Pastors Letter (Page 13)

Dear Friends, I’ve enjoyed getting back into Genesis over the past couple of weeks and I’m looking forward to a second week of thinking about the story of Jacob this coming Sunday. We were chatting about Jacob in bible study this week and thinking…. “geez this guy doesn’t come off very well does he?”. As you think about it, while Jacob…

Hello church, I’ve got three things to let you know about this week: 1 – Let’s have lunch together! Please plan to stick around after church on Sunday August 14 for a relaxed church family lunch. Details to follow, but we’ll make sure it’s low cost and kid friendly (complete with a kids’ DVD). To assist us in our planning, please email brighton@trinity.church to let us…

Hello church, We’ve just finished a wonderful journey through the book of Ephesians and I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have. God has shown us his very big plans and the remarkable privilege it is for us to be included in those plans. I was struck again and again how many times we’re told that this is all in Christ. It’s all centred on Jesus and who he is.…

G’day, Mid-year holidays are a good chance to check in on where we’re headed as a church for the second half of the year. This Sunday we’re doing things a little different at church as we wrap up our time in the book of Ephesians. Instead of a sermon on a particular passage, we’ll be reading excerpts from across the book and spending more time singing and praying, with a…

Dear Friends, How’s your week been? In the Winter household we’ve been stuck at home this week with COVID. Annika tested positive on Saturday, and the rest of us were positive by Tuesday. We’ve got lots to be thankful for though – so far we’ve all had quite mild cases, and we’re making the most of hunkering down at home by watching…

G’day friends, As we make our way through this year as a church I’m really thankful we can do that together. Church is a team sport with eternity in the balance, so I count it such a great privilege to be doing it with you! God has been kind to challenge us to consider how we might partner together financially for the sake of the gospel. So far we’ve had 27…

Dear Friends, In Ephesians 3:10 God gives such a surprising explanation of what his purpose for church is: “His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms…” I think that’s amazing: That God’s purpose in bringing us into his family, gathering us together as…

Dear Friends, I hope you’ve had a great week so far. I know lots of you have heard that the Winters have had quite a bad run of sickness lately. Thanks for all those who’ve messaged and been praying for us – you’ll be glad to know that we’re all feeling a bit healthier again this week which has been a great relief! I’ve had to miss two…
