friendly, action-packed ministry that encourages worship, prayer, learning and spending time together. We have a heart to serve and desire to make a difference in our world… and we have a great time doing these things.
Our programs are for any youth who wants to build positive relationships, have fun, worship God, and serve others.
We are excited to announce that Landon Redding has joined our staff as Interim Director of Student Ministries. He previously led the youth program here at Trinity a few years ago and is very excited to be back working with our students. He can be reached at LandonR@TrinitySouthlake.org for any questions, comments, concerns, or just to talk.
We are kicking off a new season of Student Ministries on September 19th at 7:00 pm at the church. This meeting is for both students and parents, to make sure everyone’s vision is heard for the future of the program. There will be snacks and light refreshments on hand. All are invited to attend.

Congregational Meeting September 2
Please plan on attending a brief Congregational Meeting on Sunday, September 2nd following the 10:00 am Worship Service. The purpose of the meeting is to receive recommendations from the Nominating Committee for the new class of Elders and Deacons and then vote on this new class. Also, at the meeting, we’ll be making a slight adjustment to Pastor Tim’s Terms of Call due to a change in how Grace Presbytery wants the number to be calculated.
Worship & Breakfast on Labor Day Weekend
Join us at 9:00 am on Sunday, September 2nd for breakfast and fellowship on the patio followed by Sunday Worship at 10:00 am. We will be holding only one worship service on this day which combines the aspects of both our traditional and contemporary worships.

We Welcome Whitney Avritt as Interim DCE
It’s our pleasure to announce that Whitney Avritt has joined the staff of Trinity as Interim Director of Christian Education. She assumes her responsibilities here starting August 1.
Whitney grew up in Greenwood, Mississippi and attended Mississippi State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Business and MBA degrees and worked as a graduate assistant in finance and economics. She also studied art at MS State. She and her husband, Alston, moved here three years ago after living in Memphis, TN for seven years.
She worked as a teacher at both the First Presbyterian Preschool in Grapevine and Hope Preschool in Cordova, TN, and is also the owner and artist of Pleasantview Pottery in Greenwood, MS. Whitney’s volunteer experience includes work with Children’s, Youth, and College Ministries at several Presbyterian churches in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Grapevine, TX. She is an ordained Deacon in the Presbyterian Church and has served as a Sunday School Teacher for 6th and 7th grade students.
The Avritt family has been attending Trinity since the beginning of the year. You will recognize Whitney’s family by looking for the matching red heads. Whitney and Alston recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and they have three children, Brewer (age 6), Adam (age 4) and Taylor (8-months old). They enjoy camping as a family and hope to take Taylor for her first outdoor adventure once the weather cools down.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Whitney and her family.
