Men and women who have the gift of being able to serve the Lord during the worship services are encouraged to consider being part of our usher group. Basically, ushers make sure everything runs well during the service by doing such things as finding seats, passing out worship folders, collecting the offering and Ritual of Friendship cards, etc. Usually ushers serve at the service of their choice. If you would like to be a part of this invaluable service, please contact Brad Juergens.
Acolyting is an opportunity for our young members to be a part of Worship Services.

The Giving Tree project began in 1976 at Trinity Lutheran Church. It is an annual outreach program that helps care for local children in need and is one of the most important ministries of Trinity’s Board of Christian Service and Board of Evangelism. Originally, The Giving Tree distributed hats, mittens and scarves to children in need at Jefferson School. It has since grown to serve Pekin District 108 and Good Shepherd Lutheran School. Trinity collects monetary donations from its members to purchase brand new winter coats, hats, and gloves for underprivileged children in Pekin School District 108 and Good Shepherd Lutheran School, ensuring they have warm outerwear for the cold months. By focusing on practical needs like warm clothing, the program directly benefits children who may otherwise go without essential items, helping them feel cared for and valued. The Giving Tree has provided over 6,000 coats to school children in need in Pekin. 2026 will mark the 50th year for The Giving Tree. Volunteers are needed to purchase, sort, package, and deliver coats. Contact Melissa Deverman if you'd like to help in any way.
