BIBLE STUDY
There will be Adult Bible Study this Sunday, December 8th, at 9:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. We will be discussing Matthew 5:13-20. Among the questions we may discuss are the following: What does it mean to be "the salt of the earth" (Matthew 5:13)? Can salt lose its taste and, if so, how? What does it mean to be "the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14)? What is the source of that light? What does Matthew 5:16 say is the purpose of letting your light shine before others? Why do you think Jesus uses these metaphors of salt and light? What does Jesus mean when He says in Matthew 5:17 that He came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it? How is it possible to have a righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20)? All are invited to come for coffee, a light breakfast, interesting conversation and great fellowship.
BOOK CLUB
The next Trinity Book Discussion will be held on Friday, December 13th, at 7:00 p.m. at the home of Robin and Warren Kleeman, 79 Witch Hazel Drive, Deep River. We will be discussing "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens. This novel, which has topped the New York Times fiction bestseller list for many weeks in 2019, is an ode to the natural world, a coming of age story, and a tale of possible murder. All are invited to the book discussion, even if you haven't read the book. There are always drinks and nibbles, as well as great discussion and camaraderie.
Please let Robin or Warren Kleeman or Diane or Mike Macris know if you plan to attend (even if you are a regular attendee) so that we will have some idea of how many will be there.
The next book we expect to read is "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens.
