Call to Worship Michael McLane, Worship Leader Leader: The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. People: Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. Leader: There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; People: Yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Anthem Sweeter Choir
Scripture Genesis 12:1-4
Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
Confessing our Sin
Holy God, giver of blessings, we thank you for the mercies we know, and we ask your forgiveness when we fail to acknowledge you as the source of all that is good.
When we hoard your gifts, When we say, “that’s mine,” When we ignore the bounty around us, When are blind to the good, Forgive us. Help us to share, to see, to live gratefully. Through Christ we pray. Amen. 1 (followed by silent prayers)

Revelation 7:9-12 9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 10They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
‘Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!’ 11And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, 12singing,
‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might
These things I do not know: The sound of a bullet. The power of a blast.
The blood of a comrade. The depth of your wound.
The terror at midnight. The dread at dawn.
Your fear or your pain.
These things I know: The sound of your honor.
The power of your courage. The blood of your wound.
The depth of your strength. The terror that binds you. The dread that remains.
Your dignity and your valor.
For these things we pray: The sound of your laughter.
The power of your voice. The blood of your yearning. The depth of your healing.
The joy that frees you. The hope that remains.
Your wholeness and your love.
To the Soldier, To the Veteran

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.
A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.
Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education
9:00 & 10:35: Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. The sign-in sheet at both hours is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes every Sunday and pick them up promptly after worship. This is particularly important after the 9 am service so our teachers can put away materials and set up for the 10:35 class. Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.
Adult Christian Education Sunday morning and Midweek opportunities are available; check the calendar or contact Robin Olschner for details ([email protected])

October Financial Update – all numbers are year-to-
date as of October 31, 2016. Operating Building Year to Date Income $319,997.42 $36,408.02 Year to Date Expense -$324,317.84 $37,702.70 2016 Surplus -$4,320.42 -$1,294.68
For the 2016 financial year, we are still running a deficit for the year in our Operating Budget. We also have a small deficit in Building Fund. Combined, these two
deficits represent the church’s total short fall when comparing giving and income versus expenses. As we enter this thanksgiving season we are grateful for the generous and faithful giving of the Trinity Family. Join us asking how God might help our church to finish the year well!
