Our ECEC Director, Maria, spent part of the week in Richmond as part of an Accreditation Team for another of our SED schools – what a testimony to the quality of leadership we have in our Director!
Our Stewardship Team met this week and continues its work in guiding us through Biblical principles as a faithful congregation in its stewardship…with a potential capital campaign coming up this fall our annual Stewardship Emphasis will be rolled into our fall plans! Our Spiritual Care Team (Elders) met this week with much rejoicing in the blessings we are experiencing as a congregation! We are making plans for our upcoming summertime “Serenity at Trinity” Wednesday evening gatherings…the dates are June 10 & 24; July 8 & 22; August 5 – all of these evenings at Trinity begin at 7 p.m. – we hope to have some special events included in these dates! Our Thursday Morning Prayer Team met, as they do every Thursday morning at 7:30 – anyone is invited – and our congregation, mission and life together were prayed for…what a powerful time this is to be lifting up our fellowship unto the Lord! Praise to our Lord and congratulations to our ECEC for being recommended for accreditation to the NSLA by the accreditation team we hosted this week!
A new “missions team” of our ministry met this last week – if you are interested please speak to Harold Bess! Our leadership hosted a representative from Lutheran Church Extension Fund’s “Capital Funding Services” to discuss possibilities of a capital campaign for our relocation – there is much to look forward to, with another entity to be interviewed later this month! Our ECEC is continuing to financially operate on their own, due to the changes implemented last fall – while the approved financial help is available they have not had to dip into it – great job to our ECEC leadership! Our Altar Guild did a fantastic job in preparing our worship space for each of the unique worship opportunities we had – thank you!
Carole Martin and her family decorated the wooden cross on the corner with all the lilies. They also made sure everything was set up for our Fellowship Breakfast – thank you! Sue Bohlmann designed and made the “Grace” banner hanging in the sanctuary; the letters are made up of the prayers we raised during our Lenten worships – thank you! During the week we have had many people stop and take pictures of the decorated cross on the corner. One day in Holy Week someone placed a stuffed toy lamb at the foot of the cross! What a joy to know others in our community are joining us in this public display of our faith in Jesus! Our realtor stopped by this week with the following update:
+Next week or the week after we should see a sign on our property announcing our move and the sale of our property +Next week 600 flyers will be sent out to local entities who are looking for space; this should generate much interest in our property +Our realtor is actively working with four entities that have reached out to us in the past few months, continuing conversations with them and their potential interest +if you have someone interested in knowing more about the sale of our building please direct them to the church office where they can pick up a brochure from our realtor or encourage them to call the realtor’s number on the sign once it is put up on our property |
