Dear friends of Jesus connected through Peace,
Money, possessions, and theft.
Do you think it is a problem today? Where do you see most theft take place?
How can we stop it, or at the very least, reduce it? Can we stop being part of it ourselves?
That’s what we’ve got to ask this week. We’re on the 7th Commandment “You shall not steal”.
This week
God’s Word this week: Exodus 20:15, 1 Timothy 6:6-10, and Matthew 6:19-34
Music this week: “Father, We Praise You”, “Lord Have Mercy”, “My Worth is Not in What I Own”, “Brothers Sisters Let Us Gladly”, and “What is the World to Me”
Study the Large Catechism https://bit.ly/3XBqeMP
Friends, it will be good to get into this helpful study with you. May God work among us to lead us into new life.
Sincerely,
Pastor T

Lent By Candlelight
Lent by Candlelight takes place on Saturday, March 29 at 5:00 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bangor. Lent by Candlelight serves as a quiet time of reflection and meditation during the busy season of Lent. During this event, we will focus on the “Quiet Voices of Lent.” These are the minor characters of Lent who appear in the Passion History and have a lot to share with us. All Ladies are invited to this event. Finger sandwiches and other light snacks will be served. We look forward to your attending. Bring a friend! If you have questions, please contact Katrina Reis at (269) 993-5448 or reis.katrina@gmail.com. Trinity is located at 115 E. Monroe St. Bangor, MI.
