TRINITY’S MISSION STATEMENT: “In grateful response to God’s grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacraments, the mission of Trinity Lutheran Church, Hoffman, Illinois is to make known the love of Christ by word and deed within our congregation, community and the world (John 20:23, 1 Peter 2:9, Matthew 28:18-20). Our congregation’s members will be equipped through the Word of God to live as witnesses of Christ’s love.”
THE LORD’S SUPPER: One of the great joys of the Christian faith is receiving God's good gifts through Christ in his word and sacrament. To receive this wonderful meal in a beneficial way there is a scriptural criteria that involves examining oneself (1 Cor. 11:28) , recognizing the body and blood of Christ (1 Cor. 10:16-1; 11:27), and unity in Christ and his teachings (1 Cor. 1:10. 11:15, Matthew 28:19-20). If you are not part of a sister Lutheran congregation or have never taken communion here before please speak first to Pastor Krenz before receiving communion here at Trinity.
VERSE OF THE WEEK: 1 Peter 1:22
FLOWERS ON THE ALTAR: Flowers on the altar today are in memory of Shirley Twenhafel who went to heaven 10 years ago on August 13, 2008. Always missed by Shirley’s Family.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL: This has been a busy month already at school. We started with a Back to School Library Bash. The students had fun listening to stories and doing some activities. The staff all pitched in to help this day be a great success. The next day, the staff attended the Day of Spiritual Renewal in Edwardsville where we celebrated the beginning of a new school year with other Lutheran Educators in the Southern Illinois District. Registration was held on the 7th. It looks like enrollment is nearly identical to the past few years. We are excited to welcome a few new students to our family here at Trinity this year. We hosted the local Lutheran Professional Development Day on Friday for the area teachers. We enjoyed devotions, activities, lunch, and a presentation from Mr. Jeffrey Fick, SID Educational Executive, on the NLSA process. Everyone has been busy moving things around, cleaning, and preparing for the students to arrive on the 15th. We are having a Back to School Picnic prior to the opening chapel this year. The Farmers State Bank has partnered with our PTL to sponsor this time of fellowship for our families as we begin this new year. Thank you to everyone who has helped prepare us for a successful beginning of the 2018-2019 school year! Please keep our school in your prayers.
Blessings on your day,

I am so excited to introduce myself to the parents and students of Trinity Lutheran School! My name is Sara Kuper, and I will be joining the teaching staff for the 2018-2019 school year. I’m sure some have questions, so I wanted to give some information about both my personal and professional life. My husband, James, and I have been blessed with two kids - Eli, who is in kindergarten here at Trinity and Zoe who is 4. My family and I are members at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ferrin where I serve as one of the youth leaders.
I am a Carlyle High School graduate. After that I went to Kaskaskia College for two years, and then transferred to Eastern Illinois University where I got my bachelor’s degree. I received my master’s degree in education from SIU-E in 2016. I have endorsements in mathematics, English, and library science. I have spent the last ten years teaching at Centralia Junior High School. CJHS is where I did my student teaching and I was blessed to then be offered a job at the school as well. The majority of my time spent at CJHS has been teaching 7th grade math, however at the beginning of my career I also taught English and two enrichment type classes.
I wasn’t searching to leave my current job, but when this opportunity arose I was very excited. Our family devotion the night I made the decision to apply was of Jesus calling his disciples - this reminder that we are called to serve Him really reinforced my desire to work at Trinity. I know that a large part of what makes Trinity successful is the support of the families, and I look forward to working with all of you. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” I am so excited about helping the students to build the foundational relationship with Christ that is so important in all of our lives. I am very excited about moving to Trinity to teach not only academics, but also to share the love of Jesus with the students. If I haven’t met you yet, I look forward to doing so soon!
