Bulletin for Sunday, July 28: 10th Sunday After Pentecost
For anyone unable to attend in person, the worship service, led by Kathy Long, SALM, is live streamed at 9:30 a.m. Sunday on Trinity's Facebook page. The bulletin can be downloaded here, and a children's bulletin is available here.

Trust God in the Darkness
Every follower of Jesus faces days where his or her spiritual life seems mediocre and their enthusiasm is dampened by indifference.

If this is you, then you need a fresh experience with God to drive the darkness from your life. No matter how your feelings and emotions change, God's love for you remains steadfast, strong, and secure. He loves you with an everlasting, unceaasing love, and even though you feel far from Him, He is always close to you.

One of the benefits of going through dark times in life is to appreciate the light and sunshine of God's love when we experience it once again. God is able to use even the darkest experience on your earthly pilgrimage to the benefit and blessing of others.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
