• YOUTH CABIN TRIP

  Attention interested youth! DCE Lisa and her family have cabin property in Aitkin, MN. She has reserved the cabins from August 9-11 and would like to take a group of youth from Trinity during this time frame. This will be for any youth entering 5th grade and up. Youth are invited to also bring one friend if they would like. There are 2 cabins on the property so if there are both male/female youth attending, we will be able to separate them for sleeping arrangements. Also, Lisa would like having a parent or two joining as chaperones and relationship building with the youth. The total cost per person would be $20. This cost includes transportation, meals from Sunday supper through Tuesday brunch, and a small cabin association fee. The youth would also need some extra money to eat lunch at a fast food restaurant on Sunday during the drive to Aitkin. The group would leave the church on Sunday, August 9 at 11:00 am, stop on the way for a fast food lunch, and arrive at the cabin at about 3 pm. They would return at about 2pm Tuesday afternoon (after brunch, cleaning, and pack-up). The property has a pontoon boat, a canoe, and a rowboat. The lake is great for swimming and fishing. And PLEASE note...if the cost would prohibit anyone from participating, let Lisa know. She has plans of making that work out. Contact DCE Lisa if you are interested in attending and she will provide the permission form and packing list.

   

   

• SMALL GROUP - ZOOM STYLE

  You are invited to be a part of a Trinity Zoom Small Group where we will get together and study "Cultivating Faith - A Christ-Like Servant Leader Journey".  This is an 8-week study with the option of continuing on the another study after this one is completed.  There is not a whole lot of 'work' involved.  The dates/time are flexible right now, depending on interest and availablity.  If you are interested in more details, please contact Lisa Martinson.

• WORSHIP HERE AT TRINITY

  We have resumed regular worship services while still practicing precautions due to the virus.  There will be communion services and steps will be taken to clean both the chapel and the sanctuary following the services.  Those who feel ill or are displaying any symptoms of the virus are asked to refrain from attendance until they have recovered.  If you are in an at-risk group, please consider your health.  If you attend worship, you will not be turned away.  However, do not feel obligated to attend worship at this time.  We will continue online services.

• VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

  The directors of VBS have made the difficult decision to cancel Vacation Bible School this summer here at Trinity.  They feel that it would be difficult to hold VBS as we usually do things.  They are trying to come up with an alternative to substitute this with at a later date.  Keep watching the website and the weeklies for further updates.

• MAIN STREET LIVING CONTINUES

  The time for Main Street Living now begins at 9 am on Sunday mornings.  This is an LCMS program that features a 30 minute broadcast of a reproduction of the Lutheran Hour Ministries show made popular in the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s “This Is The Life” and a 30 minute modified worship service, which begins at 9:30 am.  The program is aired on WFTC, channel 29/9-2 from the Twin Cities and is totally funded by viewers and others.
