Presenting my paper at the
Stone-Campbell Journal Conference
Welcome!
A warm word of welcome to this website! I trust you will not only come to know me better, but will find the visit enriching and helpful for yourself.
The goal in my teaching ministry and as a pastor-scholar is that the congregation and students would study the Bible in both a devotional and scholarly manner.
In addition, I agree with Alexander Campbell, the founder of the movement of churches which I serve as a pastor, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), as he wrote,
"I have no idea of adding to the catalogue of new sects. I labor to see sectarianism abolished and all Christians of every name united upon the one foundation upon which the apostolic church was founded."

Resurrection Worship, April 4
Sunday at 10:30am
Facebook Live worship online
tune in around 11:00am, Sunday
Dear Trinity family and friends,
Did you know that more people search online for churches at Easter and Christmas than any other time of the year? Easter is this Sunday, April 4 -- a perfect time to invite someone to join you at church. They might just say YES!
Easter defies all understanding! Even the first followers of Jesus could not comprehend how it could happen. Mark's Gospel gives us the empty tomb. Matthew raises the issue of bribery and false testimony on the part of the religious leaders. Luke describes the doubts of the disciples.
In John's Gospel, the resurrection is a matter of a personal encounter with Jesus. Grief-stricken at finding no body, Mary Magdalene confronts a gardener,
"If you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him.”
Overcome by grief, she does not recognize Jesus, until he simply calls her name,
"Mary!"
Do you hear Jesus calling your name today?
In response to the Risen Lord, Mary wants to hug him, but Jesus bids her,
"do not hold on to me!"
Perhaps, this had to do with the nature of his resurrected body; but, there may be a deeper truth. Perhaps, Jesus is saying to her and us,
"From now on, you can see me everywhere. My spirit will be present whenever people seek healing and truth in My Name!"
When Jesus calls our name, we are born again. We come to life and we follow him day by day.
Where is the resurrection in your life? Where are you hearing Jesus call you by name? Let the surprising resurrection power of Jesus burst forth in your life today!
Here’s what’s happening this week at Trinity…
1. Good Friday, 6PM
2. Lenten Soup Sale
3. Men's Breakfast, Saturday, 9am-12noon
4. This week in worship

Our scriptures during this Lenten season have been in the Gospel of Mark. On Sunday, the reading ends in Mark 16 with verse 8..."and they left afraid..."
It is the only Gospel that ends this way..."and they left afraid..."
My message this weekend is titled, "From Fear to Hope!" I invite you to join us on Easter morning as we will be challenged to face our fears. I will also have a Resurrection Action Plan that you can implement to deal with fear in life. Be with us as we move forward in life, not backward into fear. To prepare read Mark 16:1-8 for the worship on Sunday.
I’m grateful and proud of you, Trinity.
I look forward to “seeing” you in worship this resurrection weekend!
