Paul wrote in his first letter to the Thessalonians, “We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. ” (1 Thes. 1:2–3, ESV)
As we prepare this week for a Celebration Sunday and our first ONE Conference next Saturday, I am reminded of just how grateful I am for people who have chosen to partner together in ministry. We currently have more than 280 people serving in ministry in various capacities as a church family. We have more than 45 adults who have committed to being part of the launch team for our Ashkum campus. Each and every Sunday we have more than 50 people serving in some type of ministry at our Watseka campus. (It takes a lot of people and effort for the church to assemble in corporate worship.)
I want you to know that our staff and elder teams are praying for you. As part of the body we call Trinity Church I want you to know that I am thankful for you and will be praying 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 for you this week; “remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. ”

I am so thankful for you, Dave, and for the ways in which God has changed my life through His Word and your preaching. Thank you for your faithfulness to your calling and for your commitment to the Trinity Church family. I am more focused now than I have ever been of loving God, loving others and serving the world.
