Pastor & Mrs. Charles Wilson's Memories:
"One of the high points in my ministry at Trinity was at the Baptism font on May 14, 1967. Our son Erik was the blessed one. Baptism for each child was very special to me because it is the best sermon in action. The heart of Baptism is God's rich grace that equips each person to be ministers."
