At Trinity Lutheran Church LCMS we believe, teach and confess that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Lord, and that through faith in Him we receive forgiveness of sins, eternal life and salvation. Being "Lutheran", our congregations accept and teach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teachings of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Word alone.
Grace Alone
Salvation is the free gift of God's grace for Christ's sake alone.
Faith Alone
Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers.
Word Alone
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ.
In Christ's Service,
Rev. Dr. Brent Klein
Rev. Dr. Armand J. Boehme

VOTERS PACKET ARTICLE
Please note that the deadline to submit articles to be included in the Voters’ Packet is approaching. The deadline is November 3 and the Voters’ Assembly Meeting is November 22, following the 10:00 am Worship Service.
ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
November 1st is All Saints’ Sunday, when we give thanks to God for all those who have died confessing Jesus as their Savior. As part of the service, we will read the names of those members of Trinity who fell asleep in Jesus since the last All Saints’ Sunday. If you would like the name of a friend or loved one who died in Christian Faith also included in this remembrance, please contact the church office.
BIBLE CLASS
Beginning on October 18, the Sunday morning Bible Class will not meet following the worship service due to the addition of a second service. The Tuesday evening Bible Class will start up again at 6:30 pm beginning October 20.
BOOK CLUB RESUMES
The book club will begin meeting again on the first Monday of the month at 10:00 am. They will now be meeting at the church in the fellowship hall to allow for distancing. Here is a list of the upcoming books that will be read.
November 2 - "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens
December 7 - "The Dutch House" by Anne Patchett
January 4 - "Evidence Not Seen" by Darlene Rose Diebler
FUEL YOUTH NIGHTS
FUEL (Faith Used in Everyday Life) Youth Nights will be the 2nd & 4th Sunday evenings and will be held in person, outside if possible. If the group must meet inside, the mask (youth are asked to bring one with them just in case) and social distancing guidelines will be followed. Please see the full schedule in the Sept. Newsletter or on the website. This evening’s youth night will be fun relationship building activities.
WORSHIP HAS CHANGED AT TRINITY
Starting on October 18th, Trinity will have two Sunday morning worship services. The first will be at 8:45. The order of worship will remain the same as it has since late May. The second service will be at 10:00. We will sing three hymns at that service. Following the service, we will have a brief meeting to discuss where the group would like to proceed from there. We will continue with this schedule until further notice. If you have any questions, please ask either an elder or Pastor Klein.
MS & HS SUNDAY YOUTH
The MS and HS Sunday School class that has begun on Sunday morning following the 9:00 am Worship service will be changing time beginning today. Since the Worship services will be taking up most of the morning, DCE Lisa will be having devotion with these youth at around 9:40 am, which will last about 15 min, in case the youth will attend the 10:00 am Worship service. The FUEL Youth events will be unchanged.
CHRISTMAS BEARS
Due to the uncertainty by Castle Rock Bank on their ability to get teddy bears to dress up for needy children for Christmas, we have decided to not participate in this mission. Hopefully by next Christmas things will be closer to normal. Board of Missions
FALL CAR CRUISE
Trinity members and friends enjoyed a very colorful car cruise on Sunday October 11th. They cruised through Northfield, Dundas, Millersberg, Lonsdale, and Webster before returning to Northfield. This congregational event was held in lieu of the car show that could not be held this year because of the pandemic. The 6 cars Bob Davies (63 Ford convertible), Buzz Cummins & Eileen Hachfeld (56 Thunderbird), Chris and Caroline Bussmann (56 Thunderbird), Sid and Betty Sorbo (53 Hudson Jet), Craig and Kathy Schuster (Cadillac Ambulance), and Pastor and Judy Boehme (07 Shelby Mustang) were joined in mid cruise by a 65 Shelby Cobra. The tree colors were spectacular. It would appear that our gracious God enabled all the leaf colors to appear at once - hence the brilliant reds, maroons, yellows, browns, golds, oranges, and greens all mixed together in a display of beauty rarely seen. This beauty is a contrast to what our country and the world are now experiencing. Truly our God and the beauty of His love and grace are ours. The cruise concluded with a prayer of thanks to God for the beauty displayed, for safety on the cruise, and for the blessings of God’s grace and mercy to us all.
