The Lord is patient toward you,
not wishing that any should perish,
but that all should reach repentance.

WELCOME TO TRINITY! We are very happy that you are here to worship with us today. Trinity Lutheran Church and Nursery School believes that we are called to be "ALWAYS GROWING IN CHRIST" and we want to do everything possible to help you grow. We pray that the Gospel you hear today will take root in your life and do just that, grow.

The Lord's Table: We believe that the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion) is the real body and blood of Jesus Christ, given to us in a supernatural way in, with and under the bread and the wine for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith. If you believe likewise, please join us at the altar when it is time to celebrate this holy meal. If you are unsure as to whether or not to commune with us, please speak with the pastor before worship.

Attendance on Saturday 28, communed 21; Sunday 176, communed 142
Offerings: Capital Improvement: $324.00; Adopt-A-Student: $60.00
Needed per Sunday: $7618.00, Received last Sunday: $6631.05

There is a cry nursery available every Sunday during the late service and during the Christian Education Hour for pre-school age children and younger.

TODAY IS LWML SPRING MISSION SUNDAY! Stop by the Trinity Center and have a cup of coffee and pastry on us. Remember to place your envelopes, checks or cash donations in the LWML door collection that will be taken after each service. The English District LWML is hoping that through mites and Mission door collections, we will be able to raise the $3,500 needed to make our mission goal.
