Faith is not belief in spite of evidence, but life in scorn of consequences-- a courageous trust in the great purpose of all things, and pressing forward to finish the work which is in sight, whatever the price may be. ... Kirsopp Lake (1872-1946), Landmarks in the History of Early Christianity [1920]

Request a personal contact Register for Summer Camp Register for the Fall term of Parents Day Out Pastor's Letter Each one of us is called to follow in the footsteps of Matthias. We are to gather with the faithful followers of Jesus, believe in Christ’s power over sin and death, and go about telling others about Jesus so that they might be brought into the company of God’s people...If our fellowships of faith are to continue to witness into the future we will need to follow Matthias example and accept the call to proclaim Christ crucified and risen from the dead... Worship and Music News The Chancel Choir is working hard on a short contemporary cantata (“Creation”) that will be presented on May 18. We would be happy to welcome anyone who might like to try singing in choir on a short term basis.... beginning the first Sunday in June, worship will begin at 9:00 a.m.... The Poor Box - An Ancient Tradition Macedonia & Achaia have been pleased to share their resources with the poor among the saints. They were pleased to do this, & indeed they owe it to them; for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material things .(Romans 15:26 - 27) In Luther’s day every church had a “poor box” to provide resources to provide a witness of God’s mercy to those in need. Indeed, as we see in Paul’s letter to the Romans, generosity in providing for those in need began at the very beginning of the Christian Church. The Outreach Committee has decided that as an opportunity to express gratitude for our own good fortune by helping others in need, Trinity will revive the “Poor Box”. The needs of those requesting assistance from the pastor is far greater than the $250 in the budget can provide for. If you feel that you would like to help, you can make an offering for this intent. Envelopes will be available at the box, and you can even record your envelope number.				Mark your calendar! Summer Sunday worship will move to 9:30 a.m., beginning June 1. Alecia's letter As we journey together through the month of May, please keep the Youth and Family Ministry at Trinity in your prayers. It is my hope that the many activities that we have planned throughout the month will help to encourage and strengthen the faith of the youth and adults here at Trinity. Happy May!.... Weekday Morning Devotions Pastor Schier-Hanson, Alecia and Stephanie would like to invite members of the congregation to join us as we gather for devotions, prayer and the Eucharist each Monday through Thursday morning at 9:15 a.m.
