Church Notes for May 10, 2026

CAMP OKOBOJI – FREE Registration for summer at camp! Members and non-members of Trinity can receive FREE full registration for the camp they choose. This is an outreach to everyone who has an interest in a fun, Christ-centered camp experience. Invite a friend and they can attend FREE also. Please see the insert for more information. 

THE SPRING 2026 GROW & GO CHALLENGE: You are invited to help recognize, celebrate, honor and support the nearly 9000 women married to LCMS pastors, including the one who is part of your own congregation! Lutheran Family Service & The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. Please see the insert for more information. 

VFM ZOOM MEDITATION: The Visual Faith Ministry theme for 2026 is Sojourn with Jesus: A Year in the Gospels. In May we’ll meditate on Luke 12:35-48, a parable about watchfulness. All women are invited to a one-hour event on Tuesday, May 12 at 7:00 p.m. for this unique approach to scripture. We meet in the Fellowship Hall. Please prayerfully consider participating. 

WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY on May 24th is “Overflowing in Comfort” from the Spring issue of Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. It is found on pages 16-17, in the mailboxes in the narthex, and attached to emailed Weekly Notes.

JUNE SIGN-UP SHEET IS UP! If there are any Sundays in June that you will not be available to volunteer for church services, please write your name on those week(s), or send Linda a note. Thank You!

Building Healthy Families: How do you put a mother’s love into words? It’s steady and selfless, quiet yet powerful—woven into everyday moments and lifelong sacrifices. Scripture paints this kind of love in many places, and while 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 isn’t always labeled as a “mother’s passage,” it beautifully reflects what so many mothers live out each day: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Happy Mother’s Day to all women who so lovingly care for their children and others. (P.S. No texting or snapchatting today: call or visit your mother!) www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service
