Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3

There will be no class this Thursday, April 17th. Have a blessed time with family and friends remembering and celebrating the sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV)

Come participate in the National Day of Prayer Gathering on Thursday, May 1st on the front lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol (known as the Minnesota State Capitol Mall) from 11:30 AM to 1:15 PM!

Thanks for Trinity Care Ministry!

Thank you for coming and sharing the joy of the LORD and the love of Jesus with the residents at Trinity Care Center! Thanks also to everyone who covered us in prayer, plus Brian who ran sound and videotaped! The residents were greatly blessed, and some even had tears in their eyes. A worker said one resident usually doesn’t stay at these events, but she did on Saturday despite difficulty seeing and hearing!  She only communicated nonverbally, but her expressive eyes showed how impacted she was. Hallelujah! We were able to tell our God stories, as well as share and pray with the residents.

Thank you, King Jesus, our gracious Redeemer, for bringing everyone and everything together. To You be all the glory, honor, and praise!!

Heb 1:1-3 NASB (Italics,bold mine)

Thanks To All Who Participated in Holy Evening!

What a privilege to spend time in the precious presence of our Holy God last week in worship!! In 1 Peter 2:9 we are described as “a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”  Remember that you, a chosen child of God, have been Set Apart to bring our Holy King Glory and Honor! Praise His Name forever!!

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

IMPORTANT: Please RSVP by Wednesday, November 6th, if you are planning on coming to the Holy Evening event at Lighthouse Christian Church on Thursday, November 7th so we have enough fun surprises!
