Trinity Lutheran Church

We understand life can be difficult and believe God's loving presence is experienced through people caring for one another.

If you are feeling in need of care or support, please read through this list of care groups we have at Trinity. If you don't see a group listed here, and would like to start one, please contact Julie Jolivette at jjolivette@trinitylc.org

Bereavement Comforters offer support to those who are grieving. Comforters walk beside people through the first 13 months of life transitions caused by the death of a loved one. When you experience the death of a loved one, please contact the Church Office by calling 651-439-7400. Contact Pastor Candee Moser via email or at 651-439-7400, ext. 107 with questions.

Are you currently the primary caregiver of a loved one or perhaps grieving the loss of a loved one or someone dear to you? We are a group with experience in both of these life-changing situations. If you feel the need for support, please join us on the first Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. in the Narthex. For more information or questions, contact Lois Berglund at 651-748-1606.

Can you think of anything more exciting or joy filled than welcoming a new baby or child into a family? If not, then perhaps you’d like to consider becoming a member of the New Child Welcome Team. These team members welcome the new addition with a personal visit and a gift bag filled with handmade items, invitations and helpful resource material. If you’d like to become a member of this team or if you know of someone who has recently welcomed a new addition to their family, please contact Diane Rollie at 439-7400, ext. 141 or via email.

The Hospital Visitation Team is a group of trained volunteers who express care and concern on behalf of Trinity, provide a listening presence and offer prayer with Trinity members who are hospitalized. Confidentiality is respected. Please let us know of any hospitalization by contacting Pastor Candee Moser, 439-7400, ext. 107 or via email. If you need immediate pastoral support, call 439-7400, ext 222.

The people of Trinity want to surround the bereaved with the hope and comfort of God’s eternal love by creating meaningful funerals or memorials for grieving families and friends. The Hospitality Team helps grieving families plan a menu, obtain the food, serve and clean up. If you are interested in joining this committee and/or would be willing to bake when called upon, please contact Gerrie Granquist, 439-2283, or via email.

People in the prayer chain pray individually for requests received. To be a part of this confidential ministry contact Jan Most at 436-7264

Prayer is a wonderful way to offer care and support to one another. Trinity’s Prayer Ministry keeps all prayer requests confidential. To make a prayer request, fill out a card or contact Diane at 439-7400, ext. 141.

Every Tuesday; 1:15-2 p.m. - Office Conference Room
Prayer group members gather together to pray for those who have requested prayer. New members are always welcome. To be a part of the Tuesday Prayer Group, contact Diane Rollie at 651-439-7400, ext. 141, or via email.
