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."

Dear Trinity family and friends,
In a year when COVID-19 has been synonymous with cancellations, quarantines and social distancing, staying connected at Trinity has become more important than ever. With the aid of Zoom technology and lots of creativity, we have navigated and tried to keep you engaged with the congregation and our unique activities, ranging from prayer services in the evening to Bible studies and more. We had to pivot and work in new ways to stay connected.
Our giving app--click here Givelify
has kept us on track with our offerings. Look it up and use it.
As the pandemic has progressed, we have a long-term strategy--to help you receive resources and messages from the church, maneuvering through this strange year. I pray if you are not in-person, that you utilize the Facebook live option. Many of you have responded with gratitude for these resources and thanked us for the opportunity to connect.
So, join us as we share in the joy of the Lord and grow our community of faith in Christ.
Because now, we need each other more than ever!
Here's what's happening this week at Trinity...
1. MONDAY—THY WILL BE DONE
Join us Monday evenings, at 7pm, on Zoom, for a Women’s Bible Study.
When God's will and your desires collide, what do you do? Jonah tried to dodge God's will, while Habakkuk questioned it. This study of Jonah and Habakkuk provides insights into how God's people might respond to a plan they don't like. You'll learn what pitfalls to avoid and attitudes to choose when God's plans don't line up with yours.
If you are interested in joining us, contact Missi Anderson at 412-313-3482
or <mailto:
skorpio1572@yahoo.com>
The book “Thy Will Be Done”, RBP Women’s Bible Studies (Stock No:WW407449), by Dorothy Davis, is needed for the study and can be ordered through Christianbooks.com
for $7.99.
2. Resilient for the Youth, every Thursday at 4:30PM
Feel like your children are missing some balance in their lives? Today’s youth have really lost a lot with our ever changing environment when it comes to the effects COVID has had on us socially. Our children have had to adapt to doing so much on zoom already, here is an opportunity to add some fun to their weekly zoom routine while teaching them about God’s love. TUCC began offering something for the kids. “Resilient!” Resilient is a continuation of the Children’s message that children see in church or watch on the YouTube replay on Sundays. Join us, virtually, every Thursday, at 4:30pm, for Resilient!
Activity sheets are passed out at church or can be mailed to your children that reinforce this message. Then, during Resilient, they will watch a cartoon geared toward the same message followed by some questions to help them understand what that lesson means to them. They will also have opportunities to fellowship with their peers.
Please contact Mrs. Missi Anderson for an emailed invitation to the Resilient zoom meeting.

3. This week in worship
Embrace the Spirit on this
Pentecost weekend!
“After the Holy Spirit is come upon you...”
Acts 1:8
You’ve seen it before...an old house that goes through an extreme makeover--
It's a like a brand new home!
The attraction is the compelling contrast between life before and life after.
Consider, then, the contrast between the Christian life before and the Christian life after the the Holy Spirit comes upon you!
After for Christians:
•receive power, be witnesses (Acts 1:8)
•magnify God (Acts 10:46)
•live according to the Spirit (Rom. 8:5)
•put to death the deeds of the body (Rom. 8:13)
•receive gifts of the Spirit (I Cor. 12:4)
•walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16)
•be led by the Spirit (Gal. 5:18)
This is the Promise. The Gift is the Holy Spirit.
Read John 15:26-27; 16:13-16 to prepare for worship.
See you this weekend!
