Revelation 1:12-20

9 12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many wa-ters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive for-evermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

The flowers in the sanctuary today are given by David & Jude Bloor Brandt. In honor of their great nephew, Karson Ligon’s, 18th birthday!

Eastern Area Community Ministries (EACM)

Valentine’s Day is here! Love Your Neighbor by making a donation to EACM. The needs of our community are tremendous right now and EACM’s biggest fundraiser has been cancelled. You may make donations of cash, check (made payable to Eastern Ar-ea Community Ministries) or $25 gift cards from Kroger, WalMart, Meijer or Target. Contributions to EACM can be made at any time, but Trinity’s LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR collection will be from February 14 until March 14. Please share with a neighbor in need by dropping your donation into the wooden box placed in the Narthex.

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes For the month of February, we are collecting fashion accessories for packing into OCC shoeboxes for boys and girls later this year. Fashion accessories include items such as sunglasses, hair bows, hair ties, watches, and jewelry. Happy Shopping! You may drop off your donations anytime into the bin provided in the Narthex.

One Great Hour of Sharing For over 70 years, One Great Hour of Sharing has provided the church a way to share God’s love with our neighbors in need around the world. You will note that the One Great Hour of Sharing correlates with Lent and we humbly ask for your support of this ministry from February 17 – April 4, 2021. Envelopes have been placed in the Narthex on the table with the wooden box also used for EACM donations. Please put your donation into an envelope before placing it in the wooden box so we can discern where the donation is to go. Note that cardboard fish banks are on the table as well. Pick up a fish bank for your child to teach them the love of sharing by filling the bank with coins during Lent and giving it as a donation.
