First Trinity E-News
In this week's first reading God uses the Gentile ruler Cyrus to accomplish divine purposes. When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus, he tells them to give the emperor what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. To gather for worship reminds us that our ultimate allegiance is to God rather than to any earthly authority. Created in the image of God, we offer our entire selves in the service of God and for the sake of the world.
Readings: Isaiah 45:1-7, Psalm 96:1-9 [10-13], 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10,Matthew 22:15-22
Readings: Isaiah 45:1-7, Psalm 96:1-9 [10-13], 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10,Matthew 22:15-22

On Friday, October 31 from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm we will be hosting a Halloweeie Roast!
This party is geared toward kids, but adults are welcome and will have plenty of fun and silliness too! Use it as a starting place, pit stop, or ending place while trick or treating, or just spend the whole night hanging out with us!
Anyone interested in contributing toward the party: we could use bags of individually wrapped candy to pass out to trick or treaters. Thanks!
This week's Bible Study, Tuesday 7 pm - Blessed are the pure in heart: for they will see God.
