Worship is at 10:00 AM at the Phi Delta Kappa Banquet Hall located at 11311 Phi Delt Way, Odessa, 33556. A Special Voter’s Meeting will follow worship. The council is asking the voters to approve an increase in the loan amount that was approved last month. This is the result of building cost increases over the last two months.

LEADING US BACK TO GOD’S ARMS
Wednesdays in April & May | 6:30 PM
This Wednesday: Christ, My Good Shepherd (Psalm 23), Christ my Light and Salvation (Psalm 27). It is easy to identify with the range of emotions covered in the psalms: frustration and worry, thanksgiving and worship, begging for help or crying out for forgiveness, wondering at God’s Word and His wisdom, anger at God’s enemies, or sheer, jubilant praise. The Psalms lead us from our human experiences and struggles to God’s arms. Our study over the next two months will focus on psalms that reflect this wide range of emotions. Join us online each Wednesday evening in April and May. We meet from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM online.
PEOPLE CLOSE TO GOD
Monday, April 19 | 7:00 PM
Do you know someone who does not have a church home, someone who has questions about God and the Bible, someone you know and care about you could invite to hear more about God’s grace and salvation in Jesus Christ?
Help them find answers in our class called People Close to God. People Close to God is our church Membership Class. Here they can ask questions about the Bible and what our church teaches and you can brush up on the basics of the Christian faith. There is no obligation to join after completing class. Attendees will learn how to apply the Bible to their life. Pastor Schwartz will provide all the materials, just bring your questions! We will gather in-person at the Longleaf office or join us online Monday, April 19th at 7:00 pm. Look for the link at peacelutherantrinity.com/upcoming-events/
