EARLY RISERS meet every Tuesday, at 6:30 a.m. We are currently reading and discussing the prophet, Isaiah. You are welcome to join us for God’s Word, coffee and doughnuts either regularly or occasionally. There is no charge.
LifeLight Bible Study will begin tomorrow, February 6, at 6:30 p.m. and repeats on Tuesday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m. We will study of the book of John, Part one. Dr. Luther wrote this about the book of John: “Therefore the evangelist [John] is a master above all the other evangelists, for he treats of this doctrine of Christ’s divinity and His humanity persistently and diligently. He joins these two natures together. When Christ becomes man, He speaks to us, performs miracles, and dies according to His humanity. And then His divinity is also established with plain words.” For information and study materials, contact Mike or Janette Lang.
Naomi Circle will meet this Wednesday, February 8 at 1:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall for Bible Study and fellowship. Our topic will be “ More Precious than Silver” This study is found on page 20 of the Winter 2016 Quarterly. Please join us for Bible study and fellowship .
Valentine Dinner: Trinity youth will be hosting a Valentine Dinner on Saturday, February 11, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall in Creston. Lasagna will be the main entrée. Cost is $15.00 per person. This is a fundraiser for the youth group. A sign up sheet is on the table in the narthex.
