July 2025

Summer is upon us. And from the general consensus, the youth group outing to Knoebel's was a hit with all. It was such a blessing to go with such a fun-loving group of church members. I give my sincerest thanks to Beverly, and the Derr and Sutphin families for taking my grandchildren on rides I did not go on. At least I got to take pictures or sit with the dog. Blessings to ALL of you for taking the girls on the "Kozmotron"—a ride that I would not touch with a 100-foot pole. Knoebel's is a lovely park and you really do not have to go on rides to have fun. I am glad that all had a great time.

We confirmed 3 young men here on June 8. Parker Derr, Tegan Fairchild and Landan Steigerwalt. These young men have been a big help over the years and since confirmation have continued in those roles. We are blessed with their transition into being adults in the eyes of the church.

We are putting together a Vacation Bible School program which will take place August 11-12-13 from 5:30-7:30. "Exploring God's World" will allow the children to see and hear about all that God has created from the sky & land to the waters & underground. Looking forward to enriching evenings for everyone involved.

Many Lutheran churches do a program in September called "God's Work Our Hands". I'm sure we here at Trinity have done something similar in the past. This year on September 7 we will have a short service and then go help those in the community that can't do certain chores for themselves anymore or shouldn't be doing strenuous things and possibly can't pay someone to do that service for them. Depending how many volunteers, we will go as a group or several groups. This is still in the thought process. So if you have thoughts please share them. If you are up to volunteering, let us know and if you or someone you know need help please let us know as well. It is a pleasure to see all the helpful hands here at Trinity.

My installation is coming up on July 20 at the 9:30 am service I hope many of you will come to share in my excitement to be officially installed as your lay minister.

Many Blessings,

Kathy Long, LLM
