TLC's Busy Quilters

Over the past year, this dedicated group of women have been very busy constructing and sewing quilts. In October we'll have a blessing of the quilts. On that Sunday, you'll be able to see the beautiful quilts this group has made for Lutheran World Relief and other organizations in need.

Please consider donating:
Shipping boxes
Sheets and pillow cases -- any size or color
White thread
Cotton fabric -- any color

Any donations can be dropped off at the Quilters room, off of Fellowship Hall. If you have questions, please call Carolyn Anderson.

Stewardship Committee News

Have you heard the news? Trinity has a Stewardship Committee that is relatively new, but is alive and functioning. Our goal throughout the coming season will be to bring ideas and suggestions to the congregation about what it means to be a Christian steward. Sometimes the term "stewardship" raises some negative feedback. We know that money is a component of good stewardship, but it is only ONE of many. In September we will have a special emphasis beginning on Rally Day (Sept. 12). We are all aware that this is God's world, and all that we have is really not our own.

In the coming months we will be bringing attention to:

• Care of ourselves
• Care of God's creation
• Care of our possessions
• Care of our talents

The current members of the committee are: Dennis Schultz, Bill Clayton, Dave Griffiths, Dave Klitz, Eric and Karen Krieg, Billy Campolo and Jeanne Mueller (Council rep). If you have questions or wish to become a part of us, please contact Dennis Schultz, dennis@trinitycedarburg.org.

Trinity History News

The Trinity History Committee has been very busy this year. We started by gathering anything that might be of historical value from around the Church, Parish Hall and Educational buildings.

We then started the sort and organize process. We have sorted through bulletins, Tidings, miscellaneous documents and various meeting minutes. We have been organizing and filing them by month and year. This process will take a few more months to complete. Our next step will be to organize pictures and newspaper articles. We are looking for any pictures that you or someone you know might have of Trinity, its members or the many activities that involve our Church. We will scan and return your photos to you.

If you have anything you would like to share about Trinity's past, please let one of the committee members know. We look forward to hearing from you.

Bell Choir News

Trinity's bell choirs had a great 2009-10 year. We tried some new and exciting pieces of music and more new ringing techniques.

The Next Generation choir was a fun and talented group of ringers. They were successful with every challenge thrown at them.

Hallelujah Handbells tried some new and very difficult pieces of music this past year. Everyone worked hard -- even when the consensus was that the song would be impossible to ring. Heather Wagner was again patient in teaching and directing the group so that Mark could ring.

Both choirs need ringers. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays. The Next Generation meets at 6:15pm and runs until 7, and is for kids starting in 3rd grade through any age, including adults. The Hallelujah Handbells starts at 7pm and runs until 8, and is for high school age and up. Come give ringing a try.

Rehearsals start Wednesday, Sept. 8. If you have any questions, please contact Mark Anderson.
