Some website statistics

I thought people might be interested to know some statistics about the new website since it launched in February 2009. To date, we’ve had over 5,500 page views, over 4,400 unique visitors and visits from people located in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Brazil, Australia, and even one person from Norway.

Aside from the front page, the most popular pages on our site are the Staff page and the Newsletter pages. The most page views in a single day came on April 19, 2009. The site which has sent the most number of visitors to our site (that isn’t a search engine) is the Presbytery of the Twin Cities website.

Trinity Golf Tournament, Silent Auction and Dinner Fundraiser

Mark Allen — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:21:18 +0000

The Session and Youth Group are co-sponsoring its first ever Trinity Golf Tournament and Dinner/Silent Auction fundraiser this coming fall.

We know not everyone plays golf, so we also have a dinner and silent auction planned on Saturday the 19th allowing all members of the congregation to participate. This is an opportunity for our members to invite friends, family and neighbors to our church. Let’s not keep our great church just to ourselves. Tickets for the Dinner will be $15 per person – $5 for Children (under 12). This includes a meal, drink and dessert.

For our golfing members, invite your golf friends, family and neighbors to come join us and have fun on the links. The golf tournament will be $60.00 per golfer which includes green fees, 1/2 cart, bucket of range balls, prizes, snack and soft drink Plus, you can purchase separately a meal ticket at $7 which includes choice of chicken sandwich or burger, chips, fountain drink and a cookie. There are a limited number of meals. The course has limited the chicken or hamburger meals to 30.

Tournament Sponsorship: We will be looking for sponsors for 9 greens and 9 tee boxes. A sign with a business name will be made visible when golfers approach the tee box and on each green. Businesses and organizations wanting to sponsor a green or tee box will pay $60 per green and tee box. A family may also want to be a sponsor as well.
We would like to ask each family in the congregation to donate something for the silent auction or prizes for the tournament such as gift cards or certificates, baskets of golf gear, even cash (no amount too small).

HUMOR IS GOOD FOR YOU!

Research shows that a healthy sense of humor helps reduce depression and boosts mental and physical health. Trinity’s Mental Health and Wellness Group invites everyone to view the DVD “A Piece of My Mind,” on Monday, August 24, at 6:30 pm. Christian comedienne Chonda Pierce entertains with real-life topics like dieting and the differences between how men and women view their world—and she openly discusses her struggle with depression and how God helped her through it. It’s free and open to the public!
