CONNECTIONS CLASS Pastor Besel is considering starting a new Connections Class at the end of this month. He is looking at two options, one on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour or secondly, on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM. The class is for people who want to join Holy Trinity, or as an orientation class for new members, or for people who want to review the basics of our Christian faith. If you are interested in this class, please sign up on the bulletin board in the hall by Pastor’s office. Mark if you are interested in Sundays or Thursdays. If both will work for you, please check both. He will make a decision by next week if there is enough interest to have a class.
LIFE QUOTES “What do we teach our little children so that when they are older, sexual promiscuity and abortion will be unthinkable? They are very special because they are created, redeemed, and called.”
*Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former executive director of Lutheran For Life*

TO THINK ABOUT … Christ died – that’s history. Christ died for us – that’s Christianity. Christ died for me – that’s salvation.
TRIP TO ISRAEL Have you had the desire to go to the Holy Land? A trip is being put together by Pam Pickett to go to Israel! The details are not all set but we will be going March 20th-29th, 2018 for 9 days plus/minus travel days. I am in the planning stages so the exact itinerary is not set but all of the major sites will be included. I know the first question you will have is, what is the cost? An estimate at this time is $3,500 per person. This will include, airfare, ground transportation, hotels (4 star hotels), food, site fees, tips – everything except travel insurance and personal shopping purchases. If this number changes it will go down, not up. For example, the larger the group the cheaper the price. If you are interested in going on the trip please let me know. I am gathering a list of people who have interest in order to work with the tour company to finalize prices. I would like to keep this to about 20 people. This will be a teaching tour, at each site we will tie in everything we see to the Bible. My goal is to deepen your personal relationship with God, by coming closer through the land and people of Israel. Thank you, Pam Pickett pamsue27@gmail.com479-601-2550.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
LUTHER QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
But, oh how painful it is to nature reason, that this Canaanite woman shoud strip herself and forsake all that she has experienced, and cling alone to God’s bare Word, until she experienced the contrary. May God help us in time of need and deathe to possess such courage and faith!
(Church Postils, Reminscere)
Someone Who is For You
Some years ago, David Seamands, a Kentucky pastor, told a group of ministers who he had counseled a young woman who was dying. She was not a church member. In fact, she had lived rather loosely, even shamefully, and she knew it. Now that death was staring her in the face, she was feeling guilty. Dr. Seamands listened as she sobbingly confessed her sins to her. When it appears she was finished, the pastor said to her in a very gentle manner, “I want you to know that God is not against you for your sins. God is for you against your sins.”
