Culver's Share Night
Trinity is holding a Share Night at Culver’s in South Haven on March 23 from 5-8pm. A percentage of all sales that evening will be donated to Trinity! Invite your friends and family and join us for a delicious meal and spread the word about Trinity Lutheran Church! We are also looking for volunteers that night as a requirement from Culver’s. Look for the sign-up sheet in the back of church if you’d like to help out!
Contact Shannon Kruschel if you have any questions.
Trinity T-Shirts
As part of the requirement for our Culver’s night volunteers are asked to wear shirts that promote our church, so we are placing a T-shirt order. Even if you don’t plan on volunteering, you just want to attend the dinner, or you plan on volunteering at future events, or you just want to help promote your church, you are welcome to order a shirt too! T-shirt orders are due by Mar. 1 and we hope a majority of this cost will be covered by a Thrivent Grant.
If you are able to contribute even a small amount to cover the remaining portion please contact Shannon Kruschel.
Member Contact Committee:
We are looking for individuals who would be willing to contact members on our database who haven’t been to church in a while and invite them back. If this sounds like a skill you are blessed with and would like to help, please contact:

MLS 2026 Children's Theater Invitation
Your students in grades (pre)K-4 are invited to attend the MLS children’s theater production of “The Enchanted Bookshop.” A Likely Story may look like any other used bookstore. But at night, it’s a place where magic happens. That’s when the characters inside the books come alive. Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when a pair of smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen?
Performances will be held on the MLS campus on Friday, March 13 at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. You can register for those performances here by Monday, March 2. Returning this year is a performance for our southern schools at Zion Lutheran School in Monroe, MI. It will be held on Monday, March 16 at 10:30 a.m. You can register for that performance here by March 2.
If you are in the Saginaw area and would like to request a bus to bring you to and from MLS, please fill out the Facility/Equipment Reservation Form. Those requests are granted on a first come-first served basis and depend on driver availability since MLS still has classes that day. Mr. Mike Priebe will be in contact with you regarding those requests.
Since it is quite expensive to stage a show with materials, licensing, and royalty fees, we request a donation of $2/person for attending these performances. A check for your school can be written to MLS and given to the ushers at the welcome table when you arrive. If you bring cash, please put it in a sealed envelope and write the total and school name on the envelope.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to entertaining you!
In Christ,
Prof. Josh Wendt
