BENEFIT LUNCHEON

A benefit luncheon will be held on June 29, immediately after the 10:30 worship service in the Fellowship Hall.

The menu will be Sloppy Joes with sides and desserts. Take-out containers will be available if you prefer that option. Please give as generously as you can, as all funds raised will go toward Linda’s travel and treatment expenses. Let us come together in prayer, fellowship, and generosity to help our sister in Christ during this difficult time. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”-Galatians 6:2

PRAYER GUIDE – June 15, 2025

Trinity Lutheran Church

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6–7

Dearest Lord, thank You for our church, Trinity. Thank You for the faithful men and women who have served You here since our founding. Thank You for blessing us with such devoted Pastors through the years. May I and all our members be devout in worship, and in our witness for You. Holy Spirit help us fulfill the Great Commission and reach all the lost in our community.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for a remarkable VBS! Bless the many people that came together to share the Good News of our Savior with the children that attended. Continue to help those seeds grow into a life of faith in Jesus.

Good Shepherd, bless our Evangelism Callers who go out every Monday evening. Raise up more men and women to become callers to reach the thousands in our community who do not have salvation.

Loving Father, watch over and bless our shut-ins: Anelle Genail, Linda Cross, Lois Vowels, Darlene Robinson, Shirley Fuller, Sue Eyler, Alvin Wehking, Jessie Miller, Cindy Hoverson, Rick Hitchens, Dan Huff, Ellen Reno, Janice McDevitt, Roy Truman, Nancy Shannon, Tudy Devor, Sherry Garrison, Cheril Hefner, Mary Ranger, Wayne Reno, David Olson, Marjorie Stone, Mary Kuhnert, and Richard Linden.

O Great Physician, be with all who are struggling with cancer: Harold Olson, David Smith, Kristy Melton, Crissi Harvey, Kathy Anderson, Diana Rooney, Amy Keys, Manny Ramos, Wayne Hundley, Judy Dissen, Thomas Rockey, Glenda Griffin. I praise You that Jane Allen is now cancer-free!

Great Redeemer, I come before You today, asking for wisdom and strength to guard my words. Help me to resist the temptation to gossip, to speak only what is true, kind, and uplifting. Give me the courage to walk away from negative conversations or redirect the discussion toward goodness. Let my words reflect Your love and grace, bringing encouragement rather than harm.

Almighty God, also watch over and protect these young people in the Armed Services: Jeremy Hanshaw, Jennifer Lassen, Travis Hooper,

Romonn Calhoun, Dylan Klawuhn, Derrick Reyes, Joshua Blasi, Michael Krock, Robert Berry, Aaron Cairo, Libby Harper, Shane Gierstorf, Cameron Fridell, Ethan Piper, MacKenzie Forbes, Michael Forbes, Kiah Cockrell, Joshua Hughes, Conner Simmers, and Nora Richter.

Thank You, our Great Provider, for the gift of the recent rains. I pray that we will have seasonable weather this growing season, and plentiful rains, but not enough to cause flooding, in order to provide for a bountiful harvest in the fall.

Gracious Savior, I’m thankful for those that plan the exciting bus trips for our congregation. Bless them as they plan the remaining events for this year. Watch over their travels and bless those that give of their time to drive the coach. Inspire more of our members to get involved and attend.
