SOCIAL MEDIA TRAINING CLASS Sunday, February 9 Noon-1:30 pm
Held in the FLC (Please join us, even if you did not attend the class in November)
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn…. Are you interested in learning how (or improving on current usage) to use some of the current social media sites? Julie Nemeth will lead this class along with some of our youth for one-on-one training.
Participants should bring a charged device that they would normally use for social media interactions.
Our hope is the more individuals we can train, the more individuals we have to digitally spread the goodness occurring at St. Trinity.

Serving the Lord this Week
Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” We cannot keep the Law of God perfectly. We are sinners. For us to be saved, Jesus had to fill up the Law in our place. Now the threat of the Law is abolished – and the Law itself is upheld. For in Christ now we do desire to fulfill the Law, to live out a godly Christian life – precisely because we are so full of thanksgiving toward God for His salvation in Christ.
