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. You are also invited to join members in the fellowship hall after the service for a time of fellowship.

Attendance Cards: Visitors and members are asked to fill out an attendance card (found in the pew rack) and to list names of each family member in attendance. 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 the card to an usher.

If you have moved or have a different phone number, or email address please note any changes on the attendance card so that we can update our records in the office.

Preschool Board Meeting will be held this evening, April 5 at 5:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall in Creston.

Live Streaming of Creston’s Services: 9:00 a.m. Sundays and 6:00 p.m. on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Go to www.trinitycreston.org and in the left hand column under Worship click Live Services.

Weekly Announcements: These are available on the church website in the same location where they have been for many years. Click on Trinity News.

Deadline for Easter Flowers: TODAY, April 5, is the deadline for turning in an order for Easter flowers for the Creston location. We know that it is an unusual year with all the changes that have happened, but if you would still like to provide flowers and be able to take them home after Easter, you may do so. Refer to the pink insert in the Creston bulletins.

Email Addreses: We have had some emails come back to the church undeliverable. If your address has changed please phone the office with those changes or email lhadley@trinitycreston.org with the changes. This is important, especially in recent days, when we’ve tried to keep you informed about all the changes. If you have an email address and have never received an email from the church that means we do not have your email address on file. Please share with us to help improve our communication efforts.
