Blessed to Serve Sunday

Let's go BE the church! On Sunday, September 14th, instead of our regular worship services, our Trinity family is invited to attend a brief sending service at 9 a.m.. Children from Trinity Lutheran School will sing during the sending service. Following the service, we will serve at a variety of different sites around Lincoln. We will gather back at church at 12 p.m. for lunch and to share about our service experiences. Please bring your own lunch. We are blessed to serve!


Childcare will be available for younger children, but almost all our projects are great opportunities for families to serve together! Sign-up for childcare will be available in the Narthex.


Schedule:
9a.m. – Sending service at Trinity Lutheran Church with music from Trinity Lutheran School students
9:45-11:45 a.m. – Service projects
12 p.m. – lunch and sharing of service projects at Trinity Lutheran Church (please pack a lunch, drinks will be provided)
