Praying that all who are impacted by this significant weather event remain safe and well. Praying, too, for the safety of all who respond to the needs of God's people. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers.

We’ve been getting questions about Hurricane Isaias and whether it will affect Manatee County. Here's what we know right now:

Emergency Management continues to monitor the system and is staying in close contact with the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS).

As of the National Weather Service's latest update, Hurricane Isaias is expected to move toward the northern Gulf Coast and remain well north and west of our area. Manatee County is NOT currently in the forecast track for direct impacts from the hurricane.

What we are expecting is more rain. We could see periods of heavy rainfall over the next several days, so flooding remains something to keep in mind.

The best way to stay up to date:

📱 Download Alert Manatee for local emergency notifications if you haven’t done so by now: mymanatee.org/alertmanatee

🌦️ Follow the US National Weather Service Tampa Bay Florida for the latest forecast.

📺 Keep an eye on your local news for weather updates.

And please remember: never drive through flooded roadways.

Trinity Lutheran Church family, you rock! Thank you for your generous support of our many ministries all year long. Your gifts for this Prine Elementary shoe drive are a wonderful example of your love of all who have needs in our community.

Thank You, Trinity Lutheran Church!
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Trinity Lutheran Church for their continued generosity and unwavering support of our students. Once again, our valued community partner has made a tremendous impact by donating 65 pairs of shoes for students in need at Prine Elementary.
And the generosity did not stop there. In addition to the shoe donation, Trinity Lutheran Church also donated a $1,000 check to be used to purchase additional shoes for our students. This incredible gift will allow us to help even more children receive a new pair of shoes.

Amen and amen.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember the lives lost and hold all who mourn in prayer.

In the days following 9/11, our global Lutheran partners shared words of prayer and solidarity:

"We join you in the spiritual battle and prayer for forgiveness and love knowing that the battle is not ours but God's, and that the truth and God's victory will always prevail." —LWF Regional Office for Africa (Kenya)

"May there be ways to comfort the mourners as well as the survivors, and may the church be part of that work. May all the deceased rest in peace." —Church of Sweden

"Your pain is our pain. We were shocked to watch this unprecedented act of violence and terrorism. We therefore share your sadness and sorrow for the loss of so many innocent lives." —Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan

"May God help us resist the forces of evil and spread peace in the world." —Protestant Church of the Augsburg Confession of Alsace and Lorraine

Meet Booker and Paige, the ambassadors of our Little Free Library! 🦌📚 And thanks to everyone who helped choose their names.

“Hi, everyone!” say Booker and Paige. “Back home in the forest, we loved to relax and leaf through our favorite collections of stories! Now we want to invite you to stop by our Little Free Library, choose a book to take home, or leave one behind for someone else to enjoy. There are books for kids and adults, and you never know what new adventure might be waiting on the shelf!”

Our Little Free Library is a valuable service to our community, offering a simple way to share books, encourage reading, and bring neighbors together. Take a book, leave a book, and share the joy of reading! 📖❤️

UPDATE: The heavy rains we have received in the last 48 hours have thrown this project's progress off schedule. For now, the driveway MAY open Friday. The crews are now working 24/7 in our area. Our pipe contact tells us they will do everything possible to assure we can access the church directly from 26th street for worship this weekend. 🤞🙏

The 26th street driveway into the church's south parking lot will be closed beginning this afternoon (Aug. 31). The construction work being performed by contractors on behalf of the City of Bradenton will affect 26th street for "a couple of days." Our 27th street entries to our campus will remain open - for the church and our Tree of Life Preschool - Bradenton FL.

Thank you for your patience as these crews work diligently to replace sewer pipes all around our neighborhood.
