Church Notes for October 11, 2026

 

CHURCH COUNCIL ELECTIONS are coming up and there are openings to serve as follows: Board of Elders (1), Board of Christian Education (2), Trustees (1), Board of Community Outreach (1), Board of Parish Fellowship (1). Please prayerfully consider these openings and if you would like to join one of these boards, please talk to Fred Long, Scott Graham or Linda Thede. 

 

VISUAL FAITH MINISTRY (VFM) theme for 2026 is Sojourn with Jesus: A Year in the Gospels. This month we’ll meditate on Matt. 13:24-30, 26-43, a parable about the kingdom of heaven. All women are invited to a one-hour zoom event on Tuesday, October 13th 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 October 25th will be “When Service Isn’t Sparkly” from the Fall issue of Lutheran Woman’s Quarterly. It is found on pages 18 & 19, in the narthex, and attached to the weekly Notes. Associated scriptures are also available. All women are invited at 8:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. 

 

COMFORT QUILTS—If you have a family member or a friend in need of a comfort quilt, please contact one of the quilters, or take one that is displayed on the bench by the sanctuary.

 

TRINITY IS IN NEED OF MORE COUNTERS – If you would like to count 1 Sunday a month or be a substitute counter; please contact Al Robson, Pastor Martens or Linda Thede. Counting requires two people (couple or 2 friends from Trinity). Training will be provided. Please prayerfully consider serving as a counter. 

 

NOVEMBER sign-up sheet is up!   If there are any Sundays in November that you will not be available to volunteer, please write your name on those week(s), or send Linda a note. Thank You!

 

Building Healthy Families: Friday, October 16 is “National Boss’s Day”, which reminds us of a biblical truth that applies every day of the year: God calls us to honor those in authority. Children learn this not only from what we teach but from what they hear us say about employers, teachers, leaders, and others in authority. Consider how your words do (or don’t) model respect and gratitude for the children in your household. www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service 

 

PHOTOS: If you have any photos to share of a Christian event, please email them to Linda at email: tlcoffice@netins.net. Don’t forget to give information about what and who the picture is of.  Thank you for your help on this. 

 

JESUS BRACLETS!  Many requested the materials and they are in the room across from the office.  Please stop in and help yourself to beads, string and all the things you need.
