We Were Meant to Be Courageous
Bring the family and invite your friends to Trinity’s free movie night Saturday, February 25. This month’s Movie with a Message features the latest film from the creators of Fireproof - Courageous. Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge they’re ill prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Protecting the streets is second nature to these law enforcement officers. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That takes courage. Come see this free screening of this powerful film Saturday, February 25 at 6:30 p.m. on the big screens in the sanctuary. Discussion and refreshments to follow.
Spaghetti Supper
This year's annual Spaghetti Supper is scheduled for Saturday, March 10 from 3:30-7 p.m. in the fellowship hall. Come hungry and bring along your friends and family!

VOICES of EXPERIENCE
With Kirk Bloodsworth & Ricardo Wiggs
7pm, Thursday, February 9, 2012
Trinity United Methodist Church
90 Church St., Prince Frederick, MD
The CALVERT INTERFAITH COUNCIL invites you to hear two men share their harrowing experiences and their path to redemption, forgiveness & healing.
Kirk Bloodsworth was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in Maryland for a crime he had nothing to do with. An honorably discharged Marine and lifelong Waterman on the Chesapeake Bay, in 1993 he became the first person exonerated and freed from death row in the United States using DNA technology. “If this can happen to me it can happen to anyone.”
Ricardo Wiggs and his wife Sharon were shot in their home in Clinton in 1992. Sharon died. Ricardo lived to raise their daughters and has become a leading voice for victims and victim survivors in Maryland. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Maryland Crime Victims Resource Center*. “I want to be known as a survivor, not a victim.”
The Maryland legislature is considering a bill to repeal the death penalty and is also looking at ways to better meet the needs of murder victims family members in our communities. The CALVERT INTERFAITH COUNCIL and Maryland Citizens Against State Executions are pleased to present these powerful Voices of Experience, and invite you to learn more about the issues now before our policy makers in Annapolis.
