Building Healthy FamiliesA beloved grandchild chooses for a time to walk a path that takes them away from their Christian faith. Though broken hearted and scared, don’t give up and don’t let natural emotions of disappointment, anger or fear direct your response. Instead, stay connected to them providing a living example of a life of love and faith, and take them to God daily in prayer, remembering and trusting that He loves them even more than you do and won’t let them go.    Lutheran Family Service

 

Aquatic Center Moonlight Pool Party:  You are invited to a Pool Party to be held on Saturday July 22nd from 8-9:30 p.m. at the Algona Aquatic Center (106 W Overmeyer Drive).  This is Open and Free to all Trinity (Algona) Lutheran Members and all people of the surrounding LCMS churches.  Bring your kids and come and have a good time.
