Parson to Person

Pie! How I love pie! And that love is both familial and religious; pie suppers are a deep and savory part of United Methodism as I have lived it. This fall at Trinity will be a tasty time, for sure. Your Membership Team will be managing signups for the Bible Study, and your Finance Team will be offering insightful, brief presentations during worship starting in mid October. The finance campaign will conclude on All Saints Day, a day we celebrate the whole pie of believers, not just the ones currently in the room or on the earth. And it is the day when we anticipate the gathering and feast to come, the reunion to end all, and I wager there will be pie, right?

Trick or Trunk

On October 28, immediately following the 10:30 worship service, our kids will have the opportunity to enjoy the annual Trick or Trunk event in the church parking lot. But they can only enjoy it if you participate. Bring your vehicle, decorate your trunk (to whatever extent you wish) and hand out goodies to the kids. This is always a fun time for the entire Trinity family.

October Worship Services

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7TH
WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY
Hebrews 1:1-4 leads us into a celebration of Jesus’ glory and earthly impact as we gather with Christians the world over for Holy Communion. The homily today will be called “Reflected or Embossed?”.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14TH
We continue in the book of Hebrews, chapter 4, vs. 12-16, a faith-shaping text about our deeply empathetic Lord. The sermon will be entitled “A Sympathetic Savior”.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21ST
We return today to the gospel of Mark, chapter 10, vs. 35-45, where we encounter a rather famous story of some ambitious disciples whose zeal is bigger than their ability! It is a good story to hear every so often, as we focus our own spirations and ministry. The sermon this morning will be “Be Careful What You Pray For”. We also will begin our annual Stewardship campaign today.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28TH
One more visit to the grand book of Hebrews, chapter 7, vs. 23-28, which details the rather impressive resume that Jesus brings to the table of our lives. The sermon today is called “Appointed to Perfection”. We will also doubtless spend a bit of time with the thoughts of Martin Luther on this Reformation Sunday, continue our financial reflections, and enjoy the annual Trick or Trunk event following the 10:30 service. Costumes are welcome today!
