Join Trinity for worship this 1st Sunday in Lent.  Reverend Nguyen will begin her sermon series The Power of Sacrifice.  The theme is "The heart of Jesus’ gospel is to continue expanding our perspective and changing our direction."  Come and be blessed!

Jesus’ final days were full of risk. Every move he made was filled with anticipation, danger, and the potential for great loss or great reward.

Jesus risked his reputation when he entered Jerusalem in a victory parade. He risked his life when he dared to teach in the Temple. His followers risked everything when they left behind their homes, or anointed him with costly perfume. We take risks as we read and re-read these stories, finding new meanings and new challenges.

In Entering the Passion of Jesus: A Beginner’s Guide to Holy Week, author, professor, and biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine explores the biblical texts surrounding the Passion story. She shows us how the text raises ethical and spiritual questions for the reader, and how we all face risk in our Christian experience.

Join Pastor Tobi at the parsonage on Mondays at 6:30pm as we reflect on the last week of Jesus’ life and journey together through Lent.

Hello everyone. Its time for CROP WALK 2024. The actual date of the walk is March 24^th (Palm Sunday).

Just like last year we are having a friendly competition. We are going to stir those feelings of School Pride. If you remember last year each of you chose one of 4 School teams to represent.

And as you may remember Duke came out on top last year with the most donations. Well, it is time for UNC, State and Central to turn the tables!!

The crop walk collection folders are in the Narthex-along with other information you may find interesting. Please stop by and grab one.

Ask Everyone you know to donate to this incredible cause and turn in your collections to Angela. Make sure to include which team you are representing!!

Last year we raised $1400 and some change. This year’s goal is $2000.

If you would like to walk, please sign up in the Narthex and let me know your shirt size so I can place the orders.

Also look out for our bake sales on March 3rd and 10^th. The Trintiy Warrior Women have graciously agreed to bake sweet treats to benefit the crop walk. All proceeds will be evenly distributed among the teams.

Lastly if you have another college team you would like to represent let me know and I will add them to the mix. No such thing as too much competition!!

Roots, an Israeli-Palestinian grassroots initiative for understanding, nonviolence and transformation based in Judea and Samaria/the West Bank, is a unique network of Palestinians and Israelis who have come to see each other as the partners they both need to make changes to end our conflict.

At this event, our speaking team -- a Palestinian and an Israeli -- will share the groundbreaking Roots message as well as their personal stories of transformation.

Give if you can and call if you need.

You are invited! Except for July, DCIA gathers together on 3rd Tuesdays at 11:45am. Our next assembly is in February at Watts St. Baptist Church, where we will learn together about the Durham County foster care system, hear from CROP Walk, and have space for community sharing.
