Question: When we are again free to mingle with others, what are you looking forward to the most?
I am looking forward to giving and receiving hugs once again from my Trinity family. And singing together!
Watching my parents hug their granddaughter 💜
IOW, pray, but wash your hands.
In these days of concern, hold one another in prayer, particularly remembering health care workers. Trust God’s care and bear God’s peace in these anxious times.
Philippians 4:6-7 - Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Amen 🙏🏽
This is how Trinity staff meets together on a Tuesday morning! #newnormal
Blessings to all. Praying.
