TRPC Broadcast Email – Saturday, March 21, 2020

Dear Church,

Vacation is over – school’s back in session!

Everyone is invited to join in our Lenten Sunday School Class this Sunday, March 22nd at 10AM. This class will be available only online using the Zoom video interface program. You will need an internet connection and computer (preferably with camera). I will post Instructions on how to connect to this class on our church website. In addition, I will setup a “training” session for today between 4PM and 5PM to give everyone an opportunity to practicing connecting to the class.

Sunday Worship March 22nd –4^th Sunday of Lent

A truncated Sunday worship will be recorded and uploaded as a YouTube video. The link to connect will also be posted on our church website at: TRPChurch.org. This will be available by 11AM Sunday morning and can be watched over the next few weeks.

I have received positive feedback concerning this broadcast email. If you have any suggestions or additions for this letter – please send them to me along with your prayers and concerns to be shared with the church.

We have a unique opportunity to walk through this crisis with hope as we trust in the Lord. We want people to ask us about our hope.

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

But do this with gentleness and respect.  (I Peter 3:15)

Let’s pray for those opportunities and then be alert for them! Remember, our hope is not in this world and our citizenship is in heaven. Let’s be careful about complaining or making this situation into a political issue. We know the One who sits on the throne; worthy of all praise; died and rose again to give us life and hope greater than this world!

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because

the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (I John 4:4).

Together in Christ’s Service,

Rev. Patrick Lanaghan
