Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,
*SUNDAY – TRINITY 3 – “The Sunday of the Lost Sheep”*
Lost sheep, yes; but it’s also the Sunday of the lost coin and the lost son. That last parable you know quite well under a different name: the *Prodigal *Son. But like the sheep and the coin, the story is less about the trouble one gets into while lost than it is about the Father, who seeks and saves the lost. This week we are given to see into the heart of God’s love and compassion for you. And there are no lengths too far for Him to cut short His mission to save you. *Join us at the party of all those who were lost and now are found at 8am at Grace and 11am at Trinity. Bible Study will be at 9:30am at Grace in between.*
*For those not yet joining us in person*, here is the bulletin for Sunday <mcusercontent.com/a90ee03ff0810e6c55bae6a58/files/fe6d7047-ad2d-4b67-8ead-dbf4abf52b2a/2020_06_28_Trinity_3.pdf> to follow along with at home.
