Greetings Dear Friends! Through the past month and more we have climbed to the top of Jerusalem with our Lord Jesus Christ, have battled Coronavirus, and hurdled obstacles in the path. Its been quite a strange jour- ney, yet one well marked for us with crosses along the way. From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday weve seen the signs. They look like this: Ash Wednesday Tau Cross, the Cross of Prophecy. Matthew 26:1-13, Deuteronomy 21:22-23 God reversed the curse by putting His Son on the tree. It was ordained that Jesus would die for the sins of the world. We find hope in Gods promises of old, because they remain true today and eternally. Lenten Midweek 1 Saltire Cross, the Cross of Humility Matthew 26:14-29, Psalm 8:1-5 Christ humbled Himself, took up His cross, and carried the sins of the world – mine and yours and everyone elses. Inspired by His sacri- fice and renewed by His grace, followers do the very same. In humility, Andrew took up His cross and followed Christ, asking to be crucified differently because he was not worthy to die as wonderful- ly as His Lord. Jesus invites us deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow, promising that His yoke is easy and His burden is light! Lenten Midweek 2 Anchor Cross, the Cross of Hope Matthew 26:30-56, Psalm 61 Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesusblood and righteousness. His cross He took not so we could avoid suffering, rather that we would always find our temporal and eternal hope in Him. Lenten Midweek 3 Maltese Cross, the Cross of Regeneration Matthew 26:57-75, Hosea 6 Blessed are they who have been bap- tized into Christs death, for we are brought into new life. His work on the cross crucifies our old Ad- am and raises up a new person as God would have us. The cross has eight points reminding us of the Baptismal font. Yet its eight points refer also to the description of those who are baptized into Christ, the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). Lenten Midweek 4 Greek Cross, the Cross of Suffering Matthew 27:1-26, Nehemiah 9:27 The Romans perfected the art of torture, the cross. Greeks loved beauty in symmetry. They appreciated things looking just right ex- ternally. We are often tempted to see the cross as the Greeks did – a simple, beautiful, perfected piece of art. Christs cross can lose its suffering and pain in the hopes of softening His work, and ours. But the cross is made perfect only in that Christ suffered for sin. We know suffering too. As consequence of sin, we know suffering, but Christ has taken that eternal pain away. Now we take sufferings and blessings both as copious gifts of God, opportunities to glorify His name and bear wit- ness to Him, for He will always provide! Page 1 APRIL TRINITY TIDINGS

Greetings Dear Friends!

Through the past month and more we have climbed to the top of Jerusalem with our Lord Jesus

Christ, have battled Coronavirus, and hurdled obstacles in the path. It’s been quite a strange jour-

ney, yet one well marked for us with crosses along the way. From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday

we’ve seen the signs. They look like this:

Ash Wednesday Tau Cross, the Cross of Prophecy.

Matthew 26:1-13, Deuteronomy 21:22-23 God reversed the curse by putting His

Son on the tree. It was ordained that Jesus would die for the sins of the world. We find

hope in God’s promises of old, because they remain true today and eternally.

Lenten Midweek 1 Saltire Cross, the Cross of Humility

Matthew 26:14-29, Psalm 8:1-5 Christ humbled Himself, took up His

cross, and carried the sins of the world – mine and yours and everyone else’s. Inspired by His sacri-

fice and renewed by His grace, followers do the very same. In humility, Andrew took up His cross

and followed Christ, asking to be crucified differently because he was not worthy to die as wonderful-

ly as His Lord. Jesus invites us deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow, promising that His yoke

is easy and His burden is light!

Lenten Midweek 2 Anchor Cross, the Cross of Hope

Matthew 26:30-56, Psalm 61 Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’

blood and righteousness. His cross He took not so we could avoid suffering, rather that we would

always find our temporal and eternal hope in Him.

Lenten Midweek 3 Maltese Cross, the Cross of Regeneration

Matthew 26:57-75, Hosea 6 Blessed are they who have been bap-

tized into Christ’s death, for we are brought into new life. His work on the cross crucifies our old Ad-

am and raises up a new person as God would have us. The cross has eight points reminding us of the

Baptismal font. Yet it’s eight points refer also to the description of those who are baptized into

Christ, the Beatitudes (Matthew 5).

Lenten Midweek 4 Greek Cross, the Cross of Suffering

Matthew 27:1-26, Nehemiah 9:27 The Romans perfected the art of torture,

the cross. Greeks loved beauty in symmetry. They appreciated things looking just right ex-

ternally. We are often tempted to see the cross as the Greeks did – a simple, beautiful, perfected

piece of art. Christ’s cross can lose its suffering and pain in the hopes of softening His work, and

ours. But the cross is made perfect only in that Christ suffered for sin. We know suffering too. As

consequence of sin, we know suffering, but Christ has taken that eternal pain away. Now we take

sufferings and blessings both as copious gifts of God, opportunities to glorify His name and bear wit-

ness to Him, for He will always provide!

