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.

Thanksgiving Eve Service
Wednesday, November 27 - 7:00 p.m.
Trinity is thankful and blessed to be able to minister to the hungry in our community and also to the area children who are in need of a winter coat. Please help continue this ministry by donating to the November Food Drive and The Giving Tree. The Thanksgiving envelopes in your offering envelope box plus the plate offering from the Thanksgiving Eve Service will go to the Good Samaritan Fund. This fund is used throughout the year to provide food assistance to people coming into the church and asking for help. During November we will be gathering items for our semiannual food drive to benefit Christian Civic Outreach. This particular food drive is especially important since it takes place so close to the holidays. There is a box in Room 10 for your donations. Nearly all nonperishable food items are acceptable.

The Giving Tree
Winter is fast approaching and we are already in the process of providing new winter coats to the children in our community that would otherwise be very cold. In order to continue this ministry we need your help! The “Giving Tree” has been put up in Room 10. The goal this year is to raise $5,400. Due to the increase in the number of children we are assisting and the rising cost of the coats, more funds are needed in order to supply coats for all children that need them. The sign next to the Giving Tree will help us track how close we are to our goal. Please use “The Giving Tree” envelope in your envelope box or mark a pew envelope “The Giving Tree” to donate. Each donation will help provide a new winter coat for a child that otherwise would not have one. The November Food Drive and The Giving Tree are two very important ministry opportunities for our church to help our community.

Shut-in of the Month
Some members cannot attend church and it is important that we remember them in our thoughts and especially our prayers. During the month please pray for them and send them a card.

Our shut-in of the month is:
Grace Eggena
13542 Illinois Rt. 29
Pekin, IL 61554

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.
