Greetings in the Most Holy Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I want to thank you for taking a few minutes to stop by our web site. My hope is that you will like what you see and that you will be encouraged to come and worship with us. Although we are not a mega-church, you will find yourself welcomed and loved beyond belief from the moment you walk in the door.
I love to play the guitar! I did not start until a little over three years ago at the age of 54. It is a great form of stress relief. I still am not very good but I am a lot better than I was when I started. I drive Angie crazy trying to play Elvis tunes, bluegrass, Southern Gospel, Black Gospel, and all the music she doesn't care for. I have tried to explain to her that the reason I play that music is that it is often much easier to play than the new contemporary Christian worship music. There are still a lot of chords I don't know and I still make a ton of mistakes.
Living the Christian life is the same way. I was "saved" on Father's Day on 1959. But even now, some 52 years later, I still make a ton of mistakes! Just when I think one sin is conquered in my life, something else rears its ugly head that I have to do battle with. And then, in the midst of that war, something happens that causes an old sin to once again come out of hiding and remind me that that battle is still not over. I am so grateful for God's grace and mercy! I am so thankful that Christ Jesus willingly went to the cross in my place and paid a price I could not pay for a debt that I owed.
How about you? Do you just feel down and out and defeated sometimes? Some days I just want to chunk my guitar out the window because it seems I just can't play anything right, even the simplest tune. But I hang in there and before long I am learning a new chord or progression or lick and I am suddenly playing a song that a month ago I thought I would never play. I want to encourage you to hang in there and persevere in your walk with Christ. Don't give up. Jesus will never give up on you. He has too much invested in you! His whole life is invested in you.
I would like to invite you to come and worship with us at Trinity. Come just as you are. We are just plain ordinary folks. If you are not familiar with an Anglican church let me tell you what you can expect. First, a loving group of people. Second, Jesus-centered preaching. Third, the celebration of Communion each Sunday. Fourth, you will hear Scripture readings from the Old and New Testaments, the Psalms, and the Gospels. Fifth, after each service we have a time of prayer in which anyone who wishes to may come forward and be anointed with oil and prayed over for healing, for a personal problem, or to stand in for someone else. We have seen some really amzing answers to these prayers. And finally, you may even get to hear me play the guitar, mistakes and all!
I would be honored to have you come and run the faith race with us.
Your servant by the Grace and Mercy of God,
+Mark
