Trinity's weekly teaching and preaching is now available via podcast. You can find us on both Spotify and Apple podcast platforms by searching "Trinity Lutheran Norfolk" and looking for the green logo. There are also direct links posted on our website and Facebook page.
LAWN CARE TEAM - We are looking for people to assist in mowing the lawn. We had a wonderful group of people helping last summer. If you are interested in joining your fellow members in this opportunity to serve, please sign up on the sheet in the Welcome Center. Please contact John Knickelbein if you have questions.
Bulletin Deadline – If you have a blurb or an insert for the bulletin, please make sure it is in to the Church Office by 9:00 am on the Wednesday morning prior to publication.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE – At Trinity we recycle as much as we can! Did you know that Bill Sontag has set up a large grey trash can behind the shed so that you can conveniently deposit all of your metal items when coming to Church? ALL METALS, old electronics, old AC units, etc. Too big to fit in the can? Just set it beside the can behind the shed. Monies collected from this recycling effort will be used to help with building maintenance/beautification around Trinity.
Printer Ink Cartridge Recycling – We also collect used ink cartridges! Office Max/Depot Recycling Rewards will give us credit for them towards future purchases. So, next time your ink is running low and you are getting ready to pitch it, please don’t and bring it in so that we can recycle it!
The MOVING TRINITY FORWARD Fund is a five-year campaign with a goal of $250,000. This fund will help support a renovation of our heating and cooling systems, support updates to the building to cover safety and security, a renovation of our playground, and updates to our roof and wiring throughout the building. Thank you for your prayerful consideration as we continue the “Moving Trinity Forward” Campaign. This will enable Trinity to plan for our future, and our future looks bright! Please mark on your envelope that the donation is for the MTF Fund! If you would like a pledge card to commit to your gift please or have any questions, please contact the church secretary.
Altar Flowers – Everyone enjoys seeing the beautiful flowers adorning our altar on Sunday mornings. If you have a special event or recognition please consider signing up to provide flowers one Sunday. The Flower chart is located in the hallway across from the office. We always appreciate any donations to the Flower Fund even if you don’t have an occasion to place flowers on the altar.
Bulletin Deadline – If you have a blurb or an insert for the bulletin, please make sure it is in to the Church Office by 9:00 am on the Wednesday morning prior to publication.
Generosity Made Easy - Would you like to forgo the hassle of envelopes? You can enroll in the VANCO Simply Giving program. You select the donation, the day and the frequency of the donation and the money is withdrawn from your bank account. Authorization forms are available on the hallway bulletin board. Please return completed forms to the Church Office along with a voided check (required). Please return completed forms to Anne Combes in the Church Office.
The Simply Giving® Program is an automated stewardship program that helps members live generously. It's a convenient, safe and simple way for individuals to make automatic payments to nonprofit organizations through electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly from checking or savings accounts. Thrivent Federal Credit Union has contracted with industry leader Vanco Payment Solutions to provide electronic payment processing services at reduced rates – so your generosity goes further. Trinity offers electronic giving as a way to automate your regular weekly offering. Electronic giving offers convenience for individual congregation members and provides much-needed donation consistency for our congregation. Direct Debit giving is used to automatically transfer funds from your checking or savings account to the church’s bank account. As you contemplate future contributions, please consider electronic giving.
