In 490 BC a Greek soldier ran twenty-five miles from Marathon to Athens to tell his people that the Persians had been miraculously defeated. Upon telling the good news, he collapsed and died. The Greeks then established the marathon in his honor, an event celebrated to this day.

In 2010 we’ll be emphasizing “Reaching People with Good News.”

We have good news to tell! Satan is defeated. Christ is triumphant. He has crucified Satan’s greatest weapons: sin, our sinful nature, death, hell, depression, inadequacy. He has been raised to give us love, joy, peace and eternal life. Give your life to him, ask him to come in to your life and ask him to live through you. Then believe that he is. Immerse yourself in the things of God such as church, Sunday School, daily Bible study, prayer and ministering to others. Also, reach people with the good news. The early church was filled with the Spirit so that the people would reach others with the good news (Acts 1:8). When we share his good news, he fills us with his presence. When we refuse to share his good news, we stifle the Spirit.

Let us help you reach people with the good news. You can sign up for a new FAITH semester. We’ll have a training session August 24, at 7:00 for anyone who’s done FAITH. Then everyone’s invited August 31, for twelve Tuesdays of meals at 6:00, training at 6:30 and visitation in groups of three at 7:30. Then there’s celebration from 8:30 till 9:00. Try it, you’ll like it! If you’re a veteran, please join us again as we do something that’s close to the heart of God. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10). Your participation will help equip and inspire others.

Even if you don’t participate in FAITH, you can still tell others how you came to know Jesus and what he means to you today. You can share Romans 3:23; 6:23 and John 1:12, telling people that we’re all sinners, and that sin leads to death but that the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, and that if we receive him we’ll be children of God forever. Then you can lead them in a prayer to receive Christ. All Christians are responsible to reach people with good news.

As a church we need to constantly evaluate ourselves to see if we’re doing all we can through the leadership of the Holy Spirit to reach people with good news. Like missionaries, we need to be flexible enough to reach people where they are, both physically and psychologically (1 Corinthians 9:22-23). That’s what Jesus meant when he called his disciples to be fishers of men. This should be one of our driving passions. Telling people the good news is worthy of a person’s life!

With love in Christ,

Dr. Jim Meek

JULY 28: "JUDGMENT DAY"

Wednesdays, 6:45 p.m.

Worship Center

Everyone is invited

Do you know faces but not names? Well, we can fix that. Trinity has scheduled to take photographs for a pictorial directory on August 10-11 and
September 20-23. Let us help you put a name with that face you see every Sunday.

What is a "pictorial directory", you ask? It is like a church yearbook. Olan Mills will take several pictures of your family and you then select one for the directory. If you want to order extra prints you may, but you will receive a free 8 X 10 photo of your family and a directory even if you order nothing else. No pressure!

Circle these dates on your calendar and plan to help us make this directory very special.

"Operation:S.A.M." is a non-profit organization that sends packages to our troops to show our support to those deployed all over the world, especially those deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We are led by a group of dedicated volunteers and their families. We all have a mutual bond of respect and appreciation for the men and women who are unselfishly placing themselves in harm's way. Don’t forget our troops.

You can support Operation Sam by dropping off items they need. We have a box in the foyer of building B. For a complete list of items, contact the church office or go to www.operationsam.org and click on the link “How you can help”.

In Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV), the Apostle Paul tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

If you have a need in your life that you would like us to pray with you about, please contact our Heart to Heart Women’s Ministries Confidential Prayer Chain at Prayerwarriors1@aol.com.
