Dear Trinity family,
I hope and pray that your Easter Sunday was a blessed one. Even though she's still feeling the side effects of her treatment, Bree's starting to gain some strength the further and further we get into this new medication and the further and further we get from her stay in the hospital. For this I praise God.
The Sunday after Easter can sometimes feel like a little bit of a let down. It's a back-to-normal Sunday. Family who came into town has gone home. We just kind of return to our typical activities, but remember that for the disciples, the weeks after Jesus' resurrection were anything but normal, unless you want to think of it as a completely NEW normal because the fact is nothing was ever going to be the same again.
That should be every day of every week for us. Not that we need to work to maintain the same celebratory enthusiasm morning to night, but Jesus is just as risen today as He was four days ago. We have just as much peace with God, just as much hope for the future, just as much of an ability to enter the throne room of grace with confidence that He hears us when we pray.
Consequently, our labor continues. We press on to follow God's call on our lives. My desire remains that the Lord will use TBC to expand the footprint of His Kingdom in our area. It's in that spirit that I point out what's happening over the next few months here at the church. These aren't simply calendar reminders, but rather, opportunities to grow in our love for the Lord, for each other, and for those who need to know Christ.
Remember that for the Lord's Supper/Potluck, you'll need to bring something, whether it's a main dish or a side. We'll leave desserts up to whomever God puts it on their hearts.
God bless and we'll see you this Sunday when we'll be in 1 Peter 3:8-12.
In Christ
Pastor Brad
