Hebrews 9:24-28

Mark 12:38-44


Growing. Serving. Joining.

The congregation is invited to come to our next meeting and learn about Lutheran Early Response Team. Our speakers will be Trinity alumni Mark and Bev Brueggmann who will tell us how this team responds to natural disasters. They are always looking for volunteers. The meeting will be held Wednesday November 20 at 6:30 pm.

Our annual food drive supporting the Mission of Christ food pantry begins this weekend. Yellow collection bags will be distributed after worship services. Our green NEIGHBOR version of the bag will also be available so that you can involve friends, co-workers, and neighbors. Arrange for a pick-up date/time or follow the instructions on the bag and pick them up on Sunday, November 24 after 12 noon. We encourage you to give a green printed Thank You card with Trinity identification to everyone who contributes. Cards and extra bags will be available in the Gathering Room.

Place your filled bags of non-perishable food items (no glass please) in the south church entrance by Tuesday, November 26.

Our delivery of food to Mission of Christ will be earlier this year. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 30 – leaving Trinity at 9am.

Your generosity and prayers make a difference in the lives of many!

This virtual study led by the pastors will multiply the impact of the Sunday morning service. Ready yourself for Sunday worship by deepening your understanding of the coming sermon text. On each Wednesday, the pastors take a close look at the following weekend’s sermon text, providing context and a more detailed examination of the scriptures than is possible during a sermon. Participants are welcome to log on just to listen or can ask questions and join the discussion.
Join via Zoom from home or take advantage of your lunchbreak to listen from work, and let the word of Christ dwell in you richly all week long.
Email Pastor Lehenbauer for a direct link at clehenbauer@trinityfreistadt.com or type zoom.CarlLehenbauer.com into your browser to join this study on Wednesdays at noon.

Trinity’s Prayer Shawl Ministry is seeking help from members who enjoy knitting or crocheting to help make prayer shawls (20″ X 60″). Trinity’s prayer shawl ministry aims to provide a tangible expression of God’s love and comfort to individuals in need by creating hand-knitted or crocheted shawls, which are often accompanied by prayers for healing, peace, and strength, given to people experiencing difficult situations like illness, grief, or significant life transitions; essentially offering a “wearable hug” as a symbol of support and care from the church community. If interested in being a part of this ministry please contact Sue Schoessow at 262-305-7965.

Beyond Trinity

The South Wisconsin District is excited to announce the launch of a Vocational Directory, designed specifically for LCMS business owners and professionals in South Wisconsin. This directory isn’t about finding volunteers for pro bono work; it’s about building a network of skilled professionals within our membership. We invite you to share your expertise with congregations across South Wisconsin by completing the form at swd.lcms.org/PRO as we work to honor our Christ-centered vocations. Together, we can create a resource that strengthens our community and serves our churches effectively

Our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted by the devastating storms in the south. If God moves you to give to support hurricane relief efforts, you can give directly to LCMS Disaster Response at lcms.org/givenow/disaster or you can give through Trinity by making out your check to Trinity and clearly marking it “Hurricane Relief” on the memo line. Thank you for your Christ-like concern for those in need!

Are you a Veteran, retired, or a couple looking to do something meaningful with your spare time? If this describes you, Preceptor Hospice has an opportunity for you to become a Hospice Volunteer.

A Preceptor Hospice Volunteer will become a trained individual who provides visits, companionship and support to patients and their families. You do not need any prior medical experience. All you need is to a willingness to be present with a patient during their final life journey.

Trinity member, Cary Schoessow, is looking for used or new Bibles to offer for free to customers and clients who come to her sign shop. Conversations she has with them often lead to sharing of the Gospel to those experiencing difficulties and don’t know where to turn. Recently, a hispanic couple were thrilled to receive the gift of a Bible from Cary. Bibles can be brought to the church office.
