Trinity joins 2.444 Lutheran schools across the U.S. in celebrating the unique quality of a Lutheran Christian education! Special activities each day of the week emphasize this year’s theme: Securing each child’s future… for a life of service.

Sermon: 2nd Sunday in Lent – “Congruence”

Pastor Berteau talks in his message today about matching words and deeds – and that the Word is Jesus Christ.

Sermon: Trusting who’s in charge

Webmaster — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:34:43 +0000

Pastor Berteau gives a particularly poignant sermon as we move towards issuing a call for a permanent pastor here at Trinity.

Sermon: The Transfiguration of our Lord

Webmaster — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:24:48 +0000

On this Transfiguration Sunday, which also happens to be Valentine’s Day, Pastor Berteau talks about God’s greatest Valentine and the gift Jesus gave to us by coming down from the mountain.

Lent begins this week

Webmaster — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:07:33 +0000

The season of Lent is once again upon us as we prayerfully remember the sacrifice Christ made for our salvation.

Please join us 5:30 p.m. Tuesday for our annual Pancake Supper and Wednesday at 7 p.m. for the imposition of Ashes.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. In effect, the Ash Wednesday Service sets the scene for the forty days of reflection to follow. It is a service of great moment. As is our custom, during the evening service, ashes made from palms from the previous Palm Sunday are placed by the pastor on the foreheads of worshipers in the sign of the Cross.

We are reminded that we are human and therefore will ourselves return to dust.

Ash Wednesday thus allows us not to retreat from life, but to begin to once again recognize the profound gift of grace and new life that we find in Jesus. It is a way of recognizing that the love of God is real and the beginning of a meaningful life.

Directions

Call Meeting and Call Service on Feb. 21 and 27

Jim Hoeft — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:01:09 +0000

I am pleased to announce that the Trinity Call Committee has completed the interview process for potential pastors and now is prepared to share with the congregation the names of pastors who will be presented to the congregation for the call.

* Call Information Meeting *

On Sunday, February 21, there will be a Call Information Meeting following the late service. The Women’s League of Trinity will provide a light lunch in Belvedere Hall where brief biographical information of the final candidates will be distributed. The Call Committee members will answer any questions concerning the call process and the pastoral candidates. More extensive candidate information is still available for viewing in the church office. Please contact Anne Combes (tlc@trinitylutherannorfolk.org) for an appointment if interested in viewing the documents. Child care will be provided by Trinity’s Youth Group for this meeting.

Please note that this is an information meeting only and is NOT the call service.

* Call Service *

At 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 27, Trinity Lutheran Church will have a Call Service in the sanctuary. At this service, Communicant Members of Trinity will determine by ballot which pastoral candidate will be issued a call. Only Communicant Members of Trinity Lutheran Church will be issued ballots. Child care will be provided for this service by Trinity’s Youth Group.

This is always an exciting time in the life of a church, so I look forward to seeing all of you next Sunday and the following Saturday. Please continue to pray for the candidates, the call committee, and that God’s will be done as we discern who He has already chosen to be our next pastor.

- Jim Hoeft, president

Webmaster — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:55:59 +0000

Because church has been canceled for tomorrow due to the inclement weather, Pastor Berteau has shared his sermon via text.

Also, please take a few moments to conduct the readings: Jeremiah 1:4-10; 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 13:13; Luke 4:31-44

And, here is the collect:

Almighty God, You know we live in the midst of so many dangers that in our frailty we cannot stand upright. Grant strength and protection to support us in all dangers and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen.

Enjoy your weekend and may God bless you!