Lenten Midweek 5 Crosslet Cross, the Cross of Mission

Matthew 27:27-66, 1Kings 8:56-61 The good news of Jesus drives and arrives on-

ly by way of the cross. While God drives everything through Christ’s sacrifice, and Jesus takes the

sin and brokenness of our world upon Himself, what He has accomplished becomes life-giving news

to the world, a message to be shared. The crosslet cross is a cross with another cross on each arm of

the central cross. A cross going out into each of the four directions of the world. So shall our mes-

sage be shared.

Palm Sunday Crucifix, the Cross of Sacrifice

Isaiah 8, Matthew 21:1-11 On Palm Sunday Jesus enters Jerusalem to change

the face of the world. The world embraces a child born at Christmas, but This Child would grow to

be more than cute and cuddly, He would offer the greatest sacrifice, Himself, in order to be crowned

King of the Universe. The crucifix depicts Jesus crowned in death, a most interesting coronation for

the King of the Universe. Jesus is our King, and He governs like no other – in justice and righteous-

ness, truth and purity! Our God reigns!

Maundy Thursday Celtic Cross, the Cross of Divine Redemption

John 13:1-17, 31b-35, Isaiah 49:26 Jesus will be devoured soon enough

by those who wish Him dead. Judas will betray Him, disciples will leave Him, crowds will call for

His crucifixion, and Romans will make it happen. But the Lord’s work is a divine work. It is a work

to redeem people, something only the Son of God can do Himself. The Celtic cross calls as a remind-

er of Christ’s divinity. As the divine Son of God, He knows some want blood; but He also

knows many He calls who hunger and thirst for righteousness; and to those, He delivers.

Good Friday Passion Cross, the Cross of Nails

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 We use nails to bind things. Romans used nails to

inflict. As useful as nails can be, they can hurt wood and scar skin. We carry the scars of painful

nails – some are those self-inflicted wounds of our sin that we carry around in guilt. Jesus takes the

nails, our nails, the nails meant to inflict, and ultimately the nails that bound Him to a tree. He took

them, to bind us to Himself. The nail cross reminds us we are bound to our Lord by His gracious

death.

Resurrection of our Lord Glory Cross, the Cross of Victory

Matthew 28:1-10 The Glory Cross is an empty cross. Christ

has triumphed! It is also a cross that radiates. It radiates power, victory, glory, and the

might of God. Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed Alleluia! For us, the cross is empty, the tomb is

empty, but our message is not empty!

Now, we have reached the pinnacle of parish celebrations – the Resurrection of our

Lord. For the rest of the month of April and beyond we will bask in the glowing Al-

leluia of our Lord’s Victory over death. The reality is, however, that the journey we

have taken to the top of the Lenten mountain isn’t daily done for us. We have hills

yet to climb, battles yet to face, and hurdles still placed in our path. Coronavirus,

for one, is still the pervading topic. We aren’t “free” from it yet.

But it is different for us who believe. Christ overcame death itself. He climbed the

cross at Calvary and from there, ascended. He brought us along for the ride. It means that while we

face death all day long…We will be brought over the hills of our struggles, receive the spoils of

Christ’s victory over our enemies, and discover a smooth and easy, everlasting path of righteousness.

We yet strain under earthly hills and battles, but they do not compare, nor can they crush us. The

heavenly hill has been ascended and with Him we shall arise.

My friends, I hope this truth gives you a living comfort and shapes your life and living during these

times. This is our opportunity to support one another in the living truth that because HE lives, we

shall live also; that Christ is risen – and we (in Him) are rising!

Some still have serious hills to climb and battles ahead, greater than others of us. All will face simi-

lar spiritual enemies and hurdles. The cross of Christ remains a signpost – a guide along the path.

As you reflect on the crosses of Lent, may they guide you in prayer for those with unique challenges,

and all whom God has given life.

We aim to guide you on the path of righteousness – both in exhilaration at the view from the zenith

of Christ’s resurrection, and in inspired perspiration for the hikes yet to be made.

We’ve included brief descriptions of the Crosses of Lent for your use.

We encourage each of you to read GOD’sText, whether you have been or not, to share it, meditate on

it, and talk about it.

We urge you to share your discoveries, requests, needs, enlightenment, and blessings from your Lord and GOD’sText at [email protected]. Pray for us and with us. We’ve given a list of those whose earthly hills are rather pressing these days,

and welcome you to add. We’ve also included a list of those whose birthdays are celebrated this

month – that’s both God’s gift of life and a list of those we know whom God gave the birth of new life

through water and the Spirit. (If your baptismal birthday is not included and should be this month,

or you know that we do not have your date on record, please share it that we might keep you in pray-

er and celebration!) There are also plenty of others in need, less fortunate, in the path of the virus,

under duress, struggling with the changes or the demands upon them at this time who desperately

need the Lord’s mercy. We pray they might be cared for and discover the grace of God.

Reach out. Give us a call or email if you need anything or desire a conversation during these times.

We are trying to connect with you and would welcome it!

Study. Ask a pastor about a zoom reading group or zoom Bible study. Or gather some friends for

group phone calls. Call a neighbor or a friend, connect with family, and share the Word with one an-

other. You can be a real blessing to others!

