Upcoming Activities

Quilt Sunday, Oct. 6
The Trinity quilters have been busy this past year! On Quilt Sunday, Oct. 6, the quilts that have been made over the past year will be draped over the pews, and we will have a dedication litany in the service for the quilts and school kits. It'll all be shipped off and distributed through Lutheran World Relief on Oct. 12.

Through LWR, our hands and hearts affirm God's love for all people -- helping to end poverty, injustice and human suffering. Thank you to all the quilters and to all those who donated time, materials or money for the quilts and kits.

Altar Guild meeting, Oct. 13
Trinity's Altar Guild is in charge of preparing the sanctuary for services including baptisms and weddings. Volunteers work in pairs, typically for one month of the year. Duties include taking care of the altar area (chancel), preparing Communion, taking care of the candles and flowers, and coordinating decorating the church for Easter and Christmas.

There is an Altar Guild meeting planned for Sunday, Oct. 13 after the worship service in order to plan for Advent and Christmas. The first Sunday in Advent is Dec. 1. All Altar Guild members are urged to attend, and we would welcome anyone else who is interested to join us on that day. Ideally we should have at least 24 members so each of us need only be on one month during the year. At the present time we have 14-16 active members and are in need of more. At this time the Altar Guild consists of only women. However, we would welcome men or couples who would like to serve.

We need you! Please consider this opportunity to serve your church. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Sharon Oberheu, Altar Guild president.

Family Potluck, Oct. 20
Families with kids who are between the ages of 4 and 11 (5th grade) are welcome to join us at Trinity for a brief worship, dinner and education time. We hold these potlucks roughly once a month (on the third Sunday of the month from September through April, except for December), and the next one will be Sunday, Oct. 20 from 4-5:30pm in the Parish Hall. Dinner is provided by the members of Trinity, and the parents who come can provide a side dish, salad or dessert. If you're interested in attending or helping out, please contact Pastor Brent at 262-377-0610 or pastorbrenttlc@gmail.com so he has an idea of how much food to get.

Blood Drive, Nov. 2
Trinity is hosting a blood drive on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 9am-1pm. If it's tough for you to find time to donate blood during the workweek, hopefully a Saturday morning appointment will fit your schedule better. Blood donors are always in constant demand, and by donating just one pint of blood, you have the potential to save up to three lives.

Anyone who is at least 17 years old (16-year-olds can donate with parental consent), weighs a minimum of 110 lbs. and is in generally good health can donate blood. The entire process takes about an hour, and all blood types are needed.

Appointments are encouraged, and donors should bring a photo ID. To sign up for your lifesaving appointment, call 1-877-BE-A-HERO, contact Jill Klitz, or reserve a spot online.

Thanks for being a hero!
