Church Notes for February 2, 2025

 

BIBLE BOWL!! SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH during Lutheran ½ Hour. Please plan on coming and watching the kids at Trinity in action with their knowledge! 

 

VISUAL FAITH MINISTRY (VFM) The theme for 2025 is A Year in the Psalms. In February we’ll meditate on Psalm 19:7-14, about the value of God’s Word. All women are invited to a one-hour zoom event on Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 pm for this unique approach to scripture. We will meet in the fellowship hall to participate together. Please prayerfully consider attending.

 

PRAY FOR THOSE AFFECTED by the California WILDFIRES! If you would like to financially support the church’s response to wildfires in California, please prayerfully consider a contribution to: LCMS Pacific Southwest District -Southern California Wildfire Response; LCMS Disaster Response – Disaster Response – Wildfires Fund Disaster Response – Strategic use fund. If you prefer to mail a check, please send it to The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, or LCMS, at P.O. Box 66861, St. Louis, MO 63166-6861. On the memo line, write “Disaster Response-Strategic Use (TR9206)” or “Disaster Response – Wildfire (NM8020-26020).” In addition, please continue to keep all who are suffering the effects of these fires, and all who are offering assistance, in your prayers. 

 

MEALS ON WHEELS -- March.  The sign-up sheet is on the rolling bulletin board and on the bulletin board by the office.  Information on what you need to know and do to deliver meals is also on the bulletin boards.  Timewise, delivery usually takes around 40 minutes of your day. There are two routes that Trinity is responsible for each week in March.  Sign up has begun and there are several dates still available. 

 

LENTEN SUPPER SIGN UP. The supper sign-up sheet is posted on the rolling bulletin board and on the bulletin board by the office.  There are only three weeks left to choose from. 

 

Building Healthy Families: Big changes are happening in our world. Someone once said, “If you want to know what is happening today, read the newspaper. If you want to know what will happen tomorrow, read the Bible.” The Bible is filled with God’s own words, given to teach, correct, and train us in righteousness. Reading and studying the Bible builds faith, changes our relationships, and prepares us for life. It helps us understand who God is and who we are. It builds trust and confidence in God and His good plan for us, which is especially helpful in times when we may be feeling overwhelmed, sad, or anxious about the future and what tomorrow may bring. If you’re not reading your Bible each day, how about starting today? (John 20:31) Ask your pastor for a reading plan or check out this one online at https://www.1517.org/oneyear.
