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

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. THANKS!!

"A Fig Leaf?" - A little boy opened the big and old family Bible
with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them.
Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and
looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been
pressed between the pages. "Momma, look what I found," the boy
called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think
it's Adam's suit"
”No Laughing Matter" - Little Johnny came downstairs
bellowing loudly. His mother asked, "What's the matter now?"
"Dad was hanging pictures, and just hit his thumb with a
hammer," said Johnny through his tears. "That's not so serious,"
soothed his mother. "I know you're upset, but a big boy like you
shouldn't cry at something like that. Why didn't you just laugh?" "I
did!" sobbed Johnny.
"Back Seat Driver?" - Junior had just received his brand new
drivers license. To celebrate, the whole family trooped out to the
driveway and climbed into the car for his inaugural drive. Dad
immediately headed to the back seat, directly behind the newly
minted driver. "I'll bet you're back there to get a change of
scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat
teaching me how to drive," said the beaming boy to his ol' man.
"Nope," came dad's reply, "I'm gonna sit here and kick the back of
your seat as you drive, just like you've been doing to me for
sixteen years."
WANTED! ASSORTED CROSSES! This year’s Middle
School Gathering will be held on Friday, November 21st
at Cragun’s Resort. Each year for the Middle School
Gathering, we ask congregations to
invest in the faith life of our youth by
creating a symbol the youth can take
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!!

NO REGRETS - At one time or another we all regret
something. You may regret something you said, or that you
didn’t say something. You may regret that you stayed too late,
or that you went too early. You may regret that you won
something, or that you lost. But in all your life, you’ll never
regret being kind. - Anonymous
DID YOU KNOW TRINITY HAS A BUSINESS
DIRECTORY?? ALSO, FOR THE TRINITY BUSINESS
MEMBERS WHO ARE LISTED IN OUR BUSINESS
DIRECTORY; IT’S TIME TO UPDATE THE
INFORMATION. The purpose of the Business Directory is
to showcase the various services of our
Trinity members. When you need a
painter, a plumber, a handyman, a
roofer, a doctor, a dentist, a
veterinarian, a hair stylist, a financial
counselor, an estate planner or any other business or service
provider, would you prefer doing business with a member of
your church rather than randomly selecting a name out of
the phone book? OF COURSE!! Do you know ALL the
members of your church that provide the services listed
above? PROBABLY NOT! Why does your church need an
online business directory? It is well-known that people feel
more comfortable doing business with someone they have
something in common with rather than a complete stranger.
It is also well-known that some businesses are struggling to
survive in today’s difficult economic environment. The goal is
to have it available on our website as well as copies made
that can be added to the church pictorial directory. From a
link on our church website, you will have instant access to an
online business directory listing the businesses and services
provided by FELLOW CHURCH MEMBERS. Trinity
Lutheran Church will not endorse or promote any
of these businesses, but merely provide the
information as a resource. A directory is simply a
list of professionals or businesses, and no
recommendations or guarantees will be made regarding the
quality of service you might expect from any of those listed.
This Directory will only list businesses and services provided
by Trinity members. For more information, or to sign
up, OR to update your information; please see Joe or
Joan in the church office (218-825-9059) or
[email protected]
The Jolly Freetimers will meet at 12:00 noon,
Tuesday, November 11th at Edgewood Vista. The meal will be
$10.00. Doris Stengel will present "The Circle of Life in
Words". Doris writes poetry and
has published writings. A good and fun time will
be held by all. WHO ARE THE JOLLY
FREETIMERS?? They are an adult organization for retired

NEXT SUNDAY IS NOISY CAN SUNDAY!! - Every first
Sunday of the month, we will have a “NOISY
CAN SUNDAY” for the purpose of collecting
some coins for the ELCW World Hunger
program. At the beginning of the service,
several metal cans will be passed through the congregation to
collect the loose change in your pocket. It is surprising how
pocket change adds up! Thank You!!
NEXT SUNDAY IS FOOD SHELF SUNDAY!! –Trinity's Food
Shelf is being used by more people who
are in need. Please consider bringing a
food item or making a monetary
donation to Trinity's Food Shelf.
GREETERS AND READERS NEEDED!! We are need of
volunteers to sign up to be Greeters and
Readers on Sunday mornings. Greeters are the
first people to welcome a new person or family.
Their primary task of a Greeter is to create an initial atmosphere
of love, unity and enthusiasm for our Sunday morning
worshipers, especially our visitors. Please consider signing
up on the Greeter and Reader Charts located on the
bulletin board by the church office. Thank You!!
