News & Announcements

9.25.2020

This Sunday: “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10). This Sunday Jesus teaches us about two different reactions people have to his authority. Some will repent and turn to him in faith and some will reject Jesus’ authority. Join us as we worship Jesus this Sunday and are strengthened in our faith in him.

We have returned to in-person worship at Trinity Elementary School: 2209 Duck Slough Blvd, Trinity, 34655. Join us for worship at 10:00 AM. Bible Study and Children’s Sunday School will be offered at 11:00 AM.

On Sunday morning you can find a pre-recorded service HERE.

On Sunday morning you can worship with us on Facebook Live.

Reminder: Face Coverings are required during worship (with the exception of ages two and under).

Our current guidelines for gathering are still in place for public worship:

• Hand sanitizing stations will be provided
• Current Pasco County Guidelines require face coverings during worship. Masks are available at worship if you do not have a mask.
• Our worship team will help to arrange seating to promote social distancing. The Cafetorium at Trinity Elementary School allows for plenty of space to social distance.

Building Project Update: As of the writing of this update, we are still awaiting word on decisions made this week regarding our loan request. The little bit of news we have received to this point is very positive. Continue to pray that God’s will is done and God is glorified in all we do.

Call Received: “All over the world the gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God’s grace in all its truth” (Colossians 1:6). What joy is ours to be united in the fellowship of the gospel which is at work among us, and believers around the world. This past Sunday I received a call to serve as pastor to the believers of Messiah Lutheran Church in Nampa, ID. Messiah is a church of approximately 250 souls.

I humbly ask for your prayers and your counsel as I consider where I might best serve our Savior Jesus, his church, and those who do not know the gospel. I will be talking with the leaders and members of Messiah Lutheran to learn more about gospel ministry in their community. I will also discuss the call and ministry of Peace Lutheran in Trinity, FL with the leaders and members of Peace.

God has placed these two opportunities before me. I am comforted to know that there is not a right or a wrong decision in considering these two ministry opportunities. God will bless his kingdom through these deliberations and the resulting decision that is made.

In His Service,
Pastor Schwartz

Building Project Update and Prayer Request:
Please be in earnest prayer for the members of the Church Extension Fund (CEF) who meet September 14 and 15 to decide this request for funding.

A Prayer for the Building Project:
Dear Father in Heaven, you have declared that it is good and right to meet together as a church family. Please bless this process so that if it be your will, CEF will decide to provide the funds needed to proceed. All we do is for your glory, Father. May we be at peace with the outcome, knowing that it is for our benefit. In Jesus name we pray. A-Men (Prayer Submitted by Brad Mattes)
