Growing in Abundance

God-of-the-Angel Armies, Israel's God says in Jeremiah 29: 4-14:  Build – Live – Plant – Eat.  We build that others may live.  We plant that others may eat.  Trinity has built an Education Wing, remodeled and updated our building, and added two playgrounds and new landscaping.  We have built on faith that we are following God's plans for us - plans for our wellbeing and our shalom.  We follow Jeremiah's truthtelling that when we build and plant on behalf of others, we will find our wellbeing.  Our shalom in tied together with the shalom of the Topeka community in which we live.  As our community thrives, so will we thrive.
With Little Explorers living in our building and playing on the colorful playgrounds, we see the abundance of seedlings who will someday be bright, stable, contributing sunflowers in our city.  As we see our children and youth thriving in the enriched environment our building and planting provides, we can envision their future as Son-seeking sunflowers.
Having built and planted in faith that God intended this service to our community, it is now our responsibility to eliminate the indebtedness so that we can follow the sun/Son into an even more abundant future.  We raise our alleluias for this continued act of faith that we give so that others may live.  Thanks be to God.


Grace and Peace,
