Church Notes for May 5, 2024

 

THANK YOU, Pastor Wendzel for leading the service today while Pastor and Margaret are at the Iowa District West Pastor’s Conference. 

 

THE BLESSING BOX needs for others! The biggest need right now is more casserole type dishes.  There is plenty of freezer space available and please include baking or warm up instructions.  “Thank You” so much for helping to help others in need.  

 

The VISUAL FAITH MINISTRY (VFM) theme for 2024 is Names of Jesus. The name we’ll meditate on in May is Rabboni. This name appears only twice in the New Testament, and is the most honorable of all Jesus’ names. You may be most familiar with Mary saying it at Jesus’ empty tomb (John 20:16). All women are invited to a one-hour zoom event on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:00 pm to learn more about this particular name for our Lord and Savior. We will meet in the fellowship hall to participate together. Please prayerfully consider attending.

 

Volunteer Sign-Up Sheet for June: Please take a look at the board and if there is any day(s) you are unavailable; please be sure to write your name on those dates.  Thank you!

 

Building Healthy Families: Would your mother or father qualify to be in the “Perfect Parents Hall of Fame”? Wait, is there such a thing as a “perfect” parent? Obviously, no. But amazing Christian parents for whom we’re eternally thankful? You bet! This year, from Mother’s Day through Father’s Day, you’re invited to publicly celebrate and honor your (nearly) perfect parents! Starting this week we’ll be accepting and sharing stories (including sentimental, faith-building, life-impacting, and funny ones) and images of our near-perfect parents. If your parents are no longer living but transferred on to heaven, you can still remember and celebrate them. Learn more and hear other people’s stories on Lutheran Family Service’s Facebook (www.facebook.com/lutheranfamilyservice) or Instagram page (@lutheranfamilyservice).

When putting names on the prayer list, we will keep them on there until you let us know that you feel you are ready to have them removed. Please let Darla know by Monday if there are any changes.  If we need to add someone during the week let us know and we will send out an extra prayer request. Thank you for helping with this. 

 

Trinity’s Prayer Team prays together once a week. If you would like to join in, please contact Denny or Mary Merritt at 641-755-2804 or email at merritt278@hotmail.com. We use a free conference phone line so we can pray together by phone, or if you have a specific prayer request and would like individual prayer, please contact one of the four of us who have been praying for Trinity.  Denny or Mary Merritt, Ellie Menz, or Margaret Martens.
