I have returned the Call to serve at Northdale and will continue my ministry at the TriParish. Please continue praying for our ministries here and there. God’s blessings. — Pastor Jason Liebenow
Northdale Lutheran Church in Tampa, FL has called me to serve them as a Spanish-speaking pastor for their mission enhancement. I will spend some time learning about their ministry, deliberating, and praying about where I can best serve the Lord and his people. Please be praying for our ministries here at the TriParish and at Northdale and if you have any thoughts to share, feel free to reach out to me. God’s blessings! — Pastor Jason Liebenow
Due to cold temperatures, St. Paul’s and St. Mark’s will not have service on Jan 19, 2025.
Pastor Liebenow made a poor statement at St. John’s this Sunday. He said the goal of our outreach is not to invite people to church. For clarification, the goal is to make disciples of Jesus. Church attendance is a part of being a disciple, but it is not the only part and not necessarily the starting point. As we talked about in the sermon, the purpose of church attendance is giving all honor and glory, but many believe the purpose of church is feeling good, which can be done in many other ways. For that reason, it can be more helpful as a starting point to invite people to study the Scriptures with you or to have a spiritual conversation. It can also be more valuable to ask people if they have a pastor rather than if they have a church, as most people have no one who cares for them spiritually.

God’s blessings! Steve Zambo of Salty Earth Productions is filming a movie about the life of Pastor Rosenau, a detective who ended up being a pastor. They will be working in Florence next week and are looking for people who can be extras in the movie to fill in the background. They need kids tomorrow, Sunday the 17th, for some Sunday School scenes. They will need people from 11am-1pm. They also need people on Wednesday the 20th between 10am-4pm or 2pm-4pm at St. John’s. For that one people can dress as they would for church. They also need people for a wedding scene on Friday the 22nd at the Encore Ballroom in Florence from 4-8pm. They wanted people to dress nicer for that one as if you were attending a wedding and they will provide a meal for that one. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out!
Join us this Sunday (7/23) for our TriParish Picnic!
