Children are invited to take part in this year’s Freistadt Fourth celebration through music and the bike parade.

No registration is required. Bike participants should meet in the southern-most parking lot by 12:30 PM. For questions or interest, contact Terry Schoessow at 414-801-0724.

Raise Right (f/k/a Scrip) will collected weekly.

Please have all orders in by 8:00 am on these dates. For questions, please contact Jen Traska at 262-424-2667 or Jen.traska@gmail.com.

Need holiday gift cards? Interested in reducing your tuition? RaiseRight can help with that! Purchase gift cards for groceries, gas stations, home improvement, restaurants and everything in between while helping earn money for your child’s tuition or another family’s tuition at Trinity. Alternatively, you also provide support for the church. The savings add up quickly!

RaiseRight is a gift card program in which you purchase gift cards and a portion of your rebate goes towards tuition. Let me give you an example. If you purchase a $100 gift card that has a 9% rebate, you will receive a $100 gift card and then your rebate would be $9. Of the $9 rebate, $8.10 (90%) would go towards your tuition for the following year. The remaining $.90 (10%) of the rebate goes towards UPS shipping costs with the remainder going to church.

RaiseRight orders can be placed on-line (for physical gift cards, re-loadable gift cards, or eGift Cards). All orders should be submitted prior to the start of school on Monday and your physical gift card order will be available at the end of the week. If placing an order for a reloadable gift card or eGift card, these orders can be done at any time and do not have deadlines. A printed order form (found on Trinity’s website) can also be submitted prior to the start of school on Monday and these forms are also located outside the school office. Please note, not all brands are on the paper order form as there are hundreds of brands and denominations to choose from. The submission box is located outside the office. All orders need to be in by Monday at 7:50am.

Website and list of brands can be found here.

In celebration of our 250th July 4th birthday this year, our Card Ministry would like to send encouragement to members of our congregation who are serving in the military.

For the security of our building, please do not exit through the main church doors on Granville Road or Entrance #3 near the gathering room stairs if the doors are already in a locked position. Instead, we kindly ask that you use another available exit, such as the church vestibule doors or Entrance #4 by the elevator.

There have been several instances where these doors were properly locked after services by worship assistants, but were later found open the following morning.

Thank you for your help in keeping our campus safe and secure for everyone.
