Being "Doers", First Chapel of the Year: Photogallery

While the vehicle made its descent down a mountain in Ethiopia, President Steve Timmermans, Ph.D., and his son, returning from a visit to St. Mary’s Church, began a discussion about faith.

Timmermans shared this story with the Trinity community at the first chapel service of the semester, emphasizing the call of Christians to not only accept the Word, but be “doers” of the Word.

In his message, based on James, Timmermans compared faith and active living out of that faith to the growth of a strawberry plant. Just as the plant remains rooted in good soil and sends out runners to take root in other soil, so Christians must remain rooted in God’s Word as they branch out to serve, to work, and to learn.
