• SCRIPTURE AND STEWARDSHIP

  Luke 15:10 – “Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Why does Jesus eat with sinners? Certainly not so that they will remain stuck in their sins. Jesus meets sinners where they are so they will come to know His love and repent. To repent means to turn away from sin and toward Jesus in faith. Whether the sin we struggle with is pride, greed, doubt, etc., the Lord calls us to turn to Him again in faith and away from our sin.
   
      
   

• FIRST BAND BRIGADE TO PLAY DURING WORSHIP SERVICE

  The First Brigade Band from Watertown, Wisconsin will be at Trinity on August 4th to help lead us in our worship service.  The band will be in Northfield that weekend as part of the Vintage Band Festival.  Some of the bands make themselves available to local churches, and we are blessed to have the First Brigade Band with us.  Weather permitting, the service will be outside.  Following the service, the fellowship committee will be hosting a potluck lunch and will provide the main dish and beverage.  Each family is encouraged to bring a dish, either a side, salad, or dessert to share.

  If you would like to know more about the band, you can go to their website:  https://www.1stbrigadeband.org/2017/
