Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost | August 31
Welcome Trinity Family and Friends!
Invited and inviting—that is the nature of the church. By God’s grace in holy baptism we have a place at Christ’s banquet table. When, by the power of that same Spirit, humility and mutual love continue among us, the church can be more inviting still.
