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!

This Sunday is New Members' Sunday. 

We will have a special time at the end of the service to welcome new members to our congregation. You don't want to miss this opportunity to welcome them to Trinity!

We will have more opportunities in the future to join, so if you'd still like to pursue membership, please email the church office to set up a meeting with Pastor Tobi.

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

The next Allred/Shoaf Christ Care meeting will be held Monday, Feb. 6th @ 9:30 am in the Parlor.

We will be starting the first lesson from our new study, Jacob & the Prodigal. 

We hope to see you there!

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,
