From the Pastor:
This weekend, our worship continues to focus on the ideals of discipleship. However, as Matthew quotes Jesus’ description of discipleship, it doesn’t seem easy. Sometimes, our faith brings us into conflict with others around us. Sometimes, we may even feel as if we are wondering alone in the world because we have taken on the gift of faith in our lives.
To me, the important part of this lesson comes at its end when Jesus tells us that we find life when we lose it. God has blessed each of us with understanding, faith, and hope. As we live our lives from one day to the next, we share in this blessing knowing that life in the Spirit is our greatest asset.
Looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
Pray for our young people who are attending AFFIRM, our Synodical youth activity!
Peace in Christ, Pastor Scott

WORSHIP COORDINATORS NEEDED
We are in immediate need of worship coordinators for the 11 a.m. service on Sunday mornings. This person needs to be in the sacristy area around 30 minutes prior to the service to be sure all of the worship servants for the service arrive and are robed and prepared for the service. Once everyone is in place, the worship coordinator is done for that Sunday. If we have several worship coordinators, we can alternate months which makes it easier for all. We could also use additional 8:30 worship coordinators so they can alternate also. Please consider if this would be an easy way for you to serve here at Holy Trinity.
