Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family, Psalm 56:3-4 “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4 In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?” Pastor Charlie preached to us last evening from Psalm 91 on the theme of trust. Note the time of trust here – when I am afraid. Note the source of trust – in God. Our lives are very uncertain. If we try to control other people or our circumstances we will live in fear and anger. It is always better to trust. Trust in God is our basis for all other trust.

There is so much to pray for. Joe C passed along this prayer request for his nephew: “After getting second and third opinions, AJ is scheduled for IVC Reconstruction at Northwestern on March 14th (my mom’s bday and my lucky charm). The procedure will take 4-5 hours and because it’s done through 2 small incisions, it is considered, minimally invasive. They will gain access through his jugular and femoral veins and meet in the middle to do this amazing work. AJ will have stents placed through his IVC and both legs. The hope is that after blood is flowing back to his heart correctly, AJ will be able to have his life back. It will look different but that’s okay.

Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. It helps so much to feel the love from others.”

Continue to pray for healing and strength for Carolyn O. Dave E is going to be having some transfusions to help his inflamed artery. He is not sleeping well and is have problems with vision in one eye.

Continue to pray for strength and healing for Dave R. Pray for Tim and Lisa too following the passing of Tim’s mom.

Van and Patty went to Ohio this weekend because Van’s dad is failing. Pray for them as they minister to family. Also, Van’s brother-in- law has a renewed fight with cancer.

We learned yesterday that Mary Kay M broke her hip by falling at work. She is healing at home. Pray for her recovery.

Continue to pray for Matt and Lille and baby Eliana. Ellie was jaundice yesterday. Pray they can bring her home soon. One of Lillie’s sisters has set up a meal train for them. You can find a link to it by going to our church fb page.

Tom and Marie were not feeling well yesterday.

I rejoice in the good day with God’s people yesterday. I hope you were encouraged.

Wednesday, February 14 is “Under the Sea” night at Awana. Dress up nautical.

Spend time in God’s Word. Jesus is the only sure hope, our only satisfaction.

Embracing Truth. Equipping Saints.
