help. Men – Breakfast is at 8am!
Calling all ding-a-lings - We are looking for a few ringers to play

Community Dinner at Trinity Lutheran , Every Tuesday
at 5:30pm
Please invite friends and neighbors to share in a hot, nutritious
meal and warm company each Tuesday night. Please call Trinity at
623-8813 by Mon afternoon to reserve a spot.
Lenten Study
You are invited to a Lenten Study
on Thursday nights starting at 6:30 with a light meal in the Office
Annex. Lent is a time to go deeper into our relationship with God.
Many times we say simple statements about God like: “God loves me”
or “I accept Jesus” without realizing the great power and importance
of our beliefs. This year’s Lenten program will focus on basic
beliefs of our Christian faith. Whatever your experience or
background, join us as we eat and ponder simple statements that have
deep meaning. Thursdays in Lent up to Maundy Thursday.
Lenten Community
Lunches are held each Wednesday through Lent at Trinity Lutheran.
Lunch begins at 12n with a brief devotion from an area pastor.
