Are you tech-savvy or love connecting virtually with others?
If so, we need your help with an important ministry here at Trinity—our live stream team! We’re looking for volunteers to fill two key roles:
· Live Stream Operator – Learn how to manage our live stream during worship services. No experience needed; training will be provided.
· Live Stream Host – Engage with our online community in real-time during the service. The best part? You can do this from anywhere!
Why is live streaming our worship services so important to TLC?
Connects TLC with those who cannot attend church in person and extends our reach beyond the church building.
Makes services accessible to everyone and promotes inclusivity.
Keeps our regular attenders connected, even when they are traveling or cannot attend a worship service in person.
Many folks looking for a church home will tune into a live stream before attending an in person event.
It helps share the Good News beyond our local congregation and lives into our mission of growing in the community.
Our viewers (or online congregation) come back week after week and depend on the community and spiritual nourishment they find in our live streams.
Please contact Pastor Joel, Jessica Sanzotti, or Tim Baughman if you are interested in helping with streaming our worship services.

Fundraiser Cards
The fundraiser cards for 2025 are now available in the church office. If you wish to purchase one they are $10.00. a piece. They make great stocking stuffers. There are coupons to many local restaurants, pizza places, ice cream shops, golf courses, sporting goods stores, and other stores. Call the church office at 724-287-1977 if you want one or come to the church office Monday through Thursday between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm.
PRAYER MINISTRY
If you are interested in being included on a text prayer chain, please send a text message to Rhonda at 724-841-9170. She will organize a group text chain that people can use when they have a prayer request for anybody in need of prayers.
A Note From the Property Ministry
To help when you see something that needs to be worked on or fixed, please use the new clip board hanging up in the Narthex to report any issue. We hope moving forward that this will help with identifying what needs to be fixed so property can get to it in a timely manner. Thanks everyone for your help.
Altar Flowers
If you paid for altar flowers for a particular week, please feel free to take the flowers after the 10:00 Sunday service.
WORSHIP INFO
The weekend service will appear on YouTube & Facebook some time on Sunday.
Devotions are also on our YouTube channel Trinity Lutheran-Butler and our Facebook page.
Church Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 9-1.
Blessed Alliance Lutheran Parish Joint Call Team
Trinity - in partnership with Rider, Emmanuel and St. John's Lutheran churches - is in the process of calling a new pastor. The candidate will join Pastor Joel in a shared pastoral leadership team in a parish partnership. The joint call team has representation from all four churches. You may have questions or concerns about this initiative or the process. If so, please feel free to reach out to any of our Trinity representatives on the team: Pastor Benson, Scott Petrak (chair), Hallie Mikes, Bob Walker, Chrissy Pollock, Mitch Hammer, and Pat Wuenstel.
Plastic
Trinity will once again be collecting plastic bags. For every 500 pounds Trinity collects, Trinity receives a free bench from Trex.
We have a volunteer at Trinity that will be taking over the processing of the plastic so we can get our benches from Trex.
A couple of notes:
Do not send plastic containers
Do not send candy wrappers
Please make sure there is no garbage with your plastic.
Channeling Solomon
Do not forget about in-person trivia on Tuesday evenings at the 11th Frame on Fairground Hill Rd 7:00 p.m. Come join the fun.
Used Eyeglasses
If you have any unwanted eyeglasses, please consider donating them to the Lion’s Club. Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers throughout the world clean and store usable recycled eyeglasses. Broken glasses are discarded, providing “scrap to cash” income that can aid local community projects. 100% of public donations to Lions clubs are used for charitable causes – none go for administrative expenses. The box to donate your used eyeglasses is in the Narthex on the Lion’s display of their products.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH RESOURCES AREA
This is just a reminder that Trinity has a spiritual growth resources area outside of the choir room. This material is free to take.
If you currently use the app GivePlus on your smart phone to donate to Trinity, this app will be nonfunctional as of February 1. You will need to download the Vanco Faith app on your phone.
Also if you are not currently giving by any electronic method, you may want to consider downloading the Vanco Faith app on your smart phone and donating to Trinity that way. It is a very convenient way to donate to your church!
