Other Ministry Opportunities

Listed below are various opportunities for ministry and fellowship at Trinity. If you have any questions about these groups, please contact the contact person listed or the church office.

Altar Guild
The Altar Guild is in charge of preparing the sanctuary for services, including baptisms and weddings. Duties include taking care of the altar area (chancel), preparing Communion, taking care of the candles and flowers, and coordinating decorating the church for Easter and Christmas. Volunteers work in pairs, typically for one month of the year.
Chair: Diane Weber
Meeting Times: Twice a year, on a Sunday in fall and in January or February, 9:15am

Books & Breakfast
The Books & Breakfast Group meets at church the third Saturday of each month at 9am for a light breakfast and discussion of a book. What's nice about the Books & Breakfast Group is that you don't have to commit to coming every month -- if you only make it to one session or a few, you're still very welcome to come! If you plan to attend, please RSVP by the Wednesday prior to the study, so we're sure to prepare enough food for all. See the Upcoming Activities page for a schedule of which books we'll be discussing.
Contact person: Diane Weber

Coffee Hour
Coffee Hour happens September through May after the 9am worship service. It's a great way to gather socially as a congregation and welcome visitors to Trinity! There are two ways to get involved:

• Make it a habit to be in Fellowship Hall after church for some coffee and treats.
• Sign up to be the Coffee Hour host for one or more Sundays. Directions and supplies for making coffee are in the kitchen, and you provide the treat. Sign-up sheets are in Fellowship Hall. It’s easy & fun!

Greeters
Greeters are needed for all worship services to help make members and visitors feel welcome at Trinity. Everyone through our doors is greeted with a smile, handshake and word of welcome.
Coordinator: Lois Helm

Ladies Lunch Bunch
Lunch Bunch is a great way to gather socially with other ladies of our church. They usually meet on the second Friday of the month, at a different restaurant each month. Just give Diane a call when you see the notice in the Sunday bulletin. If you need a ride, just ask -- we'll find someone to pick you up.
Contact person: Diane Markgraf

Ministers Of Hospitality
Ministers of Hospitality assist in welcoming visitors with a packet of information and by answering any of their questions.
Coordinator: Dennis Schultz

Prayer Chain
Prayer is such an integral part of our lives as Christians. In prayer, we bring our thanks, praise, concerns and requests to God, with the promise from Jesus that as we use his name, God is bound to listen and to answer. If you are anxious about anything and feel that additional prayer support would help you, or if your cup is overflowing with blessings and you'd like to offer more than just your own thanks to God, please let the prayer chain know. These people will pray for you, or for anyone in need, for any concern you have. They don't ask questions -- they just raise your petitions to the Lord. If you have a prayer request, please contact Jeanne Mueller or the church office.

A prayer chain is a powerful and effective ministry in which anyone can participate. Please contact Jeanne Mueller if you are interested in joining.

Quilters
The Quilters assemble quilts for distribution to Lutheran World Relief and other places of need. Anyone is welcome to join, and those who can't come on Mondays can help out at home by cutting and sewing together squares, and making quilt backs. No experience necessary! You can also donate materials, such as clean bedsheets, bedspreads, fabric and blankets.
Contact Person: Carolyn Anderson
Meeting Times: First and third Mondays of each month, 9am

The dedicating and blessing of quilts, health kits and school kits on "Quilt Sunday."

Readers
At regular worship services, members of the congregation read the Scripture lessons. Dialogue or dramatic readings are other possible opportunities for members of this team.
Coordinator: Sharon Oberheu

Sacramental Assistants
Sacramental assistants participate with the pastor in the distribution of Holy Communion. The assistant distributes the wine and has the opportunity to lead the congregation in two prayers. A short training session is provided.
Coordinator: Sue Maronde

Trinity’s softball team participates in Cedarburg's Church Softball League. Games are held Thursday nights (times vary) in the ballpark across from Cedar Creek Park, from approximately May through August. Participation is open to members of Trinity (both men and women) from high school age on up.
