Starting January 2012, we, Trinity Lutheran Church and School, are embarking on an intentional path of prayer through the emphasis, “Lord, Teach Us To Pray.”

Family Life Ministry would like to provide you and your family a calendar that serves as a resource for growth on the lifelong JOURNEY of prayer. Along with this calendar we are offering some visual examples of each month's prayer focus. We encourage you to check out the videos and use them as an encouragement!

Meet our Family Life Ministry Team!

It is my privilege to introduce an amazing assembly of people called our Family Life Ministry team (shown below), the first of its kind at Trinity. These are the folks who are going to help pave the way in how we think about ministry to the next generation. It is a huge undertaking but all realize it is the power of the Holy Spirit guiding and leading these next steps.

Family Life Ministry in partnership with Children's Ministry presents Right from the Start

As a very first opportunity I would like to introduce a new class offering that we believe will be a blessing for families with newborn-2 year olds and parents. We are able to present this right now because we are blessed with Angela Bargmann who has a passion and gift for leading this type of ministry. What a wonderful way to get connected to other parents in this same life stage while gaining some wisdom on helping build the foundations of faith for your child. We are excited it can coincide with one of our education hours in hopes to build on that good bible study habit for the whole family! Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to this new partnership with all of you!
