LIFE TOGETHER
SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY: This morning we continued a study on the Doctrine of Vocation. This is a topic that applies to all of us at all stages of life on how we serve those who the Lord places in our lives through the various callings and gifts we are blessed with. It’s not just about your employment career but serving your neighbor in many vocations that Lord has given you to be a blessing to others during your lifetime as a called and redeemed child of God. Even if you weren’t able to join us this morning, you may still come and join us next Sunday or any Sunday. Pastor Rutz
TRINITY PRESCHOOL’S GRADUATION will be held on Wednesday, May 24. The preschoolers and their families will be gathering for pizza at 6:00. The graduation program will begin at 6:30. Weather permitting, it will be held outdoors. All are invited to attend.
ASCENSION DAY SERVICE will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 25 in St John’s Lutheran Church in Adair. For information contact Mike or Janette Lang.
INTRODUCTION TO THE LUTHERAN FAITH: Pastor Rutz will be starting this class on Wednesday June 7th at 7:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. This serves as an adult inquiry class for those interested in learning more about the basic teachings of the Lutheran(LCMS)/Christian faith with the opportunity to join our congregation and be confirmed into membership upon completion of the course. It will also serve as a refresher course for current members who would like to review the Catechism and our teachings. If you know of anyone who has expressed interest in learning about what we teach and confess or is looking for a church home please tell them about this opportunity. This is great opportunity for any family/spouse of current Trinity members or our preschool families who would like to learn more about our teachings and confession of faith. For more information, Please contact Pastor Rutz at 782-5095 or 712-621-5971.

Trinity Preschool is now registering students for the 2017-2018 school year. If you know of any families who have preschool age children and are looking for a preschool please tell them about Trinity. Invite them to contact the preschool teachers, Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Cook, for more information. The preschool phone number is 782-5095 Ext. 2.
MISSION TRIP: The Mission Board will be traveling to Mission Central in Mapleton, IA on Saturday, July 15, 2017. Pastor Stephen Oliver and his family from Taiwan (who we support) will be at Mission Central on that day, and Pastor Oliver will be speaking that afternoon. Since we are inviting all of Trinity Creston and Mt Ayr to join us, we would like to get a general idea of how many people to expect; how many vehicles we would need for transportation and if you would be willing to drive. Right now the agenda is to arrive at Mission Central by 10:30 am for a tour of the grounds. A meal will be served at noon with Pastor Oliver speaking at 1:00 pm. There is NO charge for this event. We hope you have already saved the date of July 15th to join us. A sign up sheet is on the table in the narthex. Please indicate if you are interested in going and if you would be willing to drive. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact any member of the Mission Board-Sue Larson, Jean Stoll, Bill Magers, Julie Rutz or Maggie Dory.
Thank-You from The Mission Board.
