Make Arrangements for Baptism / Wedding / Funeral
Baptisms
“In holy baptism the triune God delivers us from the forces of evil, puts our sinful self to death, gives us new birth, adopts us as children, and makes us members of the body of Christ, the church.” (Evangelical Luther Worship)
Baptisms are scheduled throughout the year. Contact the church office to find the next date and to give the office the needed information. You will also be informed of the Parent’s Sessions that are scheduled through the year for parents preparing to have their child baptized.
Please feel free to contact one of the pastors if you have any questions or concerns. We are eager to be of help as you plan for this important event.
Funerals
Contact the church office to inform our pastoral staff of your loss.
A pastor will contact you immediately and will meet with you and your family to assist with details and preparations for the funeral service.
Funeral arrangements typically take two to three days.
Forms are available in the church office to make “pre-arrangements” with the church.
Weddings
CONGRATULATIONS! We celebrate with you as you plan your wedding with us at Trinity and begin a new chapter in your life together!
Before you make any other plans, it is important that you contact a pastor to schedule the date and time for your wedding. Once the wedding date and time is determined you will schedule meetings with the pastor and Trinity’s Wedding Coordinator.

Sponsor Flowers or Broadcasts
Sponsor Flowers
Altar flowers, flowers at the font, and radio broadcasts make fine gifts to remember or honor a loved one.
Members may order flowers from the florist of choice. There is a flower chart posted in the narthex for you to sign. Sunday or Wedding flowers may be left on the altar for weekday services or may be taken by the donors following the 10:45 a.m. service. (Please do NOT take the vase liners!) Flower costs are paid directly to the florist.
Sponsor Broadcasts
There is also a broadcast chart in the narthex to sign. Broadcasts are paid to the church. (Full hour & 1/2 hour broadcasts may be given). An envelope can be placed in the offering plate or in the church office specifically designated for a broadcast. Donors should contact the office with the wording for the church bulletin.
