Holy Trinity’s annual meeting will be Sunday, January 26 at 11:30 am, immediately following the 10:30 worship service.  Copies of the 2019 annual report will be available for your review prior to the meeting.

On Tuesday, January 28 at 10:00 am in the church library we begin a four-part study, “We Are Called”, in which we learn more about how our ancestors-in-faith heard and responded to God’s call.  It will help us understand that God calls all of us, not just a few select individuals, and reflect on how we respond. The first session, “Hearing God’s Voice”, focuses on the calls of several Old Testament prophets. You are invited to join us.

We are new creatures in Christ, the Apostle Paul declares (2 Corinthians 5:17)!  As such, we no longer view ourselves or others the way we once did.  We have a new role; we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us (2 Corinthians 5:20).  And those to whom God appeals are the lost for whom Christ has died.  What a sober responsibility we have!  As stewards of the Gospel that we spread not just with our mouths, but with our actions as well, let us implore God to enable us to be His light in this dark world.   For more information on stewardship, please contact Max Buban.

Holy Trinity has been approached by Powell United Methodist Church (Katya Brodbeck is pastor) to consider joining together to form a Young Adult ministry group.  If you’re interested in participating or would like to find out more, please signup at the Collection & Signup Corner.  Contact Josh Brodbeck or David Kline with questions.

Anyone interested in carpooling to Andrew Potsko’s ordination in Canton on Sunday, January 26 is invited to signup at the Collection & Signup Corner in the Gathering Place.  Holy Trinity is considering renting a van if enough interest warrants it.

From the staff at Holy Trinity, thank you for the generous gifts you gave to us at Christmas.  It’s our privilege being partners with you in ministry and we look forward to continuing our service together in 2020!

The old year is past, gone forever.  No one can go back in time.  No one can do what he/she should have done or undo what he/she shouldn’t have done.  All of us have regrets, and the Apostle Paul was no exception.  He offers us a new perspective, though.  He writes, Forgetting what is behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  Then he adds his counsel:  All of us who are mature should take such a view of things (Philippians 3:13b-15).   For more information on stewardship, please contact Max Buban.
