Pastor Ryan at the Trader Joe's Grand Opening in Saint Paul
A lot has been going on since the last time I posted anything. Allow me to give you some updates.
We have been taking advantage of summer in Saint Paul by getting people together for some grilling and outdoor entertainment. At the end of June we grilled out, and at the beginning of July we celebrated Pastor Ryan’s birthday, in order to connect with people who are interested in Trinity City Church (and interested in free food). These events have been a lot of fun, and it is a blessing to hear excitement building about Trinity in the community we are ministering in.
Also, a Trader Joe’s opened in Saint Paul at the end of June. What is the big deal? Well, Pastor Ryan works there and played about 4 hours worth of music during the grand opening. One of the decision we made as pastors of this plant is to work bi-vocationally so that we can connect better with this community. It has been a blessing to do so.
I will post more about this in the future, but last night (Sunday, July 12th) we started our first gathering as Trinity City Church. We did a gathering at Pastor Ryan’s home in Saint Paul, and worshiped Jesus by singing, praying, hearing a message from the Scriptures, and taking communion. A larger than expected group showed up, and Jesus was made much of! I am excited to share some more stories and pictures with you later!
Continue to pray for the work of Jesus through Trinity City Church for the joy of this city!
