Trinity Trumpet

WE LOVE IT! Folks are lovin’ our new Festival Service... Worship with us at Trinity Crossing on August 8 Come as you are, enjoy the music and fellowship! RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE ~ We serve dinner to the folks staying at the RM House the third Sunday of each month. On August 15 we are serving hot dogs/brats, fresh fruit, pasta salads, baked beans, dessert, fruit punch/lemonade. If you’d like to help serve or would like to donate to this ministry please contact Beth Gunderson at 389-3006 “Brothers Keeper” One of the best films of 1992, this acclaimed documentary focuses on the alleged murder in June 1990 of 64-year-old Bill Ward by his brother Delbert, 59, a simple dairy farmer whose defense became a rallying cause for the citizens of Munnsville, a tiny farming community in central New York. Known by all of Munnsville as harmless hermits, the Ward brothers (also including Lyman and Roscoe) live an 18th-century lifestyle in their tiny, grimy shack, sleeping in the same bed through cold winters and tending daily to their hayfields and livestock. Semiliterate and stunted by minimal exposure to the outside world, the Wards are disheveled children in the bodies of aging men; and when Delbert is charged with suffocating his ailing brother Bill, he's a prime target for legal manipulation and a media circus that's immediately drawn to his case. Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky spent nearly a year with the Wards and the Munnsville citizens who rallied to Delbert's defense, and their efforts prove that reality is often more compelling than even the richest fictional drama. As a slice-of-life study of eccentricity, country-folk stereotypes, small-town wisdom, and the power of the media, Brother's Keeper is funny, fascinating, and full of compassionate humanity. It's also a riveting courtroom mystery with characters that no casting director could improve upon, tracking the course of justice while leaving the viewer to mull over the truth behind Delbert Ward's alleged crime. --Jeff Shannon GRILLIN’ & GOSPEL ~ Join us on Wednesday, August 22 at 6:30 at the home of Bruce and Sandi Lacher for “Grillin’ & Gospel”.
