A New Mission In A Historic Place
Ministries at Trinity Lutheran Church
Trinity is blessed to have a a ministry of devoted servants who care for our altar and communion service. Meeting semi-annually, the Altar Guild is a service ministry who chose this activity to serve Christ and the congregation. They faithfully and reverently prepare the house of the Lord for scheduled worshipp services. Altar Guild members serve for regularly scheduled Sunday services and other services such as funerals, weddings and other special service. Their duties include cleaning and properly preparing the chancel, altar and baptismal font. They insure that all the items needed and used during the service are prepared and properly place. They change the paraments (altar, pulpit, lectern linesn) to match the appropriate season of the church year. The Altar Guild sets the weekly table for Holy Communion and insures that clean linens are available as required. The ministry was formed with the purpose of serving the Lord and witnessing the Savior's love by means of this service. Their dedicated labor helps to preserve and enhance the beauty of God's worship .
If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Christian Education is the very heart of the church, In the educational process the Spirit of God encounters people of all ages so that they are nurtured in faith, grow in knowledge and experience, and are inspired and empowered to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. This call to discipleship compels us to share our faith and serve others in the home, the community, and in god's world. After worship, the primary calling of the church is to teach about our God. Trinity's Statement of Mission emphasizes this role, as does our Christian Education efforts.

Connected with and central to everything we do, worship unites us in celebration, engages us in thoughtful dialogue and helps us grow in faith. It grounds us in our Christian andLutheran roots, while demonstrating practical relvance for today's world. Sunday Worship Service is 11:00 am, and include the celebration of Holy Commuion. As Christians we are called to Word and Sacrament, and we are encouraged to partake in the Sacrament of holy Communion as often as possible.

Evangelism
Prayer Request
Know that there will be someone praying for your request. There is no request too small to ask.
Stewardship is Christianity in practice. It is responding with re and love to the abundance that God has given us. It is what we do after we say, "I believe." It is our daily response to God's grace. We encourage good stewardship of all that we have been given, our time, our talents, our money, our possessions, and the resource of the natural world. Scripture says, 'We love because God first loved us.' We respond and share our gifts out of love, and out of commitment to the Great Commission.
‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ -- Matt. 25:37-40 Social Ministry In thankful response to God's love and grace, the Trinity community strives through Social Ministry to care for our neighbors and the earth, to promote social justice, and to share Christ's love through the seven practives of discipleship. The mission of the Social Ministry is to coordinate efforts of the church to give both locally and globally, in the name of Jesus, to support others in times of need.
