Please ask Pastor Geaschel, Gunia or Albrecht for more information.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. -James 5:16 ESV
Private confession is a great gift to the Christian church. During private confession you will have the opportunity to pray with a pastor, receive guidance from Holy Scripture and receive absolution from God. If you have any questions concerning private confession, please do not hesitate to ask.
Our Sunday Morning Bible Classes begin promptly at 10:00 AM.

Summer Camp Overview
Summer Camp will return to Trinity for its sixth year. Mrs. Lori Jensen will, once again, be teaching all sessions. Brief descriptions are following.
The camps will run Mondays through Fridays, 9:00am to 12:00 noon, for children ages 4 years old (by September 1, 2008) to those going into 4th grade. The weekly rates are $70 and include a daily snack. We are limited to 22 students per week.
Please fill out a registration form and return with a $25 deposit to reserve your spot. Spots will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. The balance for each week will be due the Monday of the first day of your weekly camp. All registration forms and payments should be turned in to the Trinity Lutheran School office. Checks should be made out to Trinity Lutheran Church. Please indicate in which weeks you are interested.
Extended care is available from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and from noon until 4:00p.m. each day, as long as there is a minimum of four students. Please provide your child with a lunch and a drink. There is an hourly charge for extended care.
If you do not have a health form on file at Trinity, please include one that has your student's immunization record.

Join us as we explore the mysteriouos world underground! We will study how caves are formed, what tools people use to explore caves and what can be found in caves. We might even make our own cave and go spelunking around.
Spiders are arachnids, but what is the difference between them? How do spiders help us? Are there venomous spiders? What are they afraid of? What do spiders eat? How are spider webs made? We will address all these questions ane more, as we learn to like and appreciate spiders. We will even try to spin our own web.
What could be more fun than a day at the beach? We will explore many different beach activities, such as building sand castles, flying kites, collecting seashells and possibly getting a little wet. Pack your bags as we set off to look at the shores of oceans and lakes.
Here they come, spinning around the turn. Are you a horse lover? Horses come in many different breeds and are used in a variety of jobs. We will also share horse stories, horse facts and study how to take care of horses.
Our excitement will explode as we begin to study volcanic eruptions, and rattle and shake as we open our minds to avalanches and earthquakes. Help us look at God's creation and some of the natural disasters that happen daily around the world.
We're off to Italy! Have you ever noticed this country looks like a boot? During the week we will immerse ourselves in the culture, language, foods, holidays and traditions. Be ready to travel this week!
A week of everything soccer. We'll learn the rules, the teams, and the players -- from Pele' to Beckhem, from the Los Angeles Galaxy to the Chicago Fire. Where did soccer originate? What is the World Cup? Join us for a kickin' good time!
On the second Tuesday of every month we help serve lunch to the homeless and others in need at
St. Matthew’s in Pilsen. We depart from the school parking lot promptly at 11:00 a.m. and return by
3:00 p.m.. See the church calendar for dates.
Dress casually. If you have any questions, you can
contact the church office.
New Stephen Minister and Stephen Leader commissioning (and re-commissioning of the last group) will take place during March. Follow along in the weekly bulletin to see what we are learning from Pastors Albrecht and Reinhardt, and Susan Ziegler, as well as one another! Please hold our Stephen Ministers, trainees, and leaders in your prayers. Do you or someone you know need someone to offer caring and compassion as a Stephen Minister? Contact a Pastor, Cindy Buda or Ruth Kutz.
Did you know that Trinity recycles?
We have a paper recycling bin in the school parking lot next to the garbage dumpster. Trinity gets money for the paper it can recycle and keep out of the garbage dump.
All that newspaper, junk mail, old school papers, magazines, catalogs. Don't throw them out, drop them off on your way to church or school.
Just a reminder: they can't take any paper that comes from the kitchen, the bathroom, or telephone books. And please limit cardboard. Thank you for helping to save a few trees.
