How is God working in your life?

Mid- Week services begin this Wednesday, February 21st

 7 PM at Holy Trinity

 

Our theme is “Thy Will Be Done.” “Not as I will, but as you will,”

Jesus prayed to his Father the night before he went to the cross for our

salvation. And that is our prayer as well this Lent as we seek to do

God’s will in our lives, as we draw near to the observance of Christ’s

suffering, death and resurrection during Holy Week. Written by Rev.

Justin Rossow, each service in the series focuses on a different aspect

of God’s will at work among us. Biblical characters are used as

insightful reference points each week to guide us in following our Lord

more nearly day by day.

In this service for Week 1 of Lent, we remember that, at first, Moses

did not think he could free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But

God gave him confidence to set his people free. In Lent we remember

that God sent his Son to do his will and set all people free from the

slavery of sin.

Sam Pasco has kindly agreed to help choir prepare a song for Easter. We will meet him around noon after services at Hope on 2/11, 3/11, and 3/25, with another practice to be announced later. Thank you Sam!

Our next scheduled dinner for Crossroads is Tuesday, February 27th. Please continue to pray that Crossroads will have a home after this upcoming June. We take dinner to Crossroads in Beaver Falls the fourth Tuesday of every month for the homeless men who sleep there.

Holy Trinity has a Prayer Chain. If you would like us to pray for you or for someone else you can leave a message for us at 724-774-1413 and we will have someone call you.

Our Lenten worship begins on Ash Wednesday 7:00 p.m. with the imposition of Ashes.

Mutual Ministry Committee

This group has just been formed with members from both congregations.  Our main purpose:

1. Assure open communication between the two congregations.
2. Provide a way for all members of our congregations, including the Pastor, to voice concerns or ideas which will help our joint parish become even stronger and more fulfilling for all.

The committee will assure such suggestions/concerns are directed to the Pastor and/or Joint Council.

Please contact one of our committee members.
