 The Trinity Trumpet NewsletterHoly Week Holy week is approaching quickly. Our services for the week are designed to work together to lead to a greater understanding of the events surrounding Jesus death and resurrection. Please come and celebrate all of them with us. Palm Sunday Divine Service: March 28th 10:00 AM (With the people of Jerusalem we welcome Christ as King. But, unlike the crowds of Jesus' day we know that He came as the Lamb of God to give Himself for our sins.) Musicians Needed: Holy Week is a wonderful time of the year and the talent in our congregation adds to the enjoyment. If you would like to do a solo during the Palm Sunday service, the Maundy thursday Seder Meal or one of the Easter services please let Pastor know. We would really appreciate your participation.
Bible Studies Throughout the week we have several opportunities for Bible study. On Sunday mornings at 8:45 we are looking at some of the major doctrines (teachings) of the Church on a very deep level. Beginning with the Trinity we are discussing each doctrine in depth, where it is found in Scripture, how it has often been misunderstood and why it is important for us to know and uphold each doctrine. At the moment we are studying Communion Thursday Morning Men's Bible Study meets at the South HyVee deli at 6:30 am for breakfast, fellowship and study. We are studying the book of Matthew Do you have family member receiving care at Iowa City or the Mayo Clinic:

PARTICIPANTS' PASSION PLAY: This May we will welcome the community to join us for an interactive passion play, a presentation of the events leading up to the cross during the last week before Christ's death and a celebration of the Resurrection. This particular Passion play will be unusual, as the audience will take an active part, playing the role of the crowds from Palm Sunday through the crucifixion. This play is made possible through a donation from Merilyn Walters for costumes and sets. Natalie and Mike Saunders are helping with production. The play is being written by Pastor Andersen and Marshall Bohlmann. Seth Lewis will play the part of Jesus. The play will be held the last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of May. We need about 25 volunteers for speaking parts and assorted volunteers for set up, set construction and musical and non-speaking roles. Please let pastor know if you would like to help - it really looks like it will be a great experience.
