News and Notes From This Week's Bulletin - June 7, 2009

Rite Of Confirmation: Today two of our youth are publicly confessing their faith in the true God in the Rite of Confirmation. The two youth and their confirmation verses are:

1. Jacob Francis Cornelius – Revelation 2:10
2. Carolyn Marie Duttweiler – St. John 15:5

We praise God that through their study of God’s Word they have grown in their faith in God and His Son Jesus as their Savior and have begun to learn the basics of the Christian faith. It is our sincere prayer that they will continue to faithfully attend worship, study God’s Word, and partake of Holy Communions so that by the work of the Holy Spirit they will continue to mature in the Christian faith and Christian life.

Lutheran Digest: Have you missed the Spring Issue of Lutheran Digest? Most all of us have! The reason our church has not received our recent issues is due to the retirement of Betty Allen (our long time sales agent). Finally, after many weeks of investigating, I have discovered that our church will not receive anymore issues until a Sales Agent is found to take over the handling of the Wellsville area. If someone is found quickly, (1-2 weeks) we might be able to start getting the Digest again with the Fall 2009 issue. If anyone is interested in finding out more about what the job would entail, please call the Lutheran Digest headquarters at 952-933-2820. Please be sure to tell them you are representing Trinity Lutheran Church.

Confirmation Reunion Celebration: Please be sure to sign up on the sheet in the lounge if you’re planning on attending the Chicken BBQ after worship on Sunday, June 28. Also, if you invited any former members and they are attending, be sure to sign them up also. Thank you. Any questions, speak to Eleanor Cott or Betty Wood.

Fun-Tastic Carnival Book Sale Good used books are needed for the book sale at the Fun-tastic Carnival on Sat. July 11th. Please drop off on the table in the church library.
