Pastor Trudy's Message

‘Do not fear, but trust.’ Jesus speaks these words to a father whose daughter is either very ill or has recently died (depending on who in the story is telling the truth).  What was Jesus asking for him to trust- that she could be saved? That Jesus was already with her in a different way? More importantly, why does Jesus name fear, not heartbreak or sadness? Let’s ponder together this weekend.

Mighty God, You tell us not to fear, but to trust. Trust You in our heartbreak, in our sadness, in our joys and in our fears. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Why does Jesus sometimes ask people not to tell about what He has done?

• Leif Abrahamson and family as he prepares for the next steps in his treatment
• Fr. Bakkelund and the St Peter Catholic Church community
• Those struggling with seasonal depression
• Those who are affected by the cold and inclement weather. May they find warmth and safe spaces within the community

Thanks so much to all who joined us at Feed My Starving Children last Wednesday. We had almost 90 people from GLC which included our Confirmation students who also presented a check for over $1200 that was raised during the live nativity. Click the GLC Faces of Faith link below to see pictures!
