Mark 16:1-20
Scripture for Easter Sunday, April 4
Today we begin Holy Week, the last week of Jesus’ life. We like Palm Sunday and the celebration. But we want to forget all that happens during Holy Week and just go on to Easter Sunday. Yet, to go from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday doesn’t give us the whole story, does it? And just like in our lives, only thinking about the times of joy doesn’t tell our whole story either. We would rather forget the times of sorrow and suffering but like it or not, those times are a part of who we are. So as we travel with Jesus through Holy Week, let’s look for the moments of joy, the precious moments of life, even in the midst of the sorrow. Those are the moments for Jesus, and for us, when we experience the holy touch of God.
Give us Your eyes, God, to see the holy in our daily lives. Amen.

THANKS TO THE YOUTH, TODD AND JILL FOR THE DELICIOUS LUNCH LAST SUNDAY. MAY EACH ONE BE BLESSED. TRINITY IS TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU DO.
Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was marked today at Trinity with the Children’s Palm Processional. All children (there were 40+) participated in this traditional activity. This leads us into Holy Week which concludes with Good Friday, the day of Jesus’ crucifixion, and Easter Sunday, the day of Jesus’ resurrection.
Today at 4 p.m. we will begin a new short-term video study, Christianity's Family Tree. The six-week study will give us a better understanding of other denominations such as Lutheran, Catholic and Baptist which includes similarities and differences in our theology and other aspects of the faith. If you would like to join the group, come out and check it out. There will be a lot to learn and opportunity for a lively discussion about what we believe and why.
Early morning Ecumenical Holy Week Services will start on Monday
(tomorrow) and run through Thursday at Trinity. Beginning at 7 a.m.,
there will be 30 minutes of prayer, singing, and a meditation given by a
minister from the Bloomfield Ministerial Alliance, followed by a time of
fellowship. Speakers for the week will be Bro. Greg Stevens on Monday;
Bro. Dan Sitze on Tuesday; Pastor Susan on Wednesday and Bro. Bob
Holland will conclude the services on Thursday. Everyone is invited and
encouraged to attend. There should be ample time to come to the
worship before going to work.
Join us for a very special Maundy Thursday service on April 1 at Trinity at 7p.m. Maundy Thursday is the night Jesus shared His last meal with His closest followers and began the powerful ritual we continue today, Holy Communion. It is also the night He was betrayed by Judas and arrested. We will remember that meal, His ministry and how He humbled Himself to walk all way to the cross on Good Friday. Please join us as we remember...
On Friday, the Community Good Friday Services will be held at the Living Water Church (Hwy. 25) at 7 p.m. Bro. Kevin Eskew will bring the message.
Easter Sunday services at Trinity will be held at 8:30 and 11 a.m. The tradition of Flowering the Cross will be continued. Cissy Williams will be leading the Trinity Singers in music for the 11 a.m. service. Practice for this service will be Wednesday, March 31, 7:00 p.m. All those with a heart to sing are invited to be a part of the Trinity Singers.
Despite the cool, brisk wind and mostly cloudy skies, the park was full of children yesterday hunting eggs, jumping and bouncing, and enjoying hot dogs and chips. Thanks to all who helped make this possible.
Dates to Remember: Tuesday, April 6, Bloomfield School debt service levy election

Mark 11:1-11
Scripture for March 28
Do you remember a time when you saw someone who you had not seen in a long, long time? Think about how excited you were to see the person and all the feelings that you felt. Well, that gives you some idea of how the people were feeling as Jesus entered Jerusalem in our Scripture for Sunday. Read the passage and imagine that you are there as Jesus enters Jerusalem. Hear the crowd as He passes by, look around at all the people who have come to see Him, notice the looks on their faces. Some are so happy, others aren’t too sure what to make of Him and a few have looks of anger because so many people are cheering Him. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem to shouts of Hosanna, Holy Week begins. And it doesn’t end as it began…
Well God, I wonder if I would have gone to see Jesus or would I have stayed home? Would I have wondered if He really was the Son of God or was He just someone who wanted attention? I wonder what I would have done, God…Amen.
