From the Principal’s Desk… TLCS...UPON THIS ROCK… Jesus Our Rock Cares for You!

“Casting all your anxieties on Him,

because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

“LET GO...LET GOD!” Someone shared this phrase with me a while back. You may have even been the recipient or maybe you have shared it with someone else. Whatever the case may be, it is a solid example of the scripture text above. However, I must confess that I am not very good at following this wise advice! Our lives today are filled with anxiety, worry, and doubt in all forms. God shares the message from Peter to encourage all of us to throw all our worries upon Jesus. Where it seems so encouraging to do, the fact remains that it just does not seem to work. For some, they try, but it doesn't seem to help or solve the immediate problem. And they begin to worry more about their worries. We often find ourselves worrying about things that cannot be changed, have not even happened yet, or most likely will not happen. We worry about our health, finances, what we don’t have and would love to possess. We become anxious about our children, their future, and the assurance that they will be successful. We seek that assurance and even want a little guarantee as security.

We don’t want to worry, but we don’t know how not to! The answer today is not a easy one to grasp, but it does give us the solution to the problem. Don’t worry because God cares for you! There it is...that simple! It is proven in that Upon this Rock Jesus cares for YOU! God knows we will continue to worry about all sorts of things. It is our sinful, human nature, but He also tells us to come to Him. To LET GO and LET HIM take care of us. That is what we do each day here at Trinity. We share His forever love as we cast all our anxieties on Him. What a partnership we share as we are privileged and blessed to come to Him daily and not worry! Blessings on our journey together as we LET GO...&...LET GOD! Serving Our Master Teacher, Rick Ryan, Principal

P.T.L. News … Scrip News Flash: Trinity’s Scrip Sales Day…Each Wednesday Morning!

Do you have routine prescriptions you fill every month? Consider using Scrip cards for these expenses that come around each month. We have cards for CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Walmart/Sam's. Do you shop at Sam's once a month for basic household items? Take a $100 Walmart card with you for your purchases. Each time you buy a Scrip card for your normal purchases, you get the full value of money you would have spent anyway, and the school earns money as well! We will be ordering new library furniture soon with proceeds from the Scrip program, as well as a video information board for the front of the school! Our Trinity Tigers are the winners with Scrip! Thank you for your continued support of this program. Remember, our Scrip table is open every Wednesday morning before school starts or you can contact the school office or Contact Kara Starbuck at 352-5263 for more information of how you can place an order now!
