Benefit Concert. New Members Sunday. Meet the New Bishop.

Trinity United Methodist Church
The Steeple for February 3, 2023
This Sunday

This Sunday

Sunday, February 5, 2023

Join us this Sunday for the 2nd part of the Sermon on the Mount series. In this week's passage, Jesus asks us to reflect on the power we already have. “You are salt. You are light.” Not, “Do you want to be salt, or do you want to be light?” You already are. So, given that declaration from our Lord, how will we season? What will we light up? We will be streaming online at trinitydurham.org or YouTube. The Scripture readings will be from Isaiah 58:1-9a and Matthew 5:13-20. We hope you will join us!

Ben Rosenblum Trio

Ben Rosenblum Trio

2023 Southern Tour - Sunday, February 5, 2023

Don't miss the concert happening at Trinity this Sunday at 3 pm! 

NYC-based jazz musicians Ben Rosenblum (piano/accordion), Marty Jaffe (bass), and Ben Zweig (percussion) will be the featured artists at a FREE CONCERT as part of a fundraising campaign for Open Table Ministry, an organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Durham. Mr. Rosenblum will be performing selections from his soon-to-be-released album, A Thousand Pebbles (February 10, 2023, with The Nebula Project) along with a selection of older favorites.

"The music is thoughtful. . . . Rosenblum and Lundy caress [the music] with the reverence it merits." -Bob Doerschuk, Downbeat Magazine [part of a four-star review of Mr. Rosenblum's debut album Instead]

I can safely say that you have never heard a jazz album that so successfully incorporates two diverse instruments as Ben’s soulfully expressed piano and accordion jazz." -Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion

Message from Taylor Mills

I bring you New Year greetings and blessings! I'm excited to let you know that Abingdon Press has published some of the curriculum I've written for Adult Bible Studies into a devotional book for Lent called Toward the Cross.  It's available on Amazon, Cokesbury, and wherever you buy or order your books.  My family joins me in wishing you a meaningful Lent and a glorious Easter.    

In Christ,

Taylor Mills
