Church Notes for June 7, 2026

 

“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” – Matthew 10:22 

In faithful endurance, we trust God’s provision and steward our lives with perseverance, knowing He sustains us in all things. 

 

Pray for adding a Director of Children and Family Ministries Please keep Trinity’s leaders in prayer as we discern whether to add a Director of Children and Family Ministries. This role is designed to strengthen our care for children, youth and families, and to support faith formation across generations. May God grant clarity, unity and wisdom as we listen for his direction. Please see the insert for more information.

 

THE VISUAL FAITH MINITRY (VFM) theme for 2026 is Sojourn with Jesus: A Year in the Gospels. In June we’ll mediate on Luke 13:1-9, a parable in which Jesus calls us to live obediently and bear fruit. All women are invited to a one-hour zoom event on Tuesday, June 9 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 June 28th is “How Long, Lord?” from the summer issue of Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. It is found on page 18, in the email boxes in the narthex, and attached to the emailed Weekly Notes. Associated scriptures are also available. All women are invited at 8:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Building Healthy Families: Humility is hard to come by during a difficult conversation—especially when you’re sure you’re right and your husband (or wife, or child, or parent, or co-worker, or neighbor, or pastor…) is wrong. Here are three simple but powerful words to remember that will help when conflict comes in any relationship: I am sorry. Learn from God’s word: “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1 www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service

 

Pastor Dennis says, thank you Pastor Wendzel for leading worship this morning allowing Pastor and Margaret to attend the 125th anniversary of his home congregation Trinity Lutheran in Des Moines.
