Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost Sunday September 23, 2018

WELCOME
The Old Testament reading, Jeremiah 11:18-20, tells of the suffering of the prophet Jeremiah, who announced God’s word to Judah but was met with intense opposition and persecution.  Jeremiah continues to trust in God in the midst of his suffering.
  In the Second reading, James 3:13-4:3, 7-8a, Christians are implored to live according to the wisdom imparted by God, a wisdom which is characterized by peace, gentleness, mercy, and impartiality toward others.
  The Gospel reading, Mark 9:30-37, relates Jesus’ second passion prediction and his teaching about true greatness illustrated by embracing a child.
     May God bless our worship.
 
Saturday Worship Theme
  A worship series entitled “Jesus, Teacher of Faith” continues with this week’s 5:00 p.m. Saturday Contemporary Praise Worship Service.  The series focuses on the many ways Jesus taught his followers to live faithfully, ever trusting in God. Pastor Bruce Kaifler provides the sermon.


GROUP Youth Ministry Local Training
Coming to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church 
on Saturday, October 6, 2018
Group Youth Ministry will be hosting a Youth Ministry Training Workshop at Trinity. Join us for a half day of practical training focused on creating a youth ministry environment that naturally grows grit in teenagers and helps them tap into the “core strength” found in the heart of Jesus.
You’ll learn:
  • How to build endurance, character, confidence, and hope in teenagers.
  • How risk-taking in ministry fuels long-term impact.
  • How to inspire kids to do “more” instead of doing “for” them in ministry.
    Learn more and reserve your spot for your group at http://group.com/growinggrit
