Trinity Weekly Update – Wednesday, 11/4/2026
Dear Friends,
​
Have you ever discovered something so wonderful that you couldn't wait to share it with someone else? Maybe it was a beautiful place, a life-changing book, or an experience that opened your eyes to something you had never seen before.
​
The Apostle Paul believed he had discovered something like that in Jesus Christ. His life had been transformed, and he wanted others to experience that same grace. But Paul also understood that sharing good news isn't always as simple as telling someone about it. In 1 Corinthians 9:16–23, he makes a rather startling statement about the lengths he was willing to go.
​
What was he willing to give up? What difference did that make in his own life? And what difference did it make in the lives of those around him?
​
I look forward to exploring this more with you on Sunday. See you then!
​
Grace and Peace,
Joe

I watch this morning for the light that the darkness has not overcome,
I watch for the fire that was in the beginning
and that burns still in the brilliance of the rising sun.
I watch for the glow of life that gleams in the growing earth
and that glistens in sea and sky
I watch for your light, O God,
in the eyes of every living creature
and in the ever-living flame of my own soul.
If the grace of seeing were mine this day,
I would glimpse you in all that lives.
Grant me the grace of seeing this day.
Grant me the grace of seeing.
Amen.
- John Philip Newell
