Bulletin Announcements

January 6, 2008 through January 12, 2008

We welcome all this morning. Welcome home to Trinity First.
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord!"

Prepare for worship next Sunday by reading:     Isaiah 42:1-9     Romans 6:1-11     Matthew 3:13-17

Thank You to Pastor Brutlag for leading our worship today.

The Office will be Closed for the most part until school resumes, January 7.

The Power of the Word

• Do you still desire the free gift of an "mp3 New Testament"? Speak with Pastor Jacob to learn more about this Bible Listening Program.

• We'll receive a free-will offering for Faith Comes By Hearing Ministries on December 9th and December 16th.

• 100% of the monies given will go directly towards the cost of recording another language New Testament. It costs $25,596 to record a language, $950 for 1 book of 1 language, and therefore $475 for 1/2 book of 1 language. We can choose which foreign language edition that we'd like to sponsor - the list is posted on the bulletin board by the office.

• May God bless your listing!

• Please visit www.faithcomesbyhearing.org for more info.

I have received a "Divine Call" thru LCMS World Mission to serve in Uganda, East Africa as a Leadership Training Facilitator. Please lift up my family in prayer in these days as we deliberate on whether to accept the Call or return the Call. I hope to give my answer to the Mission Board in the coming weeks. -Pastor Jake

Hospitalizations, Births and Funerals ... Please phone the church office if you or someone you know is hospitalized, has given birth, or is in need of funeral arrangements. Due to privacy laws and lack of staff, hospitals and nursing homes seldom (if ever) phone the congregation or pastor when you enter the hospital.
