July 10, 2016
WELCOME GUESTS!
We are glad you’re here! Here are a few
things we thought you would like to know
to help you feel at home with us today.
When we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we
do so convinced that Jesus gives us His
true body and blood for the forgiveness of
our sins. Receiving the Lord’s Supper expresses not only fellowship with the Lord,
but also agreement with the teachings of
this congregation. Communicant members of LC-MS congregations are always
welcome to commune with us. All other
guests are kindly asked to speak with the
pastor before the service. Thank you for
respecting our position of love when it comes to
this delicate matter.
The offering is an opportunity for our members
to support the Lord’s work at Trinity. As our
guest, we ask only that you fill out the GUEST
side of an attendance card and place that in the
offering basket during this time.
Restrooms are located in the large room adjacent to the sanctuary. Our ushers will be glad to
point you in the proper direction.
Hearing Assistance– This facility is equipped
with a hearing assistance system.
Please ask an Usher for a receiver.
Children are always welcome to worship with
us. However, for your convenience, a nursery is
1
available for parents with children 3 years
old and younger. It is located on the office
level in the childcare room on the right. The
nursery is staffed during the 9:15am Bible
Study hour & 10:45 am service. Parents may
use this room during the 8:00 am service as
well, being able to watch the service projected on the TV located in that room.
In service to Christ,
PASTOR CARL LEHENBAUER
PASTOR JOSHUA RUSERT
While it’s true that school is out for summer, we assure you that a great deal of activity continues in Trinity’s Early Childhood Center. Eating fun treats, playing in a boat, helping “Grandpa
Buzzie” with the garden & chores, going for walks, and learning to be “budding artists” are just
a few of the things that Trinity’s dedicated Early Childhood staff do with the children God has
given them to watch while mom and dad are away at work. We praise God for this amazing
ministry and all who work in the Early Childhood Center for they truly love the children placed
in their care!

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which
path to take. Proverbs 3:6
Thank You, Lord, for Your peace that passes all understanding, so that we can be calm in the midst of our
storms. Thank You for daily protection. Thank You
for bringing purpose and new meaning into our lives.
Serving You, Lord is never a task but a fulfillment, it
feels so good to serve You our Master, for without
You we are nothing. Knowing You are always good,
we raise up…..Amen.
 Nina Kreienbrink & David Froehling (who were
married on Saturday)
 Young adults and their chaperones (traveling to
New Orleans for the Youth Gathering)
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do
flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
God, I humbly ask of You to help me focus on Truth
instead of the trial. Help me to give thanks instead of
giving into fear. Help me to choose joy instead of anger. Help me to trust in Your power instead of my
plan. Above all, may I elevate Your name instead of
my own. May Thy will be done in the lives of all, especially… Amen.

JULY’S PRAYER:
Couples struggling with infertility
Dear Lord, the pain of infertility is so deep. All of our
lives, we dream of being a parent, of raising children
with loving hearts to do Your will on this earth.
Month after month when that dream does not come
true, it so painful, Lord. We feel like our dreams die
each month with empty arms. Please guide us to trust
in Your plan for us. We desperately need You in our
lives. Thank You for all the blessings we do have,
knowing through You all things are possible. Amen.

JULY 23 & 30, 2016
Following the 5:00 service
Held in Trinity’s Sanctuary
Join Vicar Aaron for a two week study on how and when to bring the Gospel into every day
conversations.
Synopsis: As Christians, we sometimes take for granted the importance of speaking the Gospel
to other Christians. We think the Gospel is for the unchurched and other Christians don't need
to hear it because they already know it. However, Paul tells us that we need to be speaking Jesus into every conversation with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, to all of the people who donated cakes, food, and flowers to the picnic
on the 4th of July. A special thank you to all of the volunteer workers who gave of their time to work in the
kitchen. The LWML appreciates you!
Raising the Walls - Building a Habitat Home
Saturday, July 16th, from 11:00am-1:00pm we will be raising walls at the Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity
handicap accessible home at 170 N Park Street in Port
Washington. We would love for you to come out, help
raise a wall and learn more about what Habitat for Humanity is doing in Ozaukee County. The first wall will go up at 11:00am.
Come early July 16th and help prep the walls for the event. The regular work days on the house will
be Wednesday’s and Saturday’s weather permitting from 9 am – 3pm. If you would like to help build the walls we are
raising or would like to come out on one of our other work days, please contact our volunteer coordinator Judy Allen
at [email protected].
You will also have an opportunity to learn how you can help Habitat for Humanity Ozaukee by sponsoring 2X4’s and
2X6’s, other building materials, or by simply making a monetary donation. Lunch will be provided by the Ozaukee County Chapter of Thrivent Financial and the Chapter will also match the first $1000 of donations raised from the event.
RSVP’s are appreciated but are not necessary to Diana at 262-375-0309 or [email protected].
Thank you again for helping us make a difference in the lives of others in Ozaukee County.
Nursery attendants are an important part of Trinity’s ministry and we are looking for individuals who would be
willing to serve their Lord and church family in this capacity. Volunteers are scheduled
no more than 6 times a year serving every other month.
T3 (Trinity Time Together) needs two volunteers from 9:15-10:30 a.m. and one volunteer is needed for the 10:45 a.m. service. If you have volunteered in the past and
would be willing to continue or if you would like more information on serving in the
nursery please call Carol Boehlke at 262.242.4862.
As a consideration, if you use the nursery we ask that you would perhaps return the
favor by volunteering your time so other parents can take advantage of Bible study and
worship. THANK YOU!

TRINITY TO HAVE INFORMATION
BOOTH AT COUNTY FAIR
Trinity is participating with the other LCMS churches in
Ozaukee County in having an information booth at the
Ozaukee County Fair, August 3-7. Along with First Immanuel-Cedarburg, St. Paul-Grafton, and Beautiful Savior-Mequon, Trinity needs volunteers to take a two
hour shift between 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on any

meet people and represent our church in the community. You can sign up as an individual or in pairs. Even
whole

up.
