Herb Burhenn’s Class – meets in Paul George room B
The class has been studying Christian creeds and confessions. We try to understand how Christian doctrinal ideas have developed and how the formulation of these ideas differs across the many denominational traditions. This fall we shall be looking at Methodist and Baptist confessions and then at several modern Roman Catholic statements, beginning with the Council of Trent.
Pam Smith and Gary Hart’s class – meets in the conference room, next to Pastor’s office
This class started with A Purpose Driven Life. We then studied the book of James and have just finished Romans. Our discussions usually revolve around how the words of the Bible should be directing our lives in today’s world.

Sing these words from hymn 641 in our Evangelical Lutheran Worship: “All are welcome. All are welcome. All are welcome in this place.” As we sing these words, we are reminded that God’s love in Jesus Christ is offered to all people. Our response to this good news is to welcome all people the Holy Spirit sends our way. We invite them to share in our mission through worship, witness, study, and service.
As we meet and greet one another each Sunday, we realize how God has blessed us at Trinity. Since 1960, the Holy Spirit has sent many people through our church doors and we welcomed them all. But God has much more in store for us for the future. There will be more people who need to hear of Christ’s love for them and who will share their gifts for ministry with us.
Although this website is still under construction, we hope to have it updated weekly and available to anyone seeking information about the weekly events scheduled here at Trinity. Whether you’re a long-time member or you’ve never even stepped inside the building, we want to welcome one and all in this place.
May God the Father, +Son and Holy Spirit keep welcoming us into the kingdom and inspire us to always have a welcoming spirit.
In Christ’s Service,
Pastor Gary Schimmer

On this final Sunday of the church year our gospel is Jesus' great story of judgment. In the end, the faithful are those who served Christ by ministering to those who are poor, hungry, naked, sick, or estranged. In the first reading God is the shepherd who seeks the lost, weak, and injured and feeds them with justice. We gather this day to celebrate the reign of Christ and his victory over death, yet awaiting the consummation of all things yet to come. Acknowledging Christ as our merciful ruler, we go forth that his reign may be known in our loving words and deeds.
