When the households of your church are spiritually vibrant, your church is more effective at faith formation, outreach, and community engagement.

LADIES:  Jesus Knows Me; This I Love!  Isn’t it wonderful that God knows us?  From the hairs on our heads to when we are asleep or awake, He knows.  Even more wonderful is His forgiveness and grace for us, even though He knows it all.  

On August 9, 2025, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Indianapolis, we will explore that love for us at the treatshop.  A treatshop is a workshop and a retreat.  It will include wonderful Bible Studies, activities, educational breakout sessions, Christ-centered mission projects, lunch, and, of course, wonderful LWML fellowship and fun.  We hope you’ll plan to attend.  

Complete the registration form and mail it along with your registration fee to Penny Letterman to let us know you’ll be there.  We look forward to hearing from you. (Registration forms can also be picked up in the church office.)
