Sunday July 23rd we celebrated the dedication of our new projector and screen in our worship space (sanctuary). This project has been a long time coming and took much research, due diligence, discussions, and a large financial commitment. Thank you to Larry Hemstreet, JoAnne and Brett Miller, the Board of Deacons and the congregation for your support in making this happen!
We heard the story of a young man, Eutychus, who is sitting in an open window. He dozes off during a long sermon, falls out the window and dies. But Paul is able to revive him. (Intrigued? Read Acts 20:7-12.)
We don't want people to die of boredom at Trinity Church. We want them to be excited, inspired, challenged and encouraged by the message we preach and teach! The message is the same as it was back when Paul was preaching. We believe people will be changed and can live better lives with Jesus. But HOW we "preach" that message must change if we want people to hear and understand it. Different people connect and learn in different ways. We want to offer a broader variety of worshiping styles to ensure that we reach the hearts and minds of today's society, regardless of age, cultural background, or intellectual ability.
None of us know it all when it comes to faith and God. Let's keep our hearts and minds wide open for new experiences!
God says: "I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19)
