Thanksgiving Offering

It is about that time! Every year Trinity’s Thanksgiving offering is put into our Christian Care Fund. These funds are then disbursed when a member of Trinity submits a request for assistance for anyone in the community (members and non-members). The requestor then becomes the giver of this blessing to those in need. Offering Mercy to the hurting.

Please prayerfully consider your offering this year.

All information is strictly confidential.

Mercy

Our culture encourages us to see the world and our relationships through a lens of individualism, in which we make decisions based on this question: “How will this effect ME?” How would our world be different if we returned to a faith, family and community-centered lens, in which decisions are instead based on this question: “How will my actions effect my children, my spouse, my parents, my congregational family, my community?” Lutheran Family Service of Iowa; 7177 Hickman Road, Suite 3; Des Moines, IA (515) 251-4900.

“It has always been evident to us, scientifically, morally, and logically, that life begins at conception. For the last word on the matter, we consult our Creator’s guidebook. The Psalmist wrote, ‘For You formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother’s womb’ (Psalm 139:13 NASBÒ). He then noted, ‘Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them’ (Psalm 139:16 NASBÒ).” Patriot Post – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life www.lutheransforlife.org
