Be Set Free at TOTH Sunday
By Maryann Blackhart
As you look around, you may see the chaos of too many tasks surrounding you.
Be not afraid. God will set you free from the worldly slavery of “too much.” Too much what, you may ask? At our upcoming Contemporary Service at 6:07 p.m. Sunday, July 14 at Trinity on the Hill (TOTH) Episcopal Church, Rev. Alicia Pope’s homily will be about “Being Set Free in Christ from Perfectionism, Oppression, Impossibly High Standards, and Other Garbage in Our Lives.”

TOTH News:
As Father’s Day approaches, we want to bring attention to God the Father as our parent: our perfect parent. He loves us unconditionally. He always forgives us. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to honor Him, as we should our own parents.
Love brings forth forgiveness and honor—it is the key. Love shines through in our relationships, be it parent to child or friendships. Friendships strengthen our bonds with one another and give us a sense of belonging, a sense of security.
