Welcome to Worship.First English and Trinity Lutheran Churches have entered into a engagement period this fall. Together we are exploring what it is like to be a one church, multi-site congregation. This means that whichever location you attend you will receive this same announcement page and hear the same sermon. Try worshipping at a new location during these 3 months. Take advantage of opportunities, Bible studies, and fellowship events at both locations. Most of all pray that God guides us as we discern our futures together.
We are Glad that you are Here!

November 3rd we will observe the festival of All Saints.

You are invited to bring your photo (with name of the person & your relationship) to either church office to be added to the display. Deadline: Oct 30.
The Comforters/Quilters will meet at Trinity from 1 to 3 pm on the following dates, tomorrow, October 14th and October 28th (usually the second and fourth Mondays of each month).
