Join us tonight, Thursday, Feb. 2, for part one of “Why wall street can’t be fixed and how to replace it,” a workshop series sponsored by The Oak Tree. The Oak Tree is a collaborative ministry involving Holy Trinity, Salem Lutheran, and St. Paul’s Methodist.

We are meeting at 5:30pm at Salem Lutheran’s Fireside room (1428 W. Broadway) every Thursday this month. You do not have to come to every session for it to all make sense. Come to as many sessions as you can. The session topics are:

Session 1: Rx Radical Change

Session 2: History and Philosophy

Session 3: Vision of the New Economy

Session 4: Next Steps

After each session we will be continuing the discussion at Charlie’s on the corner of Broadway and Monroe from 7-9pm. Join us for dinner, drinks and discussion even if you cannot make it to the workshops!

lunch and learn: holy trinity book & bible group Starts Tuesday Jan 24, 12:30pm

I’m leaving it up to group members to come up with a snazzier title for this new group. In the mean time, join us on Tuesdays beginning January 24 @ 12:30pm for the inaugural meeting of the most intelligent and insightful people . . . well, at the very least, it will be fun. Together we’ll discuss books and sometimes the Bible–wherever the wind of the Spirit sends us.

Our first book–Take this Bread: A Radical Conversion, by Sara MIles–has garnered rave reviews around our congregation. It’s the story of an unexpected and terribly inconvenient Christian conversion, told by a very unlikely convert, Take this Bread is not only a spiritual memoir but a call to action.
Raised as an atheist, Sara Miles lived an enthusiastically secular life as a restaurant cook and writer. Then early one morning, for no earthly reason, she wandered into a church. “I was certainly not interested in becoming a Christian,” she writes. “Or, as I thought of it rather less politely, a religious nut.”

But she ate a piece of bread, took a sip of wine, and found herself radically transformed.

Bring a sack lunch, an open mind, and a willing heart. Questions? Email kris@trinityspokane.org.

faith in action: tell your state legislators how you feel about the proposed budget cuts

Now is the perfect time to tell your state legislators how you feel about the proposed budget cuts. Writing to your legislators is as easy as clicking here, then clicking on Find Your District and entering your address. The website will tell you who your legislators are (in case you’re not sure) and allow you to send them an email. Legislators do pay attention to input from their constituents, so be sure they know what you want for our state and our fellow citizens.
