Today we do not celebrate division. Rather we celebrate the movement of the Holy Spirit in all our Churches and our hearts. It is this movement of the Holy Spirit that brings us newness and renewal, both in our personal lives and in the life of the Church. When we pray, "Come, Holy Spirit!" we know that the whole Church is always in need of reform, and we each are always in need of dying again in Christ in order to be raised from the dead, so that we might be truly free by the grace of Jesus the Christ in our lives and Church. "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:31-36) The Reformation’s true spirit is to “re‑form” the Church in the Spirit’s guidance, not to tear it apart — a call to unity in love of God and neighbor, and to healing divisions in all of God's Church.

Today is Pastor Appreciation Sunday! We at Trinity are beyond blessed to have Steve Files serving us each Sunday. Truly a gift to all of us and we are beyond grateful to have you! Yes, this a picture from a couple of years ago but Steve has been with us over 35 years. An absolute blessing in all our lives.

This quilt is displayed on the basement wall at Trinity...the quilt was presented to Trinity Lutheran by Pastor Merrill Herder, son of Pastor and Mrs. O.F. Herder who served at St. Paul Lutheran from 1922-1938.. the following are minutes from the Dorca Circle Minute Book
On January 3,1934 - it was decided to make a friendship quilt and charge 10 cents per name and 25 cents per advertisement name, with the proceeds going to pay the interest on the parsonage. It was to be auctioned off at a church dinner. A bill of $8.27 was presented by Mrs. Wm. Merbach for quilting materials. On June 21,1934 the quilt sold for $25.00, net income on the selling of names was $103.99, making a total of $128.99 that was received......There is nothing in the minutes to indicate who bought the quilt or how the Herders ended up owning it... Trinity's quilting ladies found the quilt in the church basement and decided to wash it up ...iron it and hang it to be displayed... A nice addition to our fellowship room.

Thank you to everyone who planned, attended, and took part in yesterday's worship service and recognition of my 50 years of playing organ/piano at Trinity. Everything was so special and meant so much to me. I appreciate each of you more than I could ever tell you. Much love, much thanks, and many blessings upon all. Connie Rudnick.

This quaint cemetery is property of Trinity Lutheran. It is located 5 miles north of Anamoose and 1 and a half miles west.. The families include Schnase, Hahn, Samuel and Sherlock. Mostly small children. Thank you to whomever recently cleaned it up. It looks so nice and was a very respectful act of kindness.
