 “Pastor, could there be a class or something about faith?”

“Pastor, what if I don’t know enough to come to a class?”

“Pastor, could we have something that starts at the beginning?

“Pastor, I’ve been to every study we’ve ever had. Is there something new?”

“You know what, Pastor? I’m learning right along with the confirmands,

 and its really fun to know all this stuff.”

 God Conversations for a New Year:

Making Sense of the Christian Faith

Sundays, 11:00-12:00, Church Library

Starting this Sunday

David J. Lose, author of Making Sense of the Christian Faith, says, “If you believe, with me, that the Christian life should take seriously both our heads and our hearts, our doubts and our faith, and involves as many questions as it does answers, then I invite you to read and explore the heart of the Christian faith.”    

Copies of the book we’ll use are available in the church office. If you plan to join us, you will find it very helpful to have read the Introduction and first chapter of the book. But even if you haven’t gotten your book ahead of time, come anyway!

Way to Go! As a team we finished 31 fleece baby blankets in addition to the seven crochet blankets for a grand total of 38.  All to be donated to the Merillac House Project Hope.  See the attached photos of the finished blankets.  Project Hope is a program for pregnant and parenting teens.   For more information  www.marillachouse.org What a wonderful evening it was making these baby blankets at Holy Trinity Church.  Blessings to you for helping the babies stay warm in the coldest month of the year! 
Thanks again for all for your help.
