Singles Ministry with Trinity, Utica

In this day and age, it's really hard for people to meet one another, especially finding a spouse in the Church. At Trinity Utica, we are looking at starting a ministry for LCMS singles in the Metro-Detroit area. The goal is to create a safe place for people to meet and mingle within a Christian community. This is directed towards anyone who is single or knows of someone who is single.  We are looking to better serve this community. Please take a few minutes and fill out the survey posted on the bulletin board in the lobby or pick up a flyer on the Welcome Desk. We are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us. 

Thank you and God Bless!!!  Justin Mooney
