Small Groups

 

Exciting things will be happening this Fall. To kick-off our "Get 'Plugged-In' To The Power of Prayer" Series, we will have a "dinner and a movie night" at church on September 14. We will show the movie "Facing The Giants." The 6 week sermon series will begin the week of Sep 20 & 21, and our small groups will also begin that week. More hosts are still needed for this Fall. Training will be provided. Contact Bob Gordon for more info at bobgordon64@sbcglobal.net.

 

Visitation Ministry

 

The Visitation Ministry is a group of volunteers who give their time during the day or evening to visit the home-bound members of our church. They are there to listen, talk, pray and to be a friend and also to fill a void.  If you or anyone you know at Trinity is home-bound and would enjoy a visit from one of our team members, please fill out the request card found in the Trinity Room hallway and place it in the Visitation Ministry Request Box or contact Jan McKee.

 

Parish Notes

 

A deep thank you on behalf of the Strands and the seminary students at St. Louis for the gracious outpouring of gifts and supplies for the Food Bank at Concordia Seminary. We will continue to collect food items in the Trinity room through Wednesday, September 3. God bless!
