We invite you to enter God’s Sanctuary with joy and anticipation. When you have taken your seat, greet those around you in Christian fellowship. When the Prelude begins, spend a few moments in quiet reflection, preparing your heart for worship. ALTAR FLOWERS are given to the glory of God by Layne Fagnani. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP As we go into the third week of our stewardship program, Found Faithful, we will be talking about how to be faithful with much. This is a reminder for us to examine everything we have today. After all, aren’t our money, possessions and home gifts from God, to be used wisely, shared openly and given generously? It wouldn’t take much to move Holy Trinity forward, if we all have God’s ministry as our priority. With our gifts we can all be faithful in much together.
