On Sunday, thanks to the generosity of some members of Trinity UMC, we handed out over 250 New Testament Bibles to folks in worship at Trinity. It is part of our challenge to live into our membership vows of prayers, PRESENCE, gifts, service, witness. During worship we made a commitment to be present with God by being more intentional about reading and studying scripture, and attending worship over the next year.I invited the congregation to read one chapter a day over the next month from the Gospel of Matthew. Each evening as part of this challenge I am posting reflections on the chapter of the day on our Trinity UMC Waverly facebook page. If you're interested in joining us please like our facebook page by clicking here and if you live in the Waverly/Bremer County area, you are invited to stop by the church to pick up a free New Testament for you and yours!
If you live out of town, why not LIKE Trinity Waverly's facebook page too - you may read along with us electronically by visiting biblegateway.com (we are reading from the Common English Bible). It is my prayer that you will be blessed by reading and studying God's Word along with us!
Kristin will be leading a 'Bible 101' course starting Sunday, October 28th, and if you're available Wednesdays at noon, there is a small group that gathers to read and reflect on the scripture lessons for the coming Sunday's worship services. All are welcome to attend!I am really excited about this opportunity to dive deeper into God's Word with our faith community. What a wonderful way to grow as a church family!
In Christ, together,
Deborah
