Hope In Action
Faith motivates us to be in service to our neighbors. Join us on the second Sunday of each month at 9 AM in Wagenhals Hall for a different project benefiting our various neighbors. From assembling blessing bags to creating encouraging art; from preparing food for foster families to collecting coats for cold kids--- we're always up to something good. Everyone is welcome to join us! ​

Delivery Drivers
Each week, we deliver the altar flowers from the Sunday service to members and friends of our congregation. Sign up to deliver one week and brighten someone's day! OR Pick up Sharing Care In-Kindness donations (clothing, canned goods, etc) for local programs and drop off the items to their destinations (non-profit agencies).
Prayer Shawls
"Prayer Shawls" are created with yarn, knitting and crocheting needles, prayers, and love! Completed prayer shawls cover, embrace, warm, and assure shawl recipients of God's sure presence as well as the prayers lifted by the shawl makers and the community of family at Trinity English Lutheran Church. "Pocket Prayer Quits" are miniature in size and made especially for you to slip into your pocket. These are another great reminder of God's love! If you are interested in receiving or delivering a Shawl or Pocket Prayer please click the "Sign Up" button below. We will contact you by email and schedule a time to have you stop by the church to pick up your item. We are also seeking more people to create Prayer Shawls! For more information please call the church office at 260-426-3424 extension 2320.
