An exposition of John 14:1-6. This message by Pastor Rod Harris was delivered at Trinity Baptist Church on Sunday morning, July 5, 2009.

Let me take just a moment this week to ask you to pray about a couple of things. I’ve sent information to our Nominating Committee and our Committee on Committees to begin their work for the coming church year (September 2009 - August 2010). The Nominating Committee recruits teachers and officers while the Committee on Committees fills the various committee openings. I’m asking you to pray with them as they seek God’s leadership. In addition I’m asking you to pray about where you fit in. Where are you serving? We have openings for teaching positions and some crucial areas of service. We also have key committee positions to fill. Would you like to serve? We will find a place for you to serve. The fact is you have been blessed and gifted by God to serve and we need you. We are not interested in “sticking” you somewhere. We want you to serve where God has called you. We want you to know the joy of being where God wants you to be doing what He has gifted you to do.

The second thing I would like for you to pray about is our structure. We continue to struggle with our Sunday School. We’ve experienced a major drop in attendance and interest. In addition we’ve not had anyone to serve as Sunday School Director for a couple of years now. Is it time to rethink and possibly retool our small group Bible study? Do we need to change our approach? Is it time to look at what is offered and when it is offered? These are important questions and questions worth exploring. Join with me in praying for God’s leadership and wisdom in address this critical need in our fellowship.

In the meantime I look forward to seeing you this coming Lord’s Day as we gather to worship and celebrate our life together in Christ.

An exposition of Ephesians 2:11-22. This message by Pastor Rod Harris was delivered at Trinity Baptist Church on Sunday morning, July 12, 2009.

I just want to remind you that we will be observing the Lord’s Table this Sunday, July 26, during morning worship. While we do not believe that saving grace is received through the elements it would be wrong to consider the Supper a “mere” symbol. It is a wonderful, unique and holy time when the church gathers around the table. In addition when we celebrate the table the whole service revolves around it. I trust you will be present as we together declare God’s glory through the bread and the cup.

In addition let me remind you that the youth will be leaving for camp Monday morning. That means we need you to have your food here by Sunday evening! We appreciate all of you who signed up and gave money to help feed our crew all week. You generosity helps us keep the cost down and enables more of our youth to attend camp.

Please continue to pray for our nominating committee and our committee on committees as they do their work for the coming year. I look forward to seeing you and your family as we gather for worship and celebration this coming Lord’s Day.
