CHILDREN’S SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL

9:20 to 10:30 am - Nursery available for children birth thru age 2.

Beginning today thru September 1, children will remain in the Sanctuary for a child-centered time of worship. This allows our faithful children’s ministry team the opportunity to worship with the Trinity Family.

Regular classes will resume September 8, when our worship schedule returns to two Sunday Services: 9:00 am and 10:35 am. If your and your little one would be more comfortable, our “Family Room” is to the right. Nursery care (downstairs) continues to be available for children through age 2.

Thank you for your support of our teachers!

Trinity’s Ushers can help you with:

Sound Amplification Devices

Benediction Megan Warnaka projected You go nowhere by accident.

Wherever you go, God is sending you. Wherever you are, God has put you there.

God has a purpose in your being there. Christ lives in you and has something

he wants to do through you where you are. Believe this and go in the grace and love and power of Jesus Christ.

Postlude To Walk in God’s Ways

Living with God at the Center

Matthew 14:22-36

22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23And after he had dis-missed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them.25And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake.26But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in fear. 27But immedi-ately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’ 28 Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ 29He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came towards Jesus. 30But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’ 31Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’ 32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’ 34 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

35After the people of that place recognized him, they sent

word throughout the region and brought all who were sick to him, 36and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

Acts 1:6-11

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’ 7He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come up-on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Sa-maria, and to the ends of the earth.’ 9When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.10While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. 11They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’

Trinity’s Mission Statement : Living With God at the Center

Individually and together, we honor God at the center of our lives by: Meeting Jesus in authentic community-Community.

Seeking to know God better-Communion. Learning God’s truths-Roots.

Serving God’s purposes through our life mission-Mission. Welcoming the deep changes that the Spirit desires within us-Renewal.

We invite others to worship with us and to join us on this journey.

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.

A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.

Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education

During the Summer, Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes every Sunday and pick them up promptly after worship. The sign-in sheet is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall.

Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.

YOUTH HAPPENINGS

Now through Labor Day weekend, we will worship together as one church family with one service each week at 9:30 am. There will be a variety of children’s programs offered throughout the summer during worship.

Pastoral Care

While Pastor John and Cynthia are away on sabbatical, we are blessed to have Denise Shannon available for any pastoral care needs, including prayer, hospital and pastoral visit requests, etc. Please feel to reach out to her:

Denise Shannon, MDIV 720-271-6733 or DeniseLShannon@aol.com

Denise will preach on the first Sundays while John is away; on other Sundays, the weekly message will be given by members of our congregation. What they have to offer will surely be a blessing to us all. You won’t want to miss a Sunday, but if vacation takes you away, remember you can always listen to the sermons online.

Trinity’s Missions Can Use Your Help

Despite all the changes in the King Soopers Fundraiser, the good news is that we are at 85% of where we were at this time last year. Proceeds through June 30, 2019 were $4240.94. We are grateful for all the new people who have joined this fundraiser as well as all who have been supporting in this way for a number of years.

Another way we might increase our funds from King Soopers would be to ask your friends and family to enter your phone number in their alternate ID on the scanner when they make purchases at King Soopers (or Kroger stores out of state). This will credit Trinity for their purchase.

If you are a Safeway shopper and don’t have a “Swipe for Missions” Safeway gift card, you can get one from Gerry Hunt. If your King Soopers account is not linked to Trinity; or if you don’t have an account at all, call Gerry at 303-548-1080 and he can help you get that set up.

Thank you so much! Your participation in this easy, no-cost-to-you fundraiser makes a big impact in how Trinity can serve missions locally and worldwide.

Congregational Conversations Follow-Up

Theme: When Health Declines

If you would like to continue the conversation of declining health and the issues that come with that, please join us in the Library today Sunday, July 28 after worship.

Theme: Filling Life With Purpose

Enjoying life to the fullest, while we are able, is important to all of us. Sharing hobbies, traveling together, finding ways to contribute at every stage of life help us feel useful and alive. How might we thrive together?" Anyone interested in this theme is welcome to join us in Room 301 today Sunday, July 28 after worship.

The New 2019-2021 Book of Order is now available!

The mutual interconnection of the church through its councils is a sign of the unity of the church. Congregations of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), while possessing all the gifts necessary to be the church, are nonetheless not sufficient in themselves to be the church. Rather, they are called to share with others both within and beyond the congregation the task of bearing witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the world. This call to bear witness is the work of all believers. The particular responsibility of the councils of the church is to nurture, guide, and govern those who witness as part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), to the end that such witness strengthens the whole church and gives glory to God. (Book of Order G-3.0101) Hard copies can be ordered at the pcusastore.com.

All Presbytery women are invited to the 2019-2020 Bible Study Seminar on Love Carved in Stone: A Fresh Look at the Ten Commandments.

Rev. Dana Hughes, Presbytery Pastor (transitional) will lead the event on Saturday, August 3, 2019, 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Peoples Presbyterian, 2780 York Street, Denver. Come and meet Pastor Hughes!

RSVP to Vicki Terry at (720) 273-6870 or sosagup@q.com by Wednesday., July 31.
