No Sunday School - No Problem!

It's spring break and Sunday School is on hold for a couple of weeks. There's no better time for a planned Family Devotional to recognize the Holy Trinity. As HTLC prepares to celebrate it's 60th Anniversary as a congregation in Chandler, continue the conversation in your home and talk about God the father, Jesus -His son, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Sunday is March 16th, the day before St. Patrick's Day.

The holiday recognizes St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland.

The Holy Trinity is represented in this shamrock craft with symbols depicting Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit.

How about a tasty treat to celebrate the Holy Trinity?

ST. PATRICK'S PRAYER

St. Patrick's prayer for the faithful captures the wonderful spirit that
made him Ireland's patron saint and one of the Church’s most beloved missionaries.
In this prayer he asks for God’s help in various ways:
May the Strength of God pilot us.
May the Power of God preserve us.
May the Wisdom of God instruct us.
May the Hand of God protect us.
May the Way of God direct us.
May the Shield of God defend us.
May the Host of God guard us.
Against the snares of the evil ones.
Against temptations of the world 
May Christ be with us!
May Christ be before us!
May Christ be in us,
Christ be over all!
May Thy Salvation, Lord,
Always be ours, This day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen.
