Your Seminar Feedback
The evaluations from the March 3rd seminar show that we're off to a strong start, but need to slow down and tweak our format.
- 87% of participants said this program can help them achieve their spiritual goals
- 93% agreed that it could help them achieve their wellness goals
- 79% intend to use their Action Plan daily or many times a day
- 96% intend to discuss their progress with a wellness partner at least once a week
Based on your suggestions, we'll take more time to work with Action Plans, the Satisfaction Skills and forgiveness, before introducing new topics on March 31st.
If you missed March 3rd, please register for March 31st: .

Do You Have
Spiritual Stress?
Pastor Larry discussed three signs of spiritual stress at Saturday's seminar:
- No sense of God working in your life, just the daily grind
- See God's anger in the Cross, not His Love
- No sense of God's purpose
Keep track of what causes your spiritual stress to get worse or better. Include these observations in your journal, blog and/or discussions with friends, family and our pastors. |

Dear Friend,
Love Never Fails will show you how to love God and others more deeply by reflecting on the wisdom of the Scriptures and reducing the stress in your life.
This free four-week program, which you can do in the privacy of your own home, builds on the content of Trinity's March 3rd and 31st seminar. But you do not have to attend either session to benefit. Just watch the videos, try the relaxation exercises and read the free booklet and stories.
In 2006, Jim and Phyllis Lange described how the Satisfaction Skills had strengthened a love that lasted over 60 years.
