Service

That Widens

"Will you give Me a drink?"[v.7]

The story begins when Jesus asks the woman for water.

   Her service is directed first towards Him and then

   towards others. Like a narrow stream that widens to

   become swifter and stronger, Trinity's tradition of

   service flows from those in our congregation to

   those in our community and to the world.

Like the woman at the well, our service begins by

   serving Jesus and extends to serving those around us.

   Trinity served as a vital community center for food,

   supplies, and volunteer help during the Great Flood

   of 1993. Members of our congregation help assemble

   Braille Bibles that are shipped throughout the nation

   and they also make quilts to be sent to all over the

   world. Our school children help out at an inner city

   childcare center and lead worship services at local

   nursing homes.

Our service also returns to its source: for us, serving

   others is serving our Lord.
