Trinity Newsletter - April 2021

He is risen indeed. Hallelujah.

The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod National Youth Gathering is scheduled for July 9-13, 2022 in Huston, Texas. The Gathering theme is “in all things” from Colossians 1:15-20. We have fifteen youth that are eligible to attend the Gathering. Youth that are currently in grades seven through eleven are eligible to attend. With five adults that means there will be twenty representatives from Trinity attending the Gathering. Though our fundraising efforts were interrupted by the pandemic, they will begin again in earnest this summer. Youth that are currently in grades seven through eleven are eligible to attend.

The Middle School Youth and Senior Youth have continued to meet weekly. The Middle School Youth meet on Thursdays at 7:15 pm. The Senior Youth meet Wednesdays at 7:15 pm. There is prayer and a short Bible study and then fellowship and games. We have been using Luther’s Large Catechism to study the Fourth Commandment. Luther states: “For God’s sake, let us learn this at last: placing all other things out of sight, let our youths look first to this commandment if they wish to serve God with truly good works.” We play Among Us, Scribble and UNO. But mostly we spend time together, laugh together, study together, pray together, and together work our way through this challenging time. The time I’ve spent with the youth since March 2020 has been a true blessing. Average participation has been six youth.

The Young Adult Singles Group Zoom meetings are at 7:15 pm on Tuesdays. The meetings last an hour and include prayer, Bible Study, and games. Average participation has been one.
