The Next LifeLight Bible Study Begins Oct. 11

Trinity’s regular LifeLight bible class has resumed after a summer break. We will be finishing the study of the book of John and will begin a new 9 week course on Oct. 11. The next course will be on Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. Please join us on Tuesdays at one o’clock in the Welcome Center.

Consecration Sunday is September 11!

This Sunday we will have our annual Consecration Sunday-the day that we bring our promises of support for God’s work through His church at Trinity.

This year is a little different than in the past because of TLC for TLC. We are not asking for increases in your regular giving. Instead, we are asking that you maintain your previous giving level then make a pledge to TLC for TLC.

TLC for TLC is a five year fund drive to address the renovation needs of the building and to fully fund Trinity’s ministry to our community. Our goal is to raise $400,000 over the next five years.

That may sound like a lot but it works out to just $16 a week per average adult that worships at Trinity! Now, we’re not saying you have to give and extra $16. Some will give more and some will give less. But, for the purpose of doing God’s work in Norfolk and beyond we pray that everyone will be generous in their pledges!

New Bible Class Offered on Fridays!

Pastor Smith will be leading a new Bible class on Friday mornings at 8:15am in the Extended Care Room. We will be discussing relevant Biblical topics. Bring your Bible (and a cup of coffee if needed). We hope to see you there!

New Adult Bible Class!

There will be a new Adult Bible Class at Trinity stating Sunday!

John Butcher will be leading the new class called, “Lutheran Spirituality.”

Lutheran spirituality? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

No!

Come and learn from John as he leads you through a new study by CPH that shows the unique spirituality of the Lutheran faith.

The class will meet Sunday mornings from 10:00am to 10:45am.

You can also join one of the two continuing Adult Bible Studies.

Pastor David Smith is in the Sanctuary from 9:45am-10:45am for an interactive verse by verse study and application from one of the Bible passage readings for Sunday.

Ralph Knorr is in the Library from 10:00am-10:45am with a study about key people from the Bible called, “A Time to Laugh, A Time to Cry.”

Have you asked yourself that question lately but don’t know what to do?

Watch this video by LCMS President Rev. Matthew Harrison. Then go to the Japenese Earthquake Relief page to see what you can do.

Prevent Cholera in Haiti

Simple things can make big differences. For malaria, it’s a net. For cholera, it’s a water filter.

Each filter costs $30 and can provide a family of six with clean water for up to five years, as long as the filter is cleaned with a bleach and water solution, according to information provided by Lutheran Church Charities. Cholera, which is spread through contaminated water and food, is a preventable and treatable disease.

New Youth Group!

That’s right, there’s a new youth group starting at Trinity. 4th and 5th grade age children will now have the chance to experience Jesus and what it means that He died for us and we’re Christians.

There will be Bible time, snacks and games.

We’ll meet in the school library on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month at 3:00pm when Trinity Lutheran School is open.

Questions? Call the church office or e-mail Pastor David Smith at dwsmith78@hotmail.com.
