Deeper
"
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves..." Ephesians 3:17-19
We are just a few days away from the beginning of a new year. As we enter 2018, the leadership of Trinity has identified "Deeper" as our annual churchwide focus. We pray this will be a year in which we will all go deeper in our faith and commitment to Christ and also deeper in our relationships with one another. We encourage every person who calls Trinity home to consider how you will enter into this focus for the coming year. What will your next step be to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ?
To help set the stage for the year ahead, we will join together in the Wesley Covenant Renewal Service at all three worship times this Sunday, December 31. This will be a family worship service (
no children's Sunday school; childcare will be provided for 0 - preK).
We look forward to seeing you there.
