We have to keep candles filled, change paraments according to set schedule,  and keep the Chancel & Sacristy clean. The Altar Guild is also responsible for the annual Cookie Walk in December. Please contact Jan Tallman for more information.

Fellowship Hour (Sundays)

This is an opportunity for people to join in fellowship after church on Sunday by enjoying a cup of coffee and a cookie. The children join for the refreshments & singing before Sunday School.

Greeters

We would like you to kindly ask the guests to sign our guest book. Also introduce them to others who may be standing nearby. If you are interested - Please contact Erv Keller - 832-9590.

Lectors

Lectors read the Old Testament and the Epistle readings during the church services. After reporting in fifteen minutes prior to the service with Pastor, the lector reviews the readings in the bulletin, looking for changes. It is best of the lector and read through the passage our load in advance of the service. If a lector is unable to attend on a date they are scheduled, he or she is responsible for finding an alternate. Lectoring is a wonderful way to serve by giving Pastor a break & using your God given talents. Contact person is: Theresa Emington - 832-3591.

Prayer Chains

Hebrews 4:16 says: "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need". We have a ministry here at Trinity Lutheran Church known as the "Prayer Chain" The current prayer chain consists of a group of 26 woman who act as "prayer warriors". Prayers are placed on the Prayer Chain only up on request. once a prayer request comes in, these women carefully write down the request before calling the next person o the list that is provided to every member. Romans' 12:12 says "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." The requests usually fall into three main categories, prayers for healing, prayers for strength following the death of a loved on, and prayers of thanksgiving. The prayer chain believes in the power of prayer and what Job says in 22:27. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I". Please consider joining the meaning for ministry. Contact Patti Sheldon - 832-2113.

Ushering is done at each Church service. We need at least four(4) ushers per service. These people hand out the service folders, take the collection places, and help with communion. The ushers for the direction of the Elder at each service. Ushers serve one month at a time. If you are interested in becoming an usher please contact Craig Bowman.