Take the Cross. Wherever you go, take Christ and His empty cross along. Literally, we want you –

once the ban is lifted, to take wooden Lenten crosses that made up our Lenten journey home with

you. (I’ve included a summary regarding each of those crosses we used including a symbol and a

reading for devotional and family use.) Figuratively, your Lord is with you always, yet you can bring

Him in word and deed to those around you, those you contact, and those you pray for.

God’s peace to You always in Christ, Pastor Hinz

Time For Prayer for Ourselves and Others

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions , and thanksgivings be made for all peo-ple, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dig-nified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing to God our Savior who desires all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

Are you mindful of the wonderful gift God has given us in prayer? You have a direct line to the living God who created the entire universe and still preserves it! He is always ready to hear and answer our pray-ers, much more even than we are ready to pray. Here are some thoughts of people for whom you can pray.

For your brothers and sisters in Christ at Trinity: Pastors, church leaders, all the members.

In this newsletter is a listing of birthdays in April and (new!) baptismal birthdays – you might call people on these special days and let them know you are praying for them. (If your birthday (physical or baptismal) in April is missing it, it means it is not on the computer. Contact the church office so it can be added.)

During the COVID-19 pandemic:

For pastors, church leaders, and congregation faced with the challenges of social distancing

For frontline health care workers

For grocers and truckers who keep the food supply stocked and available

For responsible citizens who use God’s gifts wisely

For those with mental health challenges who feel isolated, anxious, and helpless

For the safe and quick return of international travelers stuck in foreign countries

For Christian missionaries throughout the world, especially in areas with high rates of infection

For workers in a variety of industries facing layoffs and financial hardship

For families with young children at home for the foreseeable future

For parents who cannot stay home from work but must find care for their children

For those in need of regular therapies and treatments that must now be postponed

For business leaders making difficult decisions that affect the lives of their employees

For students and parents doing schoolwork at home (patience)

For college and university students, whose courses of study are changing, whose placements are cancelled, whose graduation is uncertain.

For Christians in every neighborhood, community, and city.

Heavenly Father, we trust that You are good and do good. Teach us to be Your faithful people in this time of global crisis. May Your Holy Spirit inspire us to pray, to give, to love, to serve, and to proclaim the life-giving and life-saving gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to follow in the footsteps of our faithful Shepherd, Je-sus, who laid down His life for the sake of us all. Glorify His name as you equip us with everything needed for doing Your will. Amen.

Holy Week Worship Services

Our observance of Holy Week will be different from any we have experienced as we cannot gather to-gether for this most powerful week of the church year -- Palm Sunday to Easter. Worship services will be streamed online (Sundays also on radio). Who would have thought we would stay home for Easter? Nevertheless, sheltered in our homes, we can journey with our Lord through His passion, death, and vic-torious resurrection. It’s still all about Jesus!

Here are the times for the services:

Palm Sunday – 8:00 AM (also on radio WVAL 800 AM) Maundy Thursday – 7:00 PM Good Friday – 7:00 PM Easter Sunday – 8:00 AM (also on radio WVAL 800 AM)

The services will be streamed on Facebook LIVE. The link is on Trinity’s website. Click on the Face-book logo. Service are also available for playback.

Thank You for Continuing Offerings

For all who have continued to send your regular offerings as well as some additional generous gifts — THANK YOU. During this time of the COVID-19 epidemic, we find ourselves in ever-changing situations at home or at work: online school classes, working from home, layoffs, reduced hours, extra hours, learning new skills quickly. The psalms remind us, “Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth.” And so we trust Him to supply “our daily bread” which He does and often in great abundance.

As His stewards we are called to manage all His gifts (including our very selves!) for His purposes. Take good care of yourself and your household during these days. Be creative and find ways (while “social distancing”) to demonstrate love for God by loving your neighbor (praying, telephoning, mailing cards of encouragement, messaging, errands with “front door drop-offs” of groceries or medicines…to name a few).

As you are able, please continue to remember your church and its ongoing ministry in this time. Offer-ings to Trinity can be sent by mail, online E-giving, and drop off at the church office.

Huddled at home for the Easter weekend? So were the disciples on the first Easter.

Here's a fun activity for "Kids of God's kingdom" (children and adults) to do together.

It's a recipe with a devotion that will bring home the joyful celebration of the resurrection.

Thanks be to God who gives us the victory in our Lord Jesus Christ!

Easter Story Cookies (to be made the night before Easter)

1 c. whole pecans 1 tsp vinegar 1 c. sugar zipper baggie 3 egg whites

Tape wooden spoon pinch of salt BIBLE

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE HALF DONE WITH THE RECIPE!!!

Place pecans in zipper baggie, and let the children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.

Read John 19:1-3.

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink. Read John 10:28-30.

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life.

Read John 10:10-11.

Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Ex-plain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers and the bitterness of our own sin.

Read Luke 23:27.

So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing.

Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. .Read Psalms 34:8 and John 3:16.

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.

Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.

Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto baking stone. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60.

Put the baking stone in the oven, close the door, and TURN THE OVEN OFF!

Give each child a piece of tape and seal the door. Read Matthew 27:65-66

GO TO BED!!

Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.

On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow!

On the first Easter, Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.

Read Matthew 28:1-9
