 LIFE TOGETHER

VISITORS:  We are so glad you joined us today.  We do collect offerings during our  worship services.  While we believe this is a chance for each believer to be a good steward of the gifts they have received from God, you are welcome but not expected to give an offering while you are our guest.  If you would like to learn more about the Lord’s ministry here at Trinity please call Pastor Rutz.  He would love to get acquainted and visit at a time that is convenient for you.

After today’s service, everyone is invited to stay and join together for a potluck dinner as part of Trinity’s 90th Anniversary celebration.   Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 18, when we will have a final special anniversary service followed by a catered meal.  More details will be shared closer to that time.
