WELCOME TO TRINITY! We are very happy that you are here to worship with us today. Trinity Lutheran Church and Preschool 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.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 IS THE DEADLINE FOR SPACE USAGE REQUESTS - As of September 1st, all space requests for the 2010-2011 year must be arranged with Margaret. As we grow, more and more groups are meeting at Trinity. Whether you are a new group seeking space or an old group who has been meeting for years, you must contact Margaret to insure that space will be available for you. We are thrilled to have this problem at Trinity as we use all of our resources to their absolute capacity to serve God and our community.

DORCAS GUILD - will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 7th at 6:30PM in the Trinity Center for a salad supper and the first meeting of the 2010-2011 year. All ladies of Trinity are invited to attend. Please feel free to invite a friend for an evening of Christian fellowship and fun.
