Ash Wednesday
On Ash Wednesday, communities around the world flock to worship to receive a cross of ash on their forehead. During the imposition of ashes, we say the words from Genesis, “You are dust and to dust you shall return.” In today’s culture, the media loves stories of people who have crashed and risen from the ruins. We believe in death and resurrection; this crashing and rising is part of our theological experience through Lent and Holy Week. We are often changed through crisis and for many, new birth follows the ashes. Join us on tonight for Ash Wednesday, March 1st, to remember the Biblical story of creation, the reality of death, and the promise of hope to come.
Lent 2017
As someone who enjoys tinkering, for years I have used the excuse of a project to buy a new tool. I bought a saw to make flower boxes for my mother-in-law, a sander to refinish the table in my office in college. We need tools and use tools every day. A computer, a needle for cross-stitching, a welder, a lawn mower, and a phone are just a few tools we use.
When it comes to living out a faithful life, we also use tools. We need tools to have good relationships, tools to reach out to our neighbors in faith, tools to build, and tools to take down. Tools can help us perform a task with ease and tools can help us bring out the beauty that is within. Join me on Wednesday nights during this season of Lent to talk about tools and how we use them in our everyday lives of faith.

Claiming Our Gifts Video Series
Rocky Mountain Synod has prepared a video series called Claiming our Gifts. Bishop Gonia leads this 5-part video series, which will be available for Lent. These videos will be around 15-minutes with discussion prompts, making them a great resource for adult Bible study. Join us in the Fellowship Hall as we walk together with Bishop Gonia on Sunday’s at 10:30am, after Worship Service, starting March 5th. Let us claim the gifts God gave us this Lent and proclaim them with the world!

Sky Ranch Camp
On July 23-30, all youth of Trinity are invited to join Pastor Nate at Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp in Colorado. The week is unique because Sky Ranch is offering youth events for all ages. Young kids will attend for a few days at the beginning of the week, middle school youth will be there all week at the camp, and older youth will have opportunities to serve off-site, white water raft, and experience a high ropes course. Pastor Nate is planning to stay at the camp all week to spend time with Trinity’s youth, and all Wyoming ELCA congregations are planning to attend that week as well. So don’t miss out on this awesome opportunity!

BIBLE PASSAGE FOR THIS WEEK
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.
— First Sunday in Lent, Series A, Matthew 4:1-11
