Could you provide a meal and some good company?
Pastor Rachel Larson and Don Holmstrom could really use some help right now. As we all know, Pastor Rachel is battling her illness everyday. But, recently Don fell on the ice and suffered a broken scapula...ouch!!!
A lunch or dinner could really go a long way, and Rachel and Don always love hearing from fellow members and friends!
If you can help, please call Rachel or Don directly to setup a time and day.
Don's Cell: 507-995-8789

We Have A New Church Librarian!
We welcome Jennie Lawrence as
Trinity's New Librarian!
LIBRARY NEWS – I am currently conducting a physical inventory of the library. The card catalog does not necessarily reflect what is on the shelves. If you happen to have any TLC library books or other materials return them at your convenience. I will be setting up a plastic crate for returns. For now, just put them on the table.
I have an envelope on the book rack in the Gruver Room. If you wish to check out a book from that rack, simply fill out the card located on the inside back cover, and drop it in the envelope taped to the book rack. Other library books can be checked out downstairs in the library. Please fill out the card, and leave it in the box on the desk.
We have had quite a few Christian fiction books donated. These are generally good, light reads. I am not going to catalog these in. They will be available on a read and return basis. Just take them, and when you are done reading them bring them back. You do not need to check them out. Most of these will be downstairs, however I will try to leave a couple in the Gruver Room, too.
If you have books that you wish to donate to our library, please put them on the table in the library, so I can get them cataloged and processed before they go on the shelves.
Thanks, Jennie Lawrence

BIBLE PASSAGE FOR THIS WEEK
“You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder’; and ‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
“Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’ But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.
— Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, Series A, Matthew 5:21-37
