LIFE TOGETHER
VISITORS: We are so glad you joined us today. We 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. You are also invited to join members in the fellowship hall after this morning’s service.
Attendance Cards: Visitors and members are asked to fill out an attendance card and to list names of each family member in attendance. Turn in your card at the back of the church at the end of the service.
On Sundays when there is Holy Communion please list the names of those who will be communing on the Holy Communion registration side of the card. Hand it to an usher as you go up for communion.
If you have moved or your phone number or email address have changed, please note any changes on the attendance card so that we can update our records in the office.
Weekly bulletins, announcements, and sermons continue to be available on the church website.
Children in the Divine Service Sheets are available from the basket in the back of the church. Parents are encouraged to read these to/with their children. Each week will have a short explanation of a different part of the church service or about something found in the church. They are other way to aid parents in teaching their children.
Life Care Clinic’s Baby Bottle Boomerang is running from May 11-June 15. If you are able to participate, pick up a baby bottle from the tub in the narthex. Return it with your donation on Father’s Day. (June 15).

Building Healthy Families: Sum, sum, summertime – it’s coming! What’s your plan for summer free time for you and your family? Wait - what, no plan?? Without a plan, we’re more likely to migrate to our favorite individual activities or spot in front of the television or computer screen. Consider challenging your family this week to make a “summer bucket list,” brainstorming a list of interesting things to do, perhaps with a set of parameters like, “it can’t include screen time, and it must be within a 2-hour drive of our home.” Make up your own rules and let the brainstorming ideas begin! Be sure to add a Bible story or Scripture reading plan for the summer to your list. Reading the Bible with mom and dad instead of endless days of playing computer games alone or with friends will create powerful memories for your children, and what an impact it will have on their lives!
