Traffic on Sunday, Calle Orange Festival
This Sunday you will likely see many detour signs on the way into church due to the annual Calle Orange festival. Please allow for some extra time to navigate through detours. The parking garage will still be open and accessible for you to park in, but you may have to approach from a different direction. Please say a prayer for Pastor Borges and the Prince of Peace Hispanic Ministry team who will be out in front of our Magnolia building sharing information about JESUS, Prince of Peace Lutheran, Trinity Lutheran Church & School, Pumpkin Patch and Touch a Truck to the 30K+ people who come out for this festival each year. We pray for God's blessing on the connections they make this weekend.
Guest Preacher this Weekend
Please extend a warm Trinity welcome to Rev. Larry Schaefer who will be preaching at all services this weekend.

Acts 2:45
This is the new name for Food on the Fifth. Look it up! The early Christian believers recognized God's love isn't a one way street: it comes from God to you and then through you to others. When a fifth Sunday occurs, Trinity intentionally collects food and funds to share in our church home and community. October has a fifth weekend, start shopping for the BOGO deals and intentionally bring canned and nonperishable food to worship services on
October 29 and 30
. In addition to the food items, please share monetary donations for our Discretionary Fund. The dollars you give help members of our congregation when unexpected expenses and illness or accident results in financial needs. This month our school's chapel offering is also a food collection, so we will add our baskets together for the Food Pantry at Prince Of Peace Lutheran Church. This pantry serves hundreds of people in our extended neighborhood -- children, elderly, single adults.

Christmas is just over two months away! Watch for our Trinity Shares Christmas tree - it will be in the narthex the first weekend in November! The ornaments will contain gift, food, and gift card requests for children of incarcerated parents and for the children's caretakers. As in years past, we are partnering with Angel Tree Ministries to provide two gifts for each child and food for a Christmas dinner for each family. We are in the process of contacting the families; we will hopefully help twelve incarcerated parents reach out with love to a total of 22 children this Christmas.
