Bueltmann Open House

Pastor Kevin and Tawn invite you all to an Open House at their new home on Sunday, July 29, a-er

The Bueltmanns’ new address is 146 McCaffery Lookout Trail, Bigfork.

Direc�ons from Camp Trinity:

Go north on Highway 35 about two miles past the Highway 82 intersec�on. Turn right at McCaffery

Road (signs for Big Sky Bible Camp and Schellinger Gravel). Then go another two miles and go un-

der the McCaffery Ranch archway, which is a quarter mile past Big Sky Bible Camp. When you get

to a “T” intersec�on in the subdivision, take a le- to the first house on the right.

Direc�ons from Kalispell:

You could go south on Highway 93 and then take Highway 82. Then follow the

direc�ons above. If taking Highway 35 south, we're about three miles south of

The Church at Creston - Lutheran. The le- turn onto McCaffery Road is shortly

a-er the blue-roofed storage units and Bigfork Physical Therapy.

Pastor Cutler Returning Tuesday

Pastor Cutler, Joann and their family have been away on an Alaskan cruise. They are

scheduled to return Tuesday, July 24, so please pray for safe travels for all of them.

Pastor Cutler’s 30th Anniversary of His Ordination

Let’s come together and give a very special show of apprecia�on for Pastor Cutler for his

30 years in the ministry. We will be having a door offering today and all the dona�ons will

go towards giving Pastor Cutler and Joann a “Montana Adventure Package“! This may con-

tain anything from horse packing to white water ra-ing to a liEle getaway. Doing anything

for 30 years is tough, but someone who has shared the gospel with so many and who has

been such a dedicated servant deserves some real recogni�on. They will receive their gi- at the

church picnic next Sunday, July 29.

Stephen Ministry Training

Stephen Ministry Referrals… we all know someone… Someone in crisis who doesn’t know where to turn.

Someone who is tense, upset, worn out – needing someone to talk with and care.

You’d like to help – but how? There are three easy steps.

Listen and care for your friend in your own rela�onship together.

Ask your friend for permission to share his or her need with someone who can help. Be sure to

tell your friend that all informa�on will be kept confiden�al.

Once permission is given, report his or her need as promptly as possible by contac�ng the

church office.

Referrals can be submiEed and a follow up call will be made by the Referrals Coordinator.

WELCOME: Welcome all who come to worship with us this morning. We pray that as you come to worship, you will truly experience the presence of God. To make that experience even more meaningful, there are a few things about our facility and worship that you should know:

Mother’s Room: The sounds of babies crying are sounds of a healthy church! We welcome them with open arms as Jesus did. In the event your child becomes too restless, there is a Mother’s Room with sound and a see-

through glass to the sanctuary for mothers with infants to use as needed during the worship services.

Restrooms are located off of the narthex in the hallway and to the left.

“Welcome” Cards are in the pew racks to record worship and communion attendance. Please fill one out and place it in the offering basket.

Guests are especially welcome to worship this morning. If you are looking for a church home, we would be hon-ored if you considered Trinity to be that home. In order to follow up and properly welcome you, please fill out a “1st Time Visitor” card in the pew rack, place it in the offering basket, and sign our guest register at the entrance of our sanctuary.

New Member Reception TODAY Sunday, July 22 — 10:30 am

Please join us in welcoming our newest members to the church family. We will

gather in the Fellowship Hall for a con�nental breakfast recep�on served by the

Board of Parish Fellowship.

Grief Myths

MYTH: Tough it out; the pain will go away. Other people who have lost loved ones seem to be

okay.

FACT: God meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. Don't be brave and strong, be hu-

man.

The next GriefShare group will start Sunday, August 19. Contact the church

office at 257-5683 or email tlcgriefshare@gmail.com for more informa�on.

Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus Every job looks like it's easy if you don't have

to do it. That was certainly the case when Jesus told His disciples to feed the crowd.

With no McDonald's in the area, they came back and asked Jesus to do what they couldn't.

We would be wise if we did the same. (Mark 6:37)
