Welcome to Trinity Lutheran Church

Out of an abundance of care for God’s people and in accordance with the current CDC guidelines, we have decided to move all worship services online until further notice. You can find worship services on Facebook at our normal Sunday worship times, 8:00AM and 10:30 AM. Lenten worship services will be online each Wednesday during Lent at 6:00pm.

Join us for a Drive-In Easter service on April 12th at 10:30am. We will be worshipping together, in our cars, at the Merrill Area Recreation Complex. Click here to stay connected to event updates.

As this is an unprecedented time, we are taking bold and courageous steps to ensure God’s Word is still spoken into the lives of God’s people. Please know that this decision was not made brashly, rather, it was made from the depths of our pastoral hearts.

Trinity Lutheran School campus is closed. We began virtual/distance education on Monday, March 16. This includes Preschool and 4K. We regret the inconvenience, but the safety of everyone involved is our primary concern.

Until further notice we have also suspended all in person gatherings of our community such as: Trinity Café, Jesus and Me Sunday School, Bible Classes, Confirmation Classes, Council and Board Meetings.

Pastoral Care

• Your pastors are still committed to giving you the best pastoral care.
• They will still visit you and administer God’s Word and God’s Sacraments to you. Your spiritual care is of utmost concern. However, they will do all of this with wisdom and care for you and for our community.
• Access free Bible study videos through our streaming service RightNow Media: To set up your free account please send an e-mail to RN@trinitymerrill.com and we will e-mail you login information.

Church Office

• The church office has limited hours Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM. The office is closed entirely on Fridays. Please, if it is not necessary for you to go to the church building, we ask that you refrain from doing so, out of the care for you and our society.

Giving

• Though we will not be meeting as a community at our beloved and beautiful sanctuary, we will still be doing ministry. This means that now, more than ever, we rely on your commitment to God’s work here at Trinity. We encourage you, if you have not started already, to give electronically. You text to give by texting the amount of your gift to 833-341-0335 which will allow you to make a one time or recurring gift to Trinity Lutheran Church from your cell phone. Your gift will be transferred from your credit or debit card. You may also give through our app, which is located on both the App Store and Google Play. Finally, you may mail in your offering, or drop it by church during business hours. For more information go to www.trinitymerrill.com/give.

Additional Information

• Our present situation is fluid. Guidelines change every day. Please know that we will continue to monitor the CDC Guidelines, work with our community officials, and our state government to ensure the safety of all.
• We make all of these decisions with our full trust in God and His providence. He has seen Trinity and his universal church through it all, and He will not stop now.
