Overhearing my conversations with GodWritten by Naweko San-Joyz
Continued from page 1
In a reminiscent way, I pondered if I had wasted precious moments with God. Even though God is everywhere and ever present, lots of shitty moments with God just seem to add up to shit. At this point, I decided, I have to get real. If I want God to respect me, I need to become a little bit more disciplined and self-contained and not shrill at every little problem that comes my way. Now, when I talk to God, it’s not about trivial Naweko life repeated ad nauseum, but more like thanks God just for being there to listen to me, I need that.

Continued from page 1
Holy Trinity’s “parents” also chose a wise name for our Church: for love of God Father, God Son, and God Spirit, three-in-one; and, Evangelical – to share good news that there is salvation through Christ. In 2 Timothy 4:2, Apostle Paul writes to Timothy: “Preach Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.” In this season of Lent, Easter and soon to follow Pentecost, are we prepared to live up to our middle name and share good news? Like Paul, I encourage you to share with your family, friends and neighbors good news of Christ. Invite them to Holy Trinity “Evangelical” Lutheran Church to hear Word of God that through Christ there is salvation.
