A NOTE FROM PASTOR RONNY…

If you love springtime, this is your month. Warmer weather. Flowers and trees. Longer days. Green grass. This season of the year is about new beginnings. 

The next Iron Sharpens Iron Pastors’ Retreat is coming soon. I’m blessed to spend a couple of days with God’s servants. These pastors are eager to learn and grow. Thank you for praying. May the Lord give us many “holy ground” moments!

Serve Clarksville is on Saturday, April 12. Jason Johnson and his team have served well. You can sign up online or in the Concourse on Sunday. Our church exists to worship God, love people, share Jesus, and make disciples. It’s exciting to see hundreds of our members serving together in our city and community. You can join a team and serve with us on April 12. 

Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday are a few weeks away. On Good Friday, we’ll gather in the Grace Worship Center and sing songs, share God’s Word, observe the Lord’s Supper, and reflect on Jesus’s sacrifice. On Resurrection Sunday, we’ll celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.  

Here’s the schedule for the weekend:  

Friday, April 18

Noon - Good Friday Worship Gathering (Lord’s Supper)    

Sunday, April 20

7:30 AM – Resurrection Morning Worship Gathering
9:00 AM – Connect Groups for All Ages 
10:30 AM – Resurrection Morning Worship Gathering 

Resurrection Weekend is a strategic time to invite people to join you for worship and Bible study. Invite cards are located throughout the campus for you to use. Your invitation could be what God uses to change a person’s life, marriage, or family. The two worship gatherings on Resurrection Sunday will be identical. Our goal is to help you have more time with your family. 

I encourage you to pray for our church as we fulfill the five goals for 2025. Here’s a refresher on the goals: 

• Baptisms (One more for God’s glory)

• Discipleship (Fulfill the Great Commission in our church and around the world) 

• Facilities (Complete the Faith Project this year)

• Churches/Pastors (Revitalize Trinity BC and invest in pastors) 

• Health (Physical, relational, financial, mental, and spiritual)   

 Angie and I are thankful for you. We love you!  

Jesus is Alive, 
Pastor Ronny 
Matthew 28:1-10

WEDNESDAY NIGHT GROWTH GROUPS

6:00-7:15pm  |  Cost: $10

• The Meaning of Marriage - Bryce and Karen Powers - Room 2225 FH
  Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate, that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage, that marriage does not mean "'til death do us part" but merely lasts as long as personal needs are being met, and that when serious differences arise, divorce is the best solution. However, all of these modern-day assumptions miss what marriage is truly about. Join Bryce and Karen Powers as they work through The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller.

• 8 Money Milestones - Marshall and Beth Biter - Room 2208 Parlor
  Based on Art Rainer’s 8 Money Milestones, Marshall and Beth Biter discuss biblical financial principles with individuals and couples. Join them on the path to financial health and generous living. A milestone is an important marker on a journey. You can reach financial peace as you reach each milestone on your financial journey. Learn how to handle money God’s way!

• Prepare Your Heart for God’s Word (Part Two) - Steve and Rachel Megyesi - Room 2232 FH (Available for those that completed Part One)
  In the second book of the Navigator’s 2:7 Series, Deepening Your Roots in God’s Family, you will complete exercises that strengthen your spiritual foundation through enriching Bible study, Scripture memory, and group interaction. Join Steve and Rachel Megyesi as they guide your group in deepening your personal Christian life, exploring approaches to sharing your faith, and discovering fresh ways to experience extended time alone with God.

• Luke in the Land - Tabitha Dowdy - Original Fellowship Hall
  Join Women’s Ministry Director Tabitha Dowdy in this seven-session study on the Gospel of Luke, written by Kristi McLelland. This study will challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos filmed on location in Israel—Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everyone.

• 1, 2, 3 John - James Sanders - Room 2223 FH
  Join James Sanders for an Exposition Commentary study through 1, 2, and 3 John, written by Daniel L. Akin. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, this study presents key passages in an accessible and applicable way. You will learn to see Christ throughout Scripture and be encouraged by the devotional nature of this exposition.

• Women in the Word - Debbie Farrell - Room 2230 FH
  We all know it’s important to study God’s Word, but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. A lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to grow in our knowledge of Scripture. Join Debbie Farrell in studying Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin. This study is designed to help Christian women stay focused and sustain their passion while reading the Bible.

Sign up at fbct.org/growthgroups.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT GROUPS

6:00-7:15pm | No Cost or Registration

• Revival and Spiritual Awakening (Large Group) - Pastor Ronny - Grace Worship Center
  Has God’s fire gone out? Join Pastor Ronny as we explore what God says about revival and spiritual awakening. This Bible study will ignite a passion in your soul for a fresh encounter with God. Throughout the pages of the Bible, the movement of God is revealed. His people drifted and sinned, leading to an urgent need for spiritual renewal. History unfolds many glorious examples of God’s activity, too. Is revival needed in our day? If so, will the Lord do it now? Let’s come together and ask the Lord to revive us again. May we experience a fresh movement of God, a downpour of His Holy Spirit! We hope you’ll join us for this timely study.
