Noah's Ark Spaghetti Supper - October 20
This meal is a fundraiser for our Noah's Ark Preschool. In addition to the meal, all who attend have an assortment of activities to participate in. It is up to the Youth to supply these games and activities including coloring tables, games, juggling, and face painting. We can also help with bussing tables or miscellaneous jobs needed by Jeanne. God's love is active in our lives even at the age of preschoolers! Help us to spread this love and joy to the youngest of God's people!
Load a Truck
Fall: Lutheran World Relief
Our quilters fill their entire closet FULL of resources for Lutheran World Relief. Our entire congregation supplies significant amounts of resources throughout the year, BUT it is up to our Youth to transport all of these wonderful donations to their desired locations. We get together to load an entire semi truck full of resources to be transported. We meet at Trinity at 8:00 to load our own vehicles and transport our resources to CVTC West Campus to load the semi. We then continue to load the semi with resources from congregations all over the Eau Claire community. These resources are then transported to Lutheran World Relief to help those in our country and beyond, that are less fortunate than we are.

Our Advent Workshop is a long-standing tradition at Trinity!

Cookie Baking - November 
Adults from our congregation help our youth to bake and decorate large amounts of holiday cookies. These cookies are then brought to our shut-ins from Trinity Lutheran Church. This small amount of work brings a great amount of joy to those with limited mobility. A young joyous face with a small gift of appreciation is a way to spread the love and joy of Jesus Christ to the ones that need it most.

Only the love of Christ through our service can bring new hope, and new joy to the lives of those we serve at the Beacon House.

Community Table
Each and every day there are families in the
Eau Claire area that go without food to eat.
Trinity Lutheran provides a meal once a month

meal on two 
Saturdays a year. We cook, serve, and
