Trinity TrumpeterChurch Calendar“LIVE” DIVINE SERVICE Each week,
our 10:30 am service will stream live on YouTube! Go to our page on YouTube: “Trinity Lutheran Church Norman, Oklahoma”.
MEMORIAL DAY
The church offices and ELC will be closed on Monday, May 25th in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.
SENIORS
On Thursday, May 7th at 11:30 a.m., Trinity’s seniors group will meet at Olive Garden 117 Ed Noble Pkwy in Norman (this is their last meeting for May). The seniors will continue to meet at different restaurants around Norman throughout the summer. Although we will not be driving the bus, we encourage you to carpool together from the church. Come join us for food and fellowship.
ALTAR CARE TRAINING
All ladies in our congregation are invited to learn how to set up Communion for Sunday services. It is a very important way to serve! If you are interested, the training will be on May 17th at 9:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary. This is open to all ladies of our congregation newly confirmed age and up! We always have one person for each service (8:00 a.m. & 10:30 a.m.) volunteer for a month at a time. For your first month, you will have someone set up with you!
CONFIRMATION RECEPTION
You’re Invited!
The entire congregation is invited to join us in celebrating our confirmands at the upcoming confirmation reception on Sunday May 3rd, immediately after 2nd service. This is a special opportunity to recognize and support these students after two years of faithful study, growth, and commitment.
Your presence is a powerful way to encourage them as they take this next step in their faith journey. Please come, celebrate, and show your support for these young members of our church family!
UPCOMING MUSIC EVENTS
With Easter behind us and the summer just a few weeks away, many of our music activities are winding down! But there are still some opportunities ahead.
The choir will meet for a few more weeks to prepare music for Ascension Day and the Day of Pentecost. After that, they will be on their summer break until September. Thank you to all those who participated over the past year!
The bell choir is now on break until the fall, when they will resume practices for Reformation Day. Thank you to all who rang with us – we had some of the highest participation the ensemble has ever seen!
Instrumentalists to supplement our services are also going on pause for a while. But this summer, I would like to try getting some of our recent confirmands involved with some church music specifically designed for young musicians. Keep an ear out for them, and if you have or know of a student with a musical gift, please let me know!
The next hymn sing will be upon us this summer (likely early June)! Though the date is still TBD, I am planning for the next one to carry the theme “Hymns of the Trinity” given its close proximity to Holy Trinity Sunday. Next month’s newsletter and bulletins closer to that date will have more information.
Finally, I would like to mention again that I have begun a music recording archive for our church on YouTube! Hymns sung by our church are the focus at the moment, with plans to add anthems and other musical performances in the future. If you would like to have a listen, I encourage you to visit youtube.com/@tlcnormanmusic.
For the glory of God,

Say Aloha to Tropical Trek Vacation Bible School!
Sunday, July 19th-Wednesday, July 22nd
TLC Fellowship Hall
Family Dinner served at 5:15 pm
VBS 6pm-8pm
During Tropical Trek, kids will explore God’s Word (the Bible) and discover how God finds and helps us in every situation we encounter in life. Our world is filled with exciting things to explore and enjoy. But there are also challenges and hardships we face along the way. Our loving and powerful God desires to help us. He seeks us out and leads us to faith. We can trust in Him!
All kids ages 4-just completed 5th grade are invited on a Hawaiian Adventure this summer. We will have crafts, music, storytelling, Bible challenges, and games every night. Dinner is served for all families and volunteers before the evening begins. Please invite your friends and families to come. VBS and the dinner is free to all and it is a missionary outreach for our church. Register online at our website or at the VBS table in the Narthex.
VBS also needs volunteers! If you are willing to get a little silly and are too old to attend VBS, we can use your help. There are so many ways to get involved, whether it’s decorating, helping with the dinner, running registration, being a group guide, or a station leader. And you get a free Thrivent t-shirt! VBS volunteer training will be held Thursday, July 9th from 7pm-8pm in the Fellowship Hall. Volunteer at the VBS table or online.
If you have any questions contact VBS Director Beth Brown at 405-250-6579 or banders@flash.net.
