Small Enough to be Family
Large Enough to Make a Difference
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

A Note From Our Council President
We are a Church in transition and transition as all of you know can be very difficult and even painful at times. As I work to navigate the changes we are living through at Trinity, I find my strength and ability to preserve first in God our father, who always provides, and second in you my Trinity family. I find that being with you in Sunday worship and fellowship always puts a smile on my face and tells me that no matter what Trinity will continue to grow and prosper. Most importantly it keeps me in a positive frame of mind.
That is why this month I want to encourage all of our congregation members to attend Sunday worship regularly. In our busy lives, it’s easy to let other commitments take precedence. Our Pastors will vary each Sunday for a time, but each one will still have a unique message for us about the love of Jesus Christ. Each of them is aware of our transition and truly want to give us an uplifting message and support us any way they can. It’s important that we also support them by showing up and participating in Sunday worship as often as we can. The importance of coming together as a community of believers cannot be understated.
Trinity is a family, and like any family, we are here to support and uplift one another. In times of joy and sorrow, it’s our church family that walks alongside us, offering prayers, encouragement, and practical help. Attending Sunday worship regularly allows us to build and strengthen these bonds, ensuring that no one has to walk their faith journey alone. We need each other especially during this transition. Often the only time we see each other is on Sunday.
Life can be challenging, and we all face moments of doubt, stress and fatigue. Being in church on Sunday provides us with a time to pause, reflect and renew our spirits. It’s an opportunity to lay our burdens at the feet of Jesus and be refreshed by his peace and presence. It’s also an opportunity to share our fears, burdens, joys and celebrations with each other.
So please make attending Sunday worship a priority in your lives. We all will miss some Sundays. There will be times when we are out of town or have commitments that just can’t be changed. I will have several of those Sundays coming up in the next few weeks. There are also congregation members that just can’t physically be here with us. But when we can let’s come together in worship to learn, grow, and support one another as together we walk this journey of faith that God has called us to. Your presence is a blessing to me and others and I can’t wait to see your smiling faces on Sunday morning.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peach of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4: 6-7

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NRSV
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”
