“From the Pastor’s Desk” is a collection of thoughts from Trinity Lutheran’s Senior Pastor Steve Wold, which appears in every edition of the church’s monthly newsletter, The Messenger (also available online on our homepage www.trinitymhd.org).
In addition to his monthly musings, “Trinity Talk” offers additional insight from Pastor Steve concerning issues surrounding Trinity in a short Q & A.
What is your favorite part about the fall in the church?
“My favorite part of the fall is Reformation Sunday! The hymns are wonderful, the gospel gets preached with great vigor and we even have a Reformation Party in the afternoon and I get to play the part of Luther’s four year old son, Hans.”
With all the recent controversial discussions within the ELCA, how do you feel it will affect Trinity Lutheran Church and those surrounding ELCA member churches?
“I am very pleased with the Bible-based, Christ-centered responses of the members of Trinity to the ELCA statement on sexuality. They have demonstrated a great measure of faith, patience and love as they have agreed to disagree. Respecting the ‘bound consciences’ of other members is a challenging assignment and we have done it well. Last week, the Church Council reviewed pages 10, 11 and 12 of the social statement and found it to be extremely helpful.”
