Members in good standing with LC-MS congregations are invited to participate in communion. Members of other Christian churches should speak with Pastor before communing here. Worshippers who are not communing are welcome to come the communion rail for a blessing from Pastor, taking one of the crosses in the center aisle. For those unable to take the bread and wine for medical or personal reasons, grape juice and gluten free wafers are available in the center aisle.

Trinity will offer Grief Share again for those who have lost a loved one and are going
through the grieving process. Everyone is welcome. Pastor Matt will be the facilitator. The 13 week
support group begins August 18th from 7:00pm-8:30pm here at the church. The first session will deal
with the loss of a spouse. The last session will be: ‘Surviving the Holidays.’ To register, or if you have
questions, please call the church office at 219-663-1578.
Resources continue to be available on the website. Please reach out to Trinity's pastors if
you need additional support, desire communion, want to share a concern or prayer request, or just
need to know that your church cares for you. Consider joining the Prayer vigil that continues on

Our country is in the midst of unrest due to racial inequality, among
other issues. The youth of our congregation are aware of this and they have strong feelings. We want
to see what God's Word has to say about this. Starting on Sunday, June 28th, all Sr. High youth (those
recently confirmed through recent high school graduates) are invited to participate in a six-session
Bible study over Zoom called "One Nation Under God: Healing Racial Divides in America" by
Rev. Keith Haney. Each Sunday session will begin at 12:30 pm. Zoom meeting ID and password
information will be forthcoming. Please contact Craig Gerbers ([email protected]) or Pastor
Gadbaw ([email protected]) with questions. We hope to see a lot of youth join us for this
important and timely study!

Our Guatemala mission team is formed and they still are making
preparations for the mission trip January 30th to February 6th, 2021. The team will make the
determination if it is safe to go when the date is closer, but until they look for ways that you
can support them and pray for them in the coming months!
We will continue to carry a limited number of Cash and Carry gift cards all
through summer available for purchase in the Atrium at the front desk, Monday-Friday 8:00am
till 3:00pm. Our schedule for June and July is: an order will be placed on June 29th; July 13th
and 27th. We will resume our weekly schedule on August 10th. Gift cards are ordered on
Monday morning, are available for pick up at the front desk by Wednesday at 3:00pm. We
thank you for supporting such a valuable fundraiser and helping worthy students in our Trinity
Scholarship Fund! Have a safe and blessed summer!
As we continue to come through the health crisis, we have had time to
re-engage in some of the spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith; namely, daily Bible reading,
family devotions, prayer, and mutual care and encouragement for the church family. As you
develop new routines, be sure to protect and keep these spiritual disciplines in place so that
they are not crowded out by a busy schedule. Consider adding another opportunity to serve
others. Many of these opportunities would require your assistance once a month at the service
that you attend. This opportunity that is before us can deepen our Christian devotion and
further support the work of Jesus Christ here at Trinity! Check out the volunteer
opportunities section of the newsletter and pick which one He is asking you to serve in!
The Board of Properties and Thrivent are hosting the June Work Day on
June 27th at 9:00am. As usual we have general clean up of the landscaping around the
buildings. We have ‘volunteer’ trees growing in the shrubs. We have Thistles, grass and trees
growing in the Prayer Garden. The Prayer Garden always takes several good volunteers to do
the cleanup. The Camp House property needs some heavier duty clean up. A Skid-Steer or
Bush Hog would be nice to clean up some dirt piles and brush. We also would like someone
to install gutter guards on the Camp House. The screening inside of the bell tower needs to
be replaced. We are still looking for the screening materials. This will require ladders and
brave volunteers. Hope to get a big crowd of volunteers to make the work go quicker. Any
questions, call Gary Diekelmann 219 765-1256.
Join us for our regularly scheduled congregational meeting on
Monday, June 22nd. Congregational packets are available outside the worship area.
