#LoveThyNeighbor
One of the ways Trinity, Villa Park, IL, is striving to love their neighbor is through their work with Voice of Care Ministry. Deaconess Kris Blackwell leads this important ministry to developmentally disabled adults. Recently, Trinity hosted a bingo party for 21 Voice of Care clients. Trinity is continuing to develop relationships with these folks, inviting them and sometimes bringing them to worship, congregational events and leading Bible studies in their homes with the aid and encouragement of Deaconess Kris. One day, they hope to have a bus with a wheelchair lift so that they can better transport disabled people in the community to church services and events.

Redeemer Robotics
Congratulations to the robotics team at Redeemer Lutheran School, Oakmont, PA! What a great day for the robotics team! In just their second year, they increased their points by 340 over last year and moved to 11th place out of 20 schools. They made it to the wild-card round, too. The theme from BEST was farming. Competitor's robots needed to pick corn, pick vegetables, round up tiny pigs and put them in a pen and turn on a water valve. They also had to put a marketing strategy together and design an exhibit for people to visit. The team's exhibit included a game for visitors to play. Well done!
