Please enter the names of your loved ones on the appropriate pages after the names we have already entered of members of the congregation whose baptisms were held here, and members of the parish who died this year.

The officers serving for the next year are: Ann Dungan - President Marilou Doughty - Vice President Lynn Chialastri - Secretary Mike Martorelli - Appointed by council as Treasurer Help Wanted for Food Bank Deliveries There is a team that takes the food donations Trinity provides each month and delivers them to the Daily Bread Food Bank in Collegeville. We currently have the Florigs, the Biggars, Jennifer depaulis and myself doing the deliveries. We are in need of two additional teams (or individuals) for the 2019 calendar year. This would allow each group to make a delivery for two of the months of the year. If you have any interest please let me know so Tom can begin to schedule for the next season. Rick Cole

Word From the Desk of Nina Wason Those of you who know my husband, Paul, might describe him as a man of few words, and in one sense that is quite correct. He isn t a particularly chatty person - I don t think anyone ever feels like they can t get a word in edgewise when they are talking with him. But in another sense, he is a man of many words his active vocabulary (as they say in the education world) is way bigger than average. When we were first dating, I used to give him grief for using words like ubiquitous in normal conversation. Please! I d say, Can we keep words to three syllables when we re in mixed company? Big words can be so off-putting! So when I was reading through this week s lectionary texts (uh oh lectionary = 4 syllables!) the big words jumped out at me. Only they aren t big in the polysyllabic (5!) sense. They are big with meaning. Weighty. Rich. Offering a range of opportunity to the perspicacious reader. (Sorry. I ve been waiting my whole life to use that word in a sentence). Take a look: The prophet Jeremiah gives us a simple review of the way God wants to relate to his people with familiar yet portentous words like covenant, heart, forgive. Romans (yes, this is Reformation Sunday!) is not an easy-read because Paul s idea of sentence structure would not win him any prizes in college application essays. Add to that loaded words like: law, sin, justify, righteousness, grace, redemption, atonement, faith, works. Big meaning right there, though none requiring more than three syllables. In the gospel, Jesus breaks it down to two of the biggest one-syllable words we know: the truth, will make you free. When we hear these words in their context on Sunday morning, it will be easy, at least for me, to get a little lost in them partly because they are all simple every-day words (well, maybe we don t hear the word sin every day, but we all know it when we see it?), and partly because they are indeed so weighty that we hardly have time to let the meaning of one sink in before the next one comes at us. What to do? Well, maybe we can find some time and space over the next couple of days to let these words speak. To ask ourselves some questions what is God s Covenant with us? What is the Law? Are they related? What does it mean to have faith? Where does it come from? What do I have faith in? What about this business of works? (or deeds ) and what is the relationship between faith and works? What exactly does forgiveness entail between God and me, between others and me? Truth? What is truth? What do I believe is absolutely, always true? How does that make me free? Free to do what? Free from what? Short words, but big ones, and ubiquitous in our readings this week. Let s be predisposed to a vigorous exertion of all our theological perspicacity, OK?
