English District Youth at the LCMS Youth Gathering

The English District Youth had an amazing time at the LCMS Youth Gathering. For the album of their adventures, please see
here.

We at First Trinity Lutheran Church in Pittsburgh rejoice in the opportunity to participate in the 1-1-1 giving program of the English District LCMS. We pray that the Holy Spirit, our Guide and Comforter, would use our small dollars and the ministries which they support to lead the lost into the way of Truth. The 1-1-1 giving box serves as a great reminder and teacher to us all as we enter the church. It reminds us that the Church is larger than our own local parish, and it teaches us that the work of that Church continues today throughout the world, nation, and even in our own communities.
For a current list of participating congregations and to see what congregations in your regions are supporting 1-1-1, click
