Trinity Tidings | February 13th Edition
Sunday Worship
Last Sunday. . .
Deaconess Deborah preached about how Jesus reminds us of our identity and call as salt and light in the world. If you missed her sermon, you can watch it here.
The Mixed Ensemble sang André Thomas’ “Keep Your Lamps” which helps us prepare ourselves for the penitential journey through Lent.
This Sunday’s. . .
prelude will feature the first movement of Paul Hindemith's first sonata for organ. While not directly related to the feast of the Transfiguration, the movement's dramatic nature and motivic transformations offer a musical interpretation that complements Jesus' radiant transformation atop, and descent from, the mountain. Because of length, the prelude will begin a few minutes before 10:00 AM.

February 15 – Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Our third session focuses on “Give us this day our daily bread” and the story of God feeding the people with manna in the wilderness. We’ll talk about what “daily bread” looks like at different ages and how God often uses us to help answer someone else’s prayer for enough. As a hands-on response, we’ll decorate bags or materials for a congregational food collection, connecting our learning directly to local hunger needs. Children, youth, and adults will all have a role to play.

A King Washes Feet: How to Love and Forgive Your Friends and Enemies—An Illustrated Bible Study by Jessica Claire Bond
We live in a world obsessed with chasing titles, power, and followers like they’ll save us. But the true King, the One who spoke galaxies into being, didn’t come with a scepter in His hand. He came with a towel. And He didn’t sit on a throne, He knelt low.
Each week you are invited to gather for honest discussion, intentional reflection, and contemplative worship in the Chapel. You are welcome to join for 1 session or for all, afternoon or evening.
If you would like to join the discussion and/or order a book, please sign up in the Narthex by February 8 or contact Dcs. Deborah.
(The book will be released on February 10 and is available on a sliding scale from $0 - $25 (the true cost of the book). Please make payments to Trinity earmarked: Lent Book Study)
From the Author - Trigger Warning:
This book is about real life. We need foot washing because we need Jesus to burst into the parts of our stories that hurt the most, and to wash us after the places we’ve walked. This book mentions subjects such as domestic violence, adultery, sexual abuse, suicide, pornography, trauma, earthquakes, death, abortion, religious persecution, and human trafficking. If these are sensitive topics for you, please be aware. But I pray that the Jesus you meet through these pages— and the way these topics are approached— brings healing. Perhaps this book was written exactly for you.
