Trinity Lutheran Church is participating in Back to Church Sunday, a national movement of churches to encourage formerly churched people to rediscover church and try it again.
According to LifeWay Research, 38 percent of people are receptive or highly receptive to attending church. Eighty-two percent say they would be open to attending church if a friend invited them. But unfortunately, only 21 percent of active church-going Christians invited someone to church last year.
Trinity is joining with thousands of churches to help change those statistics by inviting everyone to attend church on Sunday, Sept. 18.
Trinity Lutheran is located on North Highway 5, just off Industrial Road in Ava.
Services are held at 10:45 a.m. Sunday. Pastor is Wayne Strohschein.
