September Sermon Series: “The Work of the Holy Spirit”
This September, join us at Trinity Lutheran Church as we embark on a powerful new sermon series exploring the life-giving work of the Holy Spirit. Rooted in the third article of the Apostles’ Creed and Luther’s Small Catechism, we’ll reflect on how the Holy Spirit: calls us to faith, enlightens us with truth and grace, sanctifies us for holy living, and and keeps us in the one true faith.
Message from the Executive Committee
There are three items from our August 25, 2025 meeting that we wish to highlight for you: 1. Your church needs you. 2. What are your thoughts about Thanksgiving services? 3. Loan refinancing coming up. As always, please seek out and get to know your EC representatives offering your input and feedback.

You may be confident and skilled enough to serve as a soloist, or you may wish to work on building your confidence by playing along with a hymn or two. If you would like to explore the idea of sharing your musical gifts during traditional services at Trinity’s Mission campus, please contact Lara West.
