*Commemoration of St. Gregory the Great* <concordiaandkoinonia.wordpress.com/2016/09/03/the-commemoration-of-st-gregory-the-great-3-september/>
Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,
This Sunday is
*The 14th Sunday after Trinity*
*T** Sunday of the ten lepers **T*
Proverbs 4:10-23; Galatians 5:16-24; Luke 17:11-19 <www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+4%3A10-23%3B+Galatians+5%3A16-24%3B+Luke+17%3A11-19&version=ESV>
***A Special Note About This Sunday***
On Wednesday I tested positive for Covid-19, which means that I cannot be in Church on Sunday. With Pr. Metzger out of town this weekend and Pr. Christ filling in elsewhere, I’ve asked Pr. Hannemann from Ascension Lutheran to fill in. After some discussion with the elders, it seems best for us to hold just *ONE service this Sunday at Trinity at 10am*. We will skip Bible study for the week as well.
Thank God, my symptoms are not so bad—at least, not yet. I’ve had a slight fever on and off and I’m a bit more out of it than usual. You’re free to think of me as one of the lepers that our Lord heals…let’s hope I turn and give thanks to God!
