Excerpts from the February 2012 Logos

A Letter from our Interim Priest -

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Such I call you, even though I have only met a few of you, for in Christ we are friends already.   It is in his name and service that I have accepted the call to become your pastor and interim priest; and I look forward eagerly and wholeheartedly to joining your community and sharing the journey with you in this time of transition.  I know it will be challenging, I also expect it to be exciting and Grace-filled.  God will be with us on the way.

Please introduce yourselves to me and keep reminding me of your names until I get them right.  I will also endeavor to visit the folks who need visiting and or pastoral care as soon as possible.  If you know of anybody in this category, let me know!  I will try to learn the ropes quickly so I can do my part to sustain what you are already doing in mission and ministry and to share in your fellowship.

  

I am also charged with helping you discover new possibilities for the future so that the vision for Trinity Church in 2016 will become a reality.  You have already started down that road and I know that you have the human and spiritual capital that you need to get there.  It will be my privilege to be your partner for a time and my hope and prayer to then see you on your way filled with expectation and joy.

In His Service,

Christopher David

Lenten Meditation Series

During the Lenten season Joe Hauser will facilitate a discussion on “Portraits of Christ.” The sessions will begin at 7:00 PM. in the library at Trinity on Tuesday, February 28. 

There will be 6 sessions in all.

For Christians, Lent has always been a time of special renewal and healing. During these 40 days we embrace the cross, and through God’s power and healing find Easter’s glory.  There are many portraits of Christ in the New Testament, among them: the Word, Lord, Door and Lamb. The images all ultimately proclaim God’s power of love for the world and empower us to trust and love. The portraits of Christ also find their deepest meaning for our lives when they are related to the passion and death of Jesus. Each week of the “Portraits of Christ” focuses on one image of Christ and relates the power of the passion to our lives today.

During this time of transition, it is really important that we come together as often as possible in prayer and reflection. Fellowship in Christ is what links us together. It is also an opportunity for others to experience us as a community of faith. Invite a friend to come with you.  Join us on Tuesday evenings beginning at 7 PM. on February 28.
