God's Work. Our Hands.
Sunday, September 10: An opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America -One Church Freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Trinity Lutheran will be participating in this time of service to others. Blessing Bags in conjunction with NAMI will be assembled to assist Hospital North, women’s shelters, Parole and Probation programs. Church and community projects are also in the planning stages. Worship begins at 10 a.m., and then the work begins. Following “work time,” will be a Pot Bless meal in the church fellowship hall. Come join us!
