Sunday Recap – March 17

Yesterday was the tenth Sunday in our sermon series The Upside Down Kingdom. 

Pastor Brian Keepers preached from Matthew 6:19-34, exploring Jesus’ teaching on what it means to be free from worry and trust that God will take care of us in this upside down kingdom.

Upcoming Events

Imagine If Sessions: It’s one thing to imagine what God might do. It’s another thing to be the vessel through which He moves. Is God calling you or your family to have a front row seat in what he wants to do in Hospers? Come and hear a special presentation on what we are imagining and how you can be a part of it. Sessions will be offered March 28 at 6:30 / 7:30 / 8:30pm & April 7 at 3:30 / 4:30pm. Please sign up online.

Faithwalking Retreat: What if God has more for your life and relationships than just “It’s fine”? What if God is calling you into an adventure of transformation that leads to being more fully alive? A life on mission with God? Pastor Brian is excited to offer Trinity’s first Faithwalking Retreat March 29-31. It will be local, so you will go home each night to sleep in your own beds. We’ll explore topics like integrity and authenticity, and how to get unstuck from your default patterns so that you can be more fully who God designed you to be. You will not be the same after this retreat! Cost is $30/person. Scholarships are available. Capacity is limited so sign up soon online.
