Welcome

Trinity Lutheran Church is a member of the Central Illinois District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. As Lutherans, we in the LCMS share a strong belief in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired inerrant Word of God. It is by God's grace alone, through our faith worked in us by the Holy Spirit, that we believe in Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.

New Book Study
Thank, Praise, Serve, and Obey: Recovering the Joys of Piety
Beginning Sunday, June 2, please join us in the fellowship hall every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. as we learn eight godly habits of the baptized child of God. This study won't give you a check box of more things you have to do in order to please God. God is already pleased with you for Jesus' sake! This study, rather, will seek to help you in cultivating the new life which God has given you to live in Christ. If you would like a copy of the book Thank, Praise, Serve, and Obey, please simply bring $12 to our first class on June 2. If you would like to join the study but cannot afford a book, please speak with Pastor Raddatz!

Vacation Bible School at GSLS
June 2-6, 2019 - 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Sign-up will begin soon for Vacation Bible School. Once again we are combining with St. John’s Pekin and Sand Prairie to have one joint VBS at Good Shepherd Lutheran School. At VBS your child will explore God’s miraculous mission and learn about His plan of salvation from creation to the cross!
At Miraculous Mission, every lesson connects to Jesus.

Soles 4 Souls
On Sundays, June 9 & 16, we will be collecting gently worn and new shoes. There will be a box in Room 10 for donations. Soles 4 Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides
relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. They distribute the shoes donated by retailers and churches to people in need and in times of disaster. They also work with non-profit organizations to get shoes to those who need them the most, all around the world. Last year we sent over 80 pairs of shoes to Soles Û Souls, so, please take a minute to look in your closet and bring in any new or gently used shoes to help someone in need.

Trinity Fish Fry/Potluck - Saturday, July 6 - 4:00 p.m.
On Saturday, July 6 at 4:00 p.m. we will have a fish fry. It will be held at the church in the yard between the church and the parsonage. Please bring a dish to share and chairs to sit in. The fish, drinks and table service will be supplied. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board so we know how much fish to prepare.

Attention Veterans
In an attempt to honor any of our members who have served our country in
any branch of the military services, we’d like to compile information on them. This includes everyone, alive or passed away. The type of information needed is: name, alive or deceased, branch of service, approximate dates served, any combat involvement, any special awards received, picture (in uniform or not). This should be turned into the church office. Near Veteran’s Day we hope to have a special display to honor our veteran’s.

New Communion Vessels

We need a lot! Mostly your help!
We are in need of ushers, especially for the 10:45 service. If you are interested in helping out at this service please contact the church office.

We are also in need of drivers to pick up members who need a ride to church. Transportation should never be the reason for someone to miss worship. Call
the church office if you can help.

Greeters are needed too! If you can greet members as they enter the sanctuary please let us know.

We need Bible Breakfast helpers for the 4th Sunday of the month and when there is a 5th Sunday of the month. Please contact the church office at 346-1391 if you can help.
