August 5 Weekly News


CHURCH PICNIC:  Everyone is invited to our 3rd annual church picnic TODAY after worship.  Help will be needed to put up the canopies - head on down to the north side of the school.



BIBLE STUDY:  What are the three different teachings relative to Holy Communion?  Are there some teachings we don't know about?  Why do we observe closed communion?  This should make for some lively discussion at Pastor Brandt's Bible Study, "The Sacraments," which will begin on Thursday, August 16, in the Fellowship Room.  Call Becky in the church office (342-3516) to enroll.



TRINITY LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL will be holding a Dedication Ceremony and Open House for the new building expansion TODAY at 4:00 PM in the Bollinger Athletic Complex.  Installation of Trinity's faculty and staff for the 2012-2013 school year will also take place during the ceremony.  All are welcome to help celebrate this new chapter in Trinity's history!



STORAGE SPACE of approximately 20'x20' is going to be needed for the organ being donated by Janeen Blomenberg during its restoration.  If you would have space in a barn, shed, or garage, please contact Pastor Cook. 



LWML MISSION MOMENTS:  154 delegates awarded $120,000 in mission grants at the LWML convention in June.  SEED Program for Lutherwood received $6,585 – Receiving 104 votes, this grant to the SEED program (Spiritual Engagement, Education and Development) will help Lutheran Child and Family Services provide intensive spiritual care and counsel for the children at Lutherwood Psychiatric Residential Treatment Center and School for troubled youth and Trinity House group home.  Opportunities for spiritual growth and engagement improve the quality of life these children, ages 6-18 years, who are recovering from the effects of abuse, neglect and mental illness.   Most of these children have not heard of the love of Jesus.
