Life in God's Garden: Seeds of Generosity - Saturday, May 30 9am-5pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lynwood and Lynnwood Community Center. Please join us for this full day to celebrate, learn, and connect around the theme of generosity. This is generosity rooted in God's abundant love for creation. Generosity of time, space, talents, and money. Generosity of our hearts.

We will center our time in worship at 9am with song, communion, preaching by Bishop Shelley, and gratitude and blessing for our Synod VP Kay Edgerton who will be concluding her term this summer. We will then welcome our keynote presenter, Rev. Tim Brown, ELCA director for congregational stewardship. Following lunch, there will be 2 afternoon workshop times - with a total of 22 options from local leaders! (Use this link to see the full list of workshops) As we prepare to close the day, we will re-gather for a sending service - including time to install our newly elected synod council officers and members.

Cost is $40/person which includes the program and lunch. If you are interested, you can register here.

Let’s make it festive and wear a hat to church that day!  Your choice, fashion, ballpark, fascinator, western or a French beret, all styles welcome.

Pentecost is Sunday May 24th and we will be celebrating with a New Orleans style jazz worship!

Volunteer needed!  Luther’s Table is growing, and with that growth comes a need for additional support.
Luther's Table is currently looking for a regular volunteer to help clean the kitchen and bathrooms once a week. This behind-the-scenes role is an important part of making sure the space remains welcoming and ready for the many people who gather there each week.

If you or someone in your community might be interested, please reach out to Deacon Bobbi at director@lutherstable.com

As many of you know we are bringing holy closure to our Preschool later this month. For over five decades, our Preschool has been on a "journey" of faith, love, and learning for so many children. This ministry in the Cascade community was a constant factor for many families through the years! Friendships and lifelong memories have come from of this ministry! There are two opportunities for you as members of our congregation to support this outreach as it comes to a close. 

"Preschool Graduation" is on Tuesday, May 19 in the sanctuary at 6:00 pm. It is not a very long program. It is an uplifting and fun experience filled with songs and recognition.

Celebration Open House is on Thursday, May 21 from 4:30 to 6:30 with a short program at 5:30 in the Education Building. This will be a special time as we have invited former teachers, current and alumni students along with their families to this event. It will be a time of fellowship and food to honor the legacy of the teachers and students through the years. Please gather with us in "Celebration" and "Gratitude" as we give thanks for our Preschool!

-Thank you, The Preschool Committee

We are in the process of updating the church directory.  Please check your information on one of the lists out on the narthex table.  Put a check mark next to your name if your information is correct.  Or please make additions or corrections as needed so the office can get this updated.

This is a friendly reminder to be sure to sign the attendance folders every Sunday. They are in the little red folders on the end of the pew. Please pass them down the row so everyone in your pew can register their attendance.
