Video on Sunday September 29

Please be aware that we will be photographing and recording portions of this upcoming Sunday's worship services, Bible studies, and potluck. This will enable us to present an accurate representation of Life Together at Trinity for our website and other marketing materials and to help guide those seeking a church home to visit us in person and experience all that is Trinity Lutheran Church. Please ignore the cameras and just act normal (it's what makes Trinity awesome after all). If you do not wish for your image to appear in any of our marketing materials, please contact the church at news@tlcbr.org or 225-272-3110 to let us know.

New Stand in the Narthex

Don Blevins made and donated a stand to hold flyers about items and information about our church. The flyer about the Jesus Statue history is in the stand now to look at or take home. We are planning on making flyers for the Eternal Candle, Trinity Lutheran School, Altar items, Luther's Rose, and the building and history of the Florida church, and our church here. Thank you, Don!

If you would be interested on researching and helping make a flyer please contact Trinity Trustees.
