In another passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus, the light of the world, calls his followers to let the light of their good works shine before

1 Announcements February 5 & 6, 2011 Light shines in the darkness for the upright, the psalmist sings. Isaiah declares that when we loose the bonds of injustice and share our bread with the hungry, the light breaks forth like the dawn. In another passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus, the light of the world, calls his followers to let the light of their good works shine before others. Through baptism we are sent into the world to shine with the light of Christ. TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH 508 Center Street Ashland, Ohio Phone trinity@trinityashland.org
