TEACHER/DAYCARE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
The Christmas season is here and Trinity's Parent Council is once again asking you to please help us thank our hardworking and dedicated Trinity school teachers and childcare staff. We are asking you, our school families, to contribute whatever you can monetarily (cash, checks) in appreciation for the invaluable Christian education being provided to our children. A brief note of thanks or drawing will be equally appreciated.
Please drop your gifts in either the school office or daycare no later than Friday, December 14 (envelopes are available in both locations for your convenience). Please include your child/children's name and use the handy checkboxes to specify the educator(s) for whom your gift is intended. If you have any questions, please reach out to either John or Liesl Ross (262-574-0402) who are coordinating this effort on behalf of the Parent Council.
Yours in Christ,
John and Liesl Ross

GRADES 1-8 CHRISTMAS SERVICE INFORMATION
Saturday, December 15, is the Grades 1-8 Christmas Service
at 3:30 & 5:30 pm.
Because of possible parking and seating congestion, we are encouraging parents whose child's last name ends in A-L attend the 5:30 pm service, while the parents whose child's last name ends in M-Z attend the 3:30 pm service. The children are expected to attend both services.
More details below:
- You may arrive as early as 2:00 pm for the first service and 4:30 pm for the second service. For the first service, children are to sit with their parents until 3:10 pm, at which time they should report to their classrooms.
- Children will receive a snack in their classrooms between the services.
- Once the pre-service music begins, we ask that out of courtesy to the musicians, you listen quietly and silence your cell phones.
- Pictures may be taken by the Christmas tree at the following times: 2:00-2:30 & 4:30-4:50, or after the 2nd service.
- Students are to be picked up in their classrooms immediately after the 2nd service.
HELP NEEDED TO REACH A MILLION SOULS THIS CHRISTMAS
Did you know our WELS congregations are working together (called C18) to aggressively reach a million souls this special season to learn more of the Savior Jesus under the theme: “A Light in the Darkness”? More importantly, we want our friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-workers to learn of Jesus as Savior to go to heaven. This season, your Trinity Evangelism Commission has purchased 4,000 invite cards and 150 lawn signs as tools to help our congregation reach many people in Waukesha County. These witness tools are intended to help YOU more easily share your Christian joy and faith with others. THIS week, take an invite card (or more) and share it with someone you know (your FRAN who is your: Friends, Relatives, Associates, Neighbors) or even put it up at your gym, place of work, grocery store, etc. to welcome them to Christmas services here.
Even share the Trinity Christmas Facebook post from this past week with others!
NEW THIS YEAR – take a full-color yard sign (and stand) and immediately put it up on your lawn inviting your neighbors to Trinity this Christmas. The signs are available by the piano in the Trinity Room. The signs are FREE, but just sign up if/when you take one (name/cell). Hang on to your sign and use it NEXT year. For more info, please speak with Evangelism chairman Brad Tildahl 262-203-1272 or Pastor Oelhafen 262-442-8568.
