He Is Risen!  Alleluia!   Fourth Sunday of Easter

This Saturday the amazing Pastor Liz Munoz is coming to First Trinity to do a Godly Play training for us! If you haven't heard of Godly Play it's a wonderful program that has gained a lot of popularity recently and is a whole new way to engage kids. It's a fun and interactive teaching method that will be a great asset for First Trinity as we move forward in developing a youth program! If you have not signed up but are interested, contact Katie right away!

This Sunday The image of the Good Shepherd shows us how the risen Christ brings us to life. It is the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep, one of mutual knowledge and love, that gives the shepherd authority. The shepherd's willingness to lay down his life for the sheep shows his love. First John illustrates what it means to lay down our lives for one another by the example of sharing our wealth with a ny sister or brother in need. Readings Acts 4:5-12, Psalm 23, 1 John 3:16-24, John 10:11-18 Other News First Trinity Celebrates - Christine, Katie and Bob! What a year it's been for Christine Doidge and Katie Jacob at First Lutheran Church of The Trinity!
