Thursday, August 1st, 2013click here for past entriesReport from Joint Assembly 2013
The report that was shared at worship on July 21st is available either in printed form from the table in the narthex or on the St. Luke’s Zion website on the Pastor’s Page. (www.stlukeszion.ca) Videos, pictures, and plenty of other information is also available on the assembly website (jointassembly.ca). For those wondering what a “joint assembly” is, that’s when Lutherans hold their national convention together with Anglicans who are holding their general synod. This took place in Ottawa from July 3-7.

Animate: A different kind of study
Beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 18th, we will begin the “Animate” study of faith. Animate is for all those who have asked lots of questions: about church, about religion, about the cross, and even about God. Why read the Bible over and over again? Why did Jesus need to die on the cross? Does God really love some people and hate others? What does it mean to be saved?
Come prepared to have some good discussion and to hear from some people who have their own unique perspectives on faith and the church. Topics include God, Religion, Jesus, Salvation, Cross, Bible, and Church. Each session includes a DVD presentation and plenty to discuss. There is a Journal that goes with this course, so if you would like to order one, please let Pastor Lynne know.
Come from noon to 1:30 pm on Wednesdays, and bring a bag lunch. This course will last until the end of October.
The Saturday Bible study on the Parables will resume in September.
AN END OF AN ERA
On July 10, 2013 the executive of Aberdeen Mennonite and Trinity Lutheran Churches signed an Offer to Purchase Trinity's property at 265 Flora Ave., Winnipeg, MB.
The date of Closing is September 1, 2013.
Therefore, Sunday, August 25, 2013 at 11:00 am will be Trinity's final Worship Service.
YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN WITH THEM AT THIS HISTORIC EVENT.
This will be a Service of Leave-Taking. Besides a Worship of Word and Sacrament this will include "Leaving a Church Building" and Closing of a Congregation".
The congregations' records and assets will be handed over to a representative of regional church archives.
A symbolic handing over of the keys and/or the presentation of an official document of sale will take place.
A symbolic removal of some of the Worship Appointments will also be carried out.
This will be a sad occasion but it will be a Celebration of what has been done in the name of Christ by this congregation for 125 years and through this building for 45 years.
We will go on our way Rejoicing with our heads held high, thanking God for all He has done for us and what we have been able to share with the community.
[We will have a cup of coffee before we leave.]
