Outdoor Worship and Potluck Picnic, Aug. 13
All are welcome to our outdoor worship service and picnic on Sunday, Aug. 13! Taking place in the lower parking lot, the worship service begins at 10am. Celeste Giunta from the Adult Literacy Center of Ozaukee County will give a temple talk during the service. A picnic follows the worship service -- brats, burgers, hot dogs, corn and beverages will be provided. Please bring a dish or dessert to share, along with a neighbor or friend!

Ozaukee Ride for Outreach for Hope, Sept. 9
Save the date! On Saturday, Sept. 9, there will be a bike ride to support the ministries of Outreach for Hope, which sustains the work of Christ in communities of poverty in Milwaukee. You can help support their ministry by riding, sponsoring or volunteering for this God's Work Our Hands event.

The Saturday morning ride, beginning at Christ the King in Port Washington (420 W. Whitefish Road), will offer multiple distances for everyone from families to serious riders. There are rolling start times from 8-9:30am (those planning longer rides will start earlier), and the ride will head north on the Interurban Trail with stops at Belgium (8 miles) and Oostburg (18 miles). You can ride out and back on the trail and turn around when you wish. Sandwiches and treats will be provided for riders on their return.

The registration fee is $25 per rider, and $50 for the entire family. Online registration is available at http://goo.gl/r1UkB3. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Julie Ische or Carl Ball.

Food Pack for Hunger Relief, Sept. 23
Last year, almost 60 people of all different ages from all over the community came together and packed 107 boxes of food (more than 23,000 meals) for hungry people in Haiti and El Salvador. And we're excited to do it again! Partnering with Worldwide Hunger Relief, Trinity will be hosting a Food Pack for Hunger Relief on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 9am-1:30pm.

Our goal is to fill three 90-minute shifts:

• 9-10:30am
• 10:30am-12pm
• 12-1:30pm

There are four tables per shift, with eight people at each table working in assembly-line fashion to fill bags with a measured amount of uncooked rice, dehydrated soy, vegetables, vitamins and minerals. Each table packs about 288 bags (or eight boxes) of food, and when cooked with water, each bag provides a meal for six people. Sit-down jobs are available for those who don’t wish to stand the whole time.

There's no fee to participate, but we'll gladly welcome donations of any amount, whether or not you help pack (we hope to pack 96 boxes, and we pay $43.20 per box for the cost of food and shipping). You can donate when you come to pack, or you can give through the church office or the offering plate (if donating by check, please make your check out to "Trinity Lutheran Church" with "Food Pack" on the memo section of the check). Thank you so much for any contribution you can make!

This event is open to everyone in the community -- from grade-schoolers on up -- and we need your help! To sign up, please contact Linda Staley in the church office at 262-377-0610 or at office@trinitycedarburg.org. You can sign up as an individual or as a group -- invite your friends, family members and coworkers to do this with you!

Please consider participating and making a difference to help alleviate starvation.
