Welcome to this Celebration of the Good News of Jesus Christ, Our Savior! We are happy to have you with us, and

pray that this worship experience brings you the joy and peace that comes only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Please register your presence among us by signing a Guest Card which is found in the pew, and sign the guest book in the Narthex (church lobby). If you are without a church-home, we invite you to consider Trinity.

Trinity Lutheran Ministries

Communion Policy… The Sacrament of the Altar is administered at Trinity’s congregation according to the institution of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Reception of Christ’s Body and Blood is a testament to the unity of faith in the Gospel and all its articles. Baptized, repentant communicants who are in fellowship with Trinity Lutheran Ministries, as members of sister congregations of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, may receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ this day. If you are not yet in fellowship with us, we are glad to receive you at the altar during Communion for a Blessing. You may indicate your desire by crossing your arms to your chest before the pastor. We ask those visitors who desire to commune with us today, to please introduce yourself to one of our pastors or to an elder so that we are aware of your desire. Let us look forward to our Lord’s return when all divisions in the Church will be healed.

For those who will be communing, Non-alcoholic wine is available and is in the individual cups placed at the center of the trays.

For those who wish to receive the sacrament in the pew or those who, for health reasons, need gluten-free please speak with an Elder, an Usher or Pastor.

Divine Service Guide...Located in the pews is

a new resource for our members and visitors. The laminated bi-fold card serves to refresh and instruct us in the way of our worship; its basis in Scripture, meaning, and application for our lives in Christ.

Nursery Available Children are welcome in worship here at Trinity, but if a little one (or their parent) needs a short break, a nursery is available in the narthex (church lobby) for walking and comforting. Parents, please encourage children to get a drink and use the restroom before worship to reduce distractions during the Worship Service.

“Busy Bags” for Preschoolers “BUSY BAGS” for preschoolers are available in the Narthex which contain items for use during worship services. Parents are asked to take any papers your child uses with you and return the remaining items to the rack in the Narthex.

Name Tags If you would like to have a name tag, the Evangelism Board would love to provide them to you and your fam-ily (children confirmation age and older). The name tags are free, all you have to do is sign up on the sheet located next to the name tags.

Christian Education Join us for Sunday School and Adult Bible Classes beginning at 9:15 AM. Sunday School classes are in the school. Someone will be in the hallway to answer any questions you may have.

Stewardship Thought of the Week…

John 3:16 — “For God so loved the world, that he

gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should

not perish but have eternal life.” This is perhaps the

most well-known and well-beloved verse in the New

Testament – and for good reason. This simple Gospel

message is the foundation for our whole life – our new

life in Christ. This new life is characterized by thankful-

ness and devotion to our Father who has provided for us

so lavishly in Christ.

Text to Give: send a text to 618-625-8211 with the amount you would like to contribute. Make sure to include the dollar sign before the amount. Example:$25. Then fol-low the instructions.

WML Mission Grant to LCMS Young Adult Corps (formerly LCMS Youth Corps) —

Scholarships for Lutheran Mercy Young Adult Corps. To provide scholarships for young Lutheran adults that have been selected as volun-teers to serve in areas in

which their talents and services are needed (poverty/inner city areas, and areas of disadvantage and/or long-term recovery). LCMS Young Adult Corps members are especially trained to live and work and be identified with the people in the community, using their skills and understanding to serve these people in relation to their needs and to the skills and resources available, always being Christ’s witness in acts of mercy for the church and the world.
