WE WORSHIP TOGETHER
Worship Times: Saturday at 5:30pm and Sunday at 10:30 am This Week’s Bible Readings: Genesis 15:1-6, Psalm 119:9-16, Luke 12:32-40 This Weekend: “The Lord’s Covenant” Join us this weekend for worship as we continue exploring our story in God's story during worship at Trinity. This week, God promises Abram descendants. I wonder if the church might be like Abram, old and childless, and if so, what does God promise the church for the future? What is our job in joining together with God to create this future?
