A former member of Congress was in the news this week for talking about how close we are to the second coming of Christ and the end of the world, and that news stories every day just make this more and more clear.   All the signs are there, she suggested.   This week's Gospel reading (Mark 13:1-8) shows us how Jesus dealt with the sense that the "end might be near", which is heightened during periods of social anxiety.  Jesus suggests that we should not be alarmed by the world's troubles, nor should we consider them to be signs of anything in particular.  We'll explore that together this Sunday.

The 2015 Stewardship Campaign has begun, as we seek to raise pledges to support our ministry in 2016.  The theme for this year's campaign is, "To love and serve with gladness and singleness of heart."    We invite you to prayerfully consider how you want to partner with Trinity in 2016 financially and in other ways, as well.  Please visit the stewardship page on our website and view the short video presentation.  You may also fill out your pledge card online by clicking HERE, or if you would like to fill out a paper pledge card and didn't receive one in the mail (or have perhaps mislaid it), blank cards will be available at the back of the church.

Thank you for your support of Trinity, and for being a part of this community.
