During the month of March, we will focus on our intellectual well-being.

Intellectual wellness encourages learning, exploring new ideas, developing a better understanding of how you see the relationship between yourself and other. Particularly at this time of continued pandemic and social distancing, there are ways to continue to stimulate our intellectual wellness.

• Read. Pick up a classic or the latest on the bestseller list, fiction or non-fiction. You may similarly enjoy audiobooks, downloadable from the public library.  
• Journal. Write down your thoughts or stories from throughout your life. Consider sharing your legacy with your children and grandchildren in this way.
• Play brain games. Try Sudoku or a Crossword puzzle. Check www.lumosity.com for science-backed brain games.  
• Experience the Fine Arts. COVID has brought the world closer by expanding our online repertoires.
• Attend a virtual lecture. Pick a topic of interest and search for online opportunities.
• Talk. Share ideas and experiences, especially new ones. Consider recruiting a friend to join you in sharing one or more of these intellectual wellness activities.

Each week, we have several opportunities to gather and develop our intellectual wellness. Consider joining together for Sunday Fellowship (10:30am), Sunday Study (11:00-12:00) and/or Monday Bible Study, all virtual through a Zoom link on the Trinity website www.trinitylutherannsb.org

Be well, stay healthy and remember to practice self-care.

What happens if it RAINS? 

If it is raining, or looks like rain is imminent, we will cancel outdoor worship. We will put an announcement on our website by 8 am on Sunday.

The Sunday Study – Sunday mornings at 11:00 am

We are having a guest speaker to wrap up the discussion from Raising Ryland: Our Story of Parenting a Transgender Child with No Strings Attached. This book’s discussion did raise some questions, however, about both why inclusive language is important when talking about God and how do we interpret the passages of scripture that get used against LGBTQ individuals. Pastor Tim will lead these sessions as we study them and learn more about the complex issue of gender identity, sexual orientation, and scripture. Pastor Tim has put together a PDF document that has the scripture lessons we will look at. Please join us!

If you have a book or a study that you would like to propose for our group. We would be glad to consider it. Please send your suggestions to Pastor Tim and he will send them on to the group’s leaders.

3/7         Guest speaker

3/14       Inclusive language for God
