New Member Classes –
These classes are for
everyone who would like to become
part of our church family. Sessions
include learning the basics of faith formation, Lutheran tradition,
and what it means to be family at Trinity. New members will be
welcomed into Trinity’s family of believers on Sunday,
November 16th. Dates: Sundays through November 9th
Location: Office Led by: Pastor Dave and Joni Hill
The Parent/Confirmand discussion question is,
“Why is the church building important?”
TRINITY LUTHERAN IS A DROP OFF SITE FOR COATS
FOR KIDS!! Kinship Partners is collecting coats,
boots, snow pants, mittens, scarfs, and hats for
the annual Coats for Kids drive which will be held
on Saturday, November 1st at the Westgate Mall.
Between now and next Sunday, October
26th, Kinship Partners will accept any of these items of
all sizes. Please make sure they are in good condition
and that any and all zippers work. You can also drop off
coats at Crystal Cleaners where they will be stored until the
distribution event. THANK YOU!! Become a mentor for
what you can give. Stay a mentor for what you receive.
WILL YOU SHARE YOUR GARDEN HARVEST – ALL
PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD HUNGER!! Anyone
who has garden produce, flowers, and/or plants;
please bring them any Sunday. Everyone else help
yourself and put a donation in the World Hunger
container please. All funds will be forwarded to the ELCA
World Hunger program.
OCTOBER IS PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH - How can
you show your appreciation? Pray for them and their
families, give them a hug and tell your pastor how
very much you appreciate them and their families,
take them to dinner and ask what you can do to
help carry their load, give them a card and a gift
certificate, send them a heartfelt or humorous ecard, send them a personal letter telling them
how they have been an inspiration to you, cook them a meal or
treat and deliver it to their home with a smile, go up to them
and tell them what a GREAT job they are doing! If you truly
appreciate your pastor, do take the time to do something. Were
someone to ask a pastor, however, what might be done to show
appreciation to him or her, the answer would likely be, “Pray for
me.” It is also important to remember that appreciation,
affirmation and prayer support of our spiritual leaders is
appropriate throughout the entire year.
THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF
TRINITY FOR YOUR GENEROUS RESPONSE TO THE 2014
CROP WALK FOR HUNGER. The walk took place last Sunday
at Bethlehem Lutheran with Trinity being
represented with walkers and donations. We
went over are goal and provided $1065 to the
cause. These donations are providing for
current and future needs of World Hunger.
Locally, 25% of the funds are being shared by
the Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen, Operation Sandwich and the
Salvation Army. Again, thanks for expanding our mission of
caring, sharing and outreach by building a brighter future for
many children and families here and worldwide.

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DINNER - Once again this
year, the Brainerd American Legion, the
Brainerd VFW, the Brainerd Elks and the
Brainerd Eagles clubs will hold a Community
Thanksgiving Dinner for all area residents
who are shut-ins, those who would be without
family or friends, and those who would not be
able financially to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal. This
year, we have been asked by a community organization to
provide 130 more meals than we have had in the past. As a
result, our need for free will donations to offset the cost of
the dinner will be significantly increased. We are also asking
congregations to once again donate pies for the event.
Pie donations may be dropped off at the Brainerd Legion
on Wednesday, November 26th from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact the Brainerd American Legion Club Manager,
Janelle Fitch, at 218-829-2249. Thank you so much for
your support of the Community Thanksgiving Dinner!
We are fortunate to live in a community of so many
caring individuals! ~Susanne Fussy (Publicity Chairman)
VAALE CEMETERY SIGN – The September storm that came
through the Brainerd Lakes area did some extensive damage to
a lot of people’s property including Trinity’s Vaale
Cemetery. The Cemetery sign which shows the
names and locations of loved ones buried at
Vaale was destroyed and needs to be replaced.
We have some ideas on making a more
permanent Cemetery Directory and are looking
for Trinity member(s) who are experienced in laying bricks or
stones. WE also could use an experienced welder. We plan on
doing the work next spring, so we will have time to brainstorm
and come up with a permanent Cemetery Directory for Vaale
Cemetery. Please see or call Joe in the church office if
you are able and willing to be a part of this project.

PENTECOST is the longest season of the church year, lasting
the entire second half of the church year
until the first Sunday of Advent. The
season of Pentecost is a season of growing and serving. God’s
Spirit helps us to learn more about God’s Word and gives gifts
that we can use to serve others and to share the good news
with them. The color for the season is “GREEN” for
growth.
WANTED! ASSORTED CROSSES! This year’s Middle
School Gathering will be held on Friday, November 21st

home to remember that they are
loved by God, and that we take our
baptismal promises seriously! This
year we are looking for assorted
crosses from key chain size to no bigger than a square
foot. Be creative! They might be key chains, magnets,
necklaces...made out of wood, crocheted, saudered
nails...your imagination is the limit! All crosses need to
be turned in to the church office by Thursday, November
20th. Questions-See Pastor Hans. THANKS!!
