Trinity celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord this morning!

It was a powerfully solemn Good Friday service at Trinity this evening. The Seven Last Words of Jesus were represented by the 7 candles on the stripped alter. The candles were snuffed out one by one after a bell toll and meditation of each of the Seven Words.

It was a moving Palm Sunday this morning at Trinity.

The annual ladies prayer breakfast with Christ Lutheran, Christus Victor Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran. Trinity Lutheran was the host and Christ Lutheran did the program. We were entertained by a "guest" from Grinderswitch TN. It was a good time!

BLESS NOW, O GOD, THE JOURNEY Hymn 326 ELCA hymnal Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make, the path through noise and silence, the way of give and take. The trail is found in desert and winds the mountain round, then leads beside still waters, the road where faith is found. Bless sojourners and pilgrims who share this winding way; your hope burns through the terrors, your love sustains the day. We yearn for holy freedom while often we are bound; Together we are seeking the road where faith is found. Divine eternal lover, you meet us on the road. We wait for lands of promise where milk and honey flow, but waiting not for places, you meet us all around. Our covenant is written on roads, as faith is found. By Sylvia G. Dunstan 1955-1993

Trinity had a successful youth event today helping fellow congregants (County Line Flowers and Greenhouse.)

Ash Wednesday service at Trinity "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Trinity youth did a wonderful job leading worship service this morning.

So proud of our youth. They participated in the Souper bowl of Caring today. More than 29 years ago, the Souper bowl of Caring began with a simple prayer from a single youth group. Since that day, more than $143 million has been raised for local charities across the country through Super Bowl of Caring. Trinity's youth group donated their nonperishable food items to the Light House Mission. Thank you to all who donated.

In the words of one of our congregants, "you would have loved the Christmas Eve service at Trinity tonight. Bells accompanying hymns, choral anthems, an 8-year old playing one of the organ preludes, and a guitar leading the candle-lit Silent Night. It was just lovely."

OH, PRAISE THE GRACIOUS POWER . . . . . – Thomas H. Troeger (1945- ) “Oh, praise inclusive love, encircling every race, Oblivious to gender and wealth, To social rank and order. “Oh, praise persistent truth, That opens fisted minds and eases from their anxious clutch the prejudice that blinds. WE PRAISE YOU, OH CHRIST! YOUR CROSS HAS MADE US ONE!

FROM BISHOP BILL GAFKJEN -- "This holy season, I invite you to join me in the midst of the shopping, the wrapping, the decorating, the incessant Christmas carols, and the feasting to stop, look and listen deeply to the people around us. I invite you to see their need, to listen for their deepest Advent yearnings, and to find ways – in word and deed – to point to the manger, the cross, and the empty tomb, and say with the prophet Isaiah, 'See, your salvation comes!'"

Trinity Youth Thanksgiving Card delivery to Sycamore Manor and Springhill Village today. Pushups at the end!

Trinity's handbells were sent out for refurbishing. In the mean time, the bell choir is playing songs entirely on chimes.

A satisfying 'property clean up day' at Trinity this morning. Special thanks to Rose-Hulman students for lending a helping hand.

Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation. . . . . PSALM 91:14-16

I will walk in the presence of the LORD—in the land of the living. Psalm 116:9

Happy Easter! Christ has risen, Hallelujah!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Lyrics for Pie FUNraiser. The youth made $1,350 today auctioning homemade pies and handmade wreaths. God is good!
