This Wednesday, June 15th, Trinity Lutheran Church will be holding an event to benefit the Norfolk Food Bank. An evening for the whole family will begin at 6:00 with a hot dog supper, followed by a short devotion by Pastor Smith. Finally, some volunteers will be collecting donations from the neighborhood, picking up food items left on front porches for the Food Bank. We are also requesting that members of Trinity bring non-perishable food items Wednesday evening or to church this coming Sunday (June 12) to contribute to this cause. There will be no charge for supper. Instead, we will ask for a free-will offering to cover the cost.

He will be the preacher at both services and lead a special Bible Class in the Sanctuary for all the adults where you can ask him all sorts of questions! (The three regular Bible classes will not meet.)

Make time this weekend to come worship God and hear about the life of a future pastor and his family.

If you haven’t already signed up, don’t worry—the first class is free, and if you like what you see, you can sign up at a discount for the rest of the course. Registration normally costs $199, but if you register for you membership through Trinity, it’s only $100. You save $99!

The full course lasts 13 weeks. Classes will be held Sundays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., except for Easter Sunday and Mothers’ Day. Click here for the full course schedule.

The Sunday School Easter pageant will be at 10:45, so we’re going to need lots of help with the clean-up. Many hands make light work, as they say.

Email Tom if you can help. Thanks!

We are starting a new military ministry and would like to get a picture of all the military that is already a part of the Trinity family. Be in the sanctuary at 9:40am (after first service but before Bible class) so we can get a group picture. You can wear your uniform or come in your civilian clothes. It will also be a chance to talk to Errol Jennings who is heading up this new outreach.

Our next gathering will be February 20. We will watch the film The Social Network. The film is a very clear expression of our culture’s modern day priorities and motivations. It’s also just a great story.

Food for Thought meets the first and third Sundays of each month from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. for dinner and conversation about today’s issues from a Christian perspective.

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.
