Dear Disciples, Fall is officially underway! The kids are back in school and families are stepping back into familiar rhythms. Football season is kicking off and friends will gather in stadiums and living rooms to cheer on their favorite teams. In just a few weeks, the crisp air will move in and the leaves will begin to change. Fall always brings a sense of newness, a sense of getting things moving again, a sense of coming out of the summer beach days and flip flops and re-engaging with a sense of purpose and call. As much as we need that season of rest and abiding and fun that the different pace of summer brings, there’s something exhilarating about stepping into the very things we are created for. That is what this brochure is all about –finding a place to use your God given gifts in the ministry of Trinity. If you have not already identified your spiritual gifts, you can do so by taking a spiritual gifts survey on our website: (www.trinitylansdale.com/spiritual-gifts/). Here you will learn how God has equipped you in order that you can better select the ministry areas at Trinity that will be the most satisfying. Remember “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.” (Frederick Buechner) It is my prayer, my friends, that as we move through this season, we will all experience a renewed since of purpose and call. This will come when we are able to use our God-given gifts to serve others clothed in kindness. As St. Paul said to the Christians in Colossians: So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. (The Message) May our Lord make it so.
The Rev. Paul Lutz, Senior Pastor

Stewardship Ministry
Stewardship is the responsible use and management of what belongs to others, but the concept has monumental implications for Christians. Since we profess that God is the Creator of all that is seen and unseen and that everything ultimately belongs to God. Christian stewardship pertains to the entirety of creation and the totality of our lives. Stewardship at Trinity is divided into five areas – Environmental & Social, Time & Talents, Financial & Material, Wholeness & Wellness, and the Word & Church. Each area has its own cadre of coordinators and ministry opportunities and/or intersects with other ministries at Trinity.
Stewardship of Life Team The Stewardship of Life Team meets quarterly and is a think tank for encouraging and equipping disciples of all ages to grow as whole-life stewards. Teri Lanan [email protected]
Environmental & Social Stewardship This area of stewardship is about valuing and caring for all God’s creation, protecting and sustaining the earth’s natural resources, living lovingly and justly with all of humanity, and working for economic, political, social and ecological justice for all.
