Pastor and his family were truly touched by the gifts we received this Christmas from the members of Trinity. Our greatest gift here at Trinity is being able to serve this congregation with the Word and Sacraments. Our Family rejoices in service of the Lord. Happy New Year and Many Blessings.

January 5 “What work has God prepared for you? (Ephesians 2:10) Is it helping a woman who is pregnant and alone? Is it ministering to someone who has had an abortion and can’t believe that God would forgive her? Is it feeding the hungry? … Whatever God has called you to do, do it with joy.” Kay L. Meyer, former director of development for Lutherans For Life – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org
Building Healthy Families: Having faith and being a Christian doesn’t mean we will never make mistakes. It means that through our mistakes, we experience God’s grace and mercy, which are ours in Christ. This week, look for opportunities to practice mercy, grace, and forgiveness in your family. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa

Naomi Circle Information Our January meeting will be held Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 1:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Our topic will be “Praising God Even When He Seems Silent”, found on page 18 of the Winter 2013 Quarterly. You are always welcome to join us for Bible Study and Fellowship.
Offering Envelopes are in the Narthex. Please pick up your box. If you can't find a box with your name on it or you know of someone who needs one please let Waunita know. We have plenty of extras!
Prayer Request pads can be found on the Narthex Table. Please fill out the form and give it to Pastor Watt or place it in the "Prayer Requests" mailbox. Unless otherwise requested prayer request will be repeated for three (3) Sundays.
Stewardship: Luke 2:49 And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" What a privilege the Lord has giving to us by calling us to come to His house! It is not a burden but rather an honor and a blessing for us to always be able to come to a place where we know God is present for us in His gifts of Word and Sacrament. Likewise, the Lord has honored us by allowing us to support the work of His house with our tithes and offerings.
Endowment Committee revised policy. Copies are available. Voters will be requested to approve at January 19th the voters meeting.
