Isaiah 6:1-8 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.’ 4The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. 5And I said: ‘Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!’ 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: ‘Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.’ 8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’
2 Kings 18:28-36 28 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in the language of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!29Thus says the king: “Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand. 30Do not let Hezekiah make you rely on the Lord by saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 31Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: “Make your peace with me and come out to me; then every one of you will eat from your own vine and your own fig tree, and drink water from your own cistern, 32until I come and take you
away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and honey, that you may live and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah when he misleads you by saying, The Lord will deliver us. 33Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered its land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 34Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 35Who among all the gods of the countries have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?” ’ 36 But the people were silent and answered him not a word, for the king’s command was, ‘Do not answer him.’

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
School Year Schedule - 9:00 & 10:35 Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes each week and pick them up promptly following worship. The Sign-in sheet is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall. This is particularly important after the 9 am service so our teachers can put away materials and set up for the 10:35 class.

Reflective Prayer Time
Prayer begins with an affirmation that there is a God and that we can communicate with Him. Christ taught us the value of prayer and quiet
reflection. There were many times that Christ went off to be in solitude and communion with the Father. In our busy lives, we often do not take the time to just be quiet and listen for God.
Come join us for a Reflective Prayer Time. We will start out with a scripture and short meditative reading and spend some time in quiet to reflect on what God may want to share with us. We will end with some sharing and discussion.
Starting February 7 through May 31 room 301 (3rd floor small group room)
Wednesdays - 7 pm and Thursdays - 12:30 pm
Come when you can, come when you feel a need for quiet, come for a closer connection with God.

The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian in Malawi has started an e-book ministry, trying to get electronic resources where theological books are hardest and least likely to reach. If you, or someone you know, has a gently used Kindle, tablet or e-reader that you would like to donate to this program, please let Pastor John know. Your old e-reader can help a pastor in Malawi study and minister.
Many thanks to EVERYONE who helped make Trinity’s hosting of the January Presbytery meeting such a success. Each person played a vital role and our hospitality was well received.
Also, congratulations to our very own Pastor John Anderson; he was installed as Moderator for the Denver Presbytery for 2018. We wish him all the best as he continues to serve the Trinity congregation and the greater church through his work with the Presbytery of Denver.

In 2018 the Presbytery of Denver is “Opening the Doors… and Traveling Together.”
It is our theme for the new year. In real ways we are doing just that! We are opening the doors and traveling together as we search for interim pastoral leadership, relocating our office and for times of
gratitude as we give thanks for the ministry of Jean Demmler, our out-going moderator while welcoming the new moderator. Rev. John Anderson. The doors are open for prayer through the 2018 Presbytery Prayer Guide. We are traveling together with the Leadership Work Group on February 10th as pastors and congregations board a bus to travel into their communities. On February 21st, we are opening the doors and traveling together as we begin lunchtime theological reflection about traveling together to encourage more conversation at assembly meetings. We are opening the doors and traveling together to change lives around the earth through mission partnerships, task forces and covenant communities. You can find out more about all of these at www.denpres.org.
