 The devastation caused by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked Turkey-Syria is heartbreaking, leaving millions with nothing but clothes on their backs. The scale of destruction is overwhelming, and the need is immense. Amidst such devastation, it isn't easy to find hope and optimism. At times like these, we must unite in solidarity and stand for fellow members of the human family in Turkey-Syria. I am encouraging you to support the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program, which is already actively providing the region with emergency aid and short-term recovery. All donations to DR999999-ST Earthquake will benefit the citizens of Turkey-Syria. Through our generous donations as members of Trinity Presbytery, we can provide earthquake victims with the support they need to rebuild their homes and restore their shattered lives. Your contributions can mean life-saving assistance for those affected. The magnitude of destruction created by this earthquake is truly mind-boggling, resulting in more than 41,000 deaths as of February 15, 2023, and many more struggling to start anew. It is in our power to help them to do so. I urge you to donate with a generous heart and help give the people of Turkey-Syria the resources they need to restore hope and recover their shattered lives. Pray to God about what you should give and then donate to DR999999-ST Earthquake. Thank you in advance for your kindness and compassion. Faithfully yours, Danny C. Murphy

 Valentine's Day is Tuesday, February 14, 2023. This is a special day for expressing and celebrating love. It is a day to remind us of the importance of love in our lives and show our loved ones how much we care. But when it comes to love, nothing comes close to the perfection and beauty of Christian love.
Christian love takes its cues from Jesus Christ, who exemplified and taught a type of love that surpassed mere sentimentalism. His love was full of grace and mercy and extended to all of humankind, not just those closest to Him. One of the best examples of Christian love is the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). In this parable, Jesus taught us that true love was an unconditional, sacrificial kind of love that would go out of its way to help and bless those in need, regardless of their social standing. Valentine’s Day can also be a day to celebrate Christian love. On Valentine's Day, we have the chance to spread love and Christian kindness far and wide. To show compassion to those we love and to offer mercy to those who need it most is a beautiful way to honor the special holiday. Our relationships with God are also strengthened as we honor God through acts of thoughtfulness and devotion. Let us use this day to celebrate by offering kindness to all, being generous to the needy, bestowing mercy upon the undeserving, and remembering a love that goes beyond earthly bonds, the unconditional love God offers us every day. Faithfully yours, Danny C. Murphy |
Rev. Dr. Danny Murphy, SR.The ultimate aim of Trinity Presbytery is to equip and empower our member congregations to become communities of faith, hope, love, witness and service, so that those who do not know Jesus might come to know, love and serve him and so that those who do know Jesus might come to love him more intimately and serve him more faithfully.
