Weekly Trinity Times March 4, 2010	Tonight, March 4, at 7 pm: In the Light of Reverence - originally broadcast on PBS, this documentary will be shown tonight at 7:00 p.m.. It takes a look at three places considered sacred by Native Americans and poses interesting questions about how people understand the land and religion. Join us in the north parish hall for the film and discussion. More information here. Book Discussion March 18 & 25 at 7 pm: The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne has a foreword by Jim Wallis: “Shane has been experimenting with the gospel in the streets of Philadelphia and Calcutta, in the intensity of Christian community, and even in the war zones of Iraq. In this book, he takes us on pilgrimage with him – sharing his passions while admitting his uncertainties, critiquing his society and the church while admitting his own human frailties and contradictions.” There’s still time to read the book! You will have an opinion! Click here for more information regarding Shane Claiborne from PBS and “Speaking of Faith”.

The concert is free and open to the public. Please plan to attend and bring your friends. Film and Fellowship: Is it possible that Charles Darwin did not write The Origin of the Species just to irritate people for 100 years? The film "Creation" looks at Darwin's struggle to write this earth-changing book. Join us to discuss this film on March 9 at 6:30 in the North Parish Hall. We will also discuss "The White Ribbon," a startling, haunting film about Germany before The Great War. Please bring finger foods for our buffet. Lou Gerteis and Jan Parker will lead the discussion. Next Children's Service is March 14th at 9:15 a.m. Stations of the Cross continue each Wednesday in Lent at 5:30 p.m. through March 31. Hunger Advocacy Day: Catholic Archbishop Dom Camara said: "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist." If you want to ask your elected representatives why the poor have no food, consider attending the Hunger Advocacy Day on Wednesday, March 31. This lobbying event organized by the Missouri Association for Social Welfare will be held in Jefferson City. Their legislative priority is Senate Bill 613, which will reverse the lifetime ban on receiving food stamps for anyone convicted of a drug offense. No other crime (not even murder or treason) is treated this way. Already 36 states have reversed their drug-related food stamp bans, making them eligible for federal food stamp funds. Missouri would receive an estimated $18 million in food stamps if they passed Senate Bill 613. For more information on the legislation or Hunger Advocacy Day, visit www.masw.org. Trinity has long given food to the poor. If you're ready to start asking questions, attend Hunger Advocacy Day. *The terms of the Lilly Foundation* mean that we cannot put the grant online, but a copy is available in the library for those who would like to see it. *Missouri State Sacred Harp Singing Convention:* St. John's United Church of Christ, Pinckney Township MO (Marthasville) Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14th.
