Dear Trinity Baptist Church Family: A dreary Monday to follow our busy Lord’s Day. It was good to be in God’s house with you yesterday. Pray for one another. Pray for the continuing Exchange Seminar. It is yet tonight, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 6:30p to 8:30p. Jeff said last night if the 6:30p is a bit early because of work, come when you can. Many of us are learning a lot.
Following is information forwarded to me from Shad Horton. His business has advised him concerning a couple of financial breaks for Wisconsin residents with children at home – which includes many in our church. We received similar information from the Wisconsin Association of Christian Schools. Whether or not I think this is good public policy, I do think Christians ought to take advantage of it and use the money for good!
Embracing Truth,
Pastor
