The bulk of the Women’s Ministry that happens at South Shore Trinity is done by the Trinity Guild: a women’s group serving the Lord by serving others through many different roles. Come join us on the first Tuesday of every month. Meetings start at 2:00pm unless otherwise indicated. Contact Joanne Lundgren at 651-429-1571 or ejlundgren@mac.com for more information or to get involved.

On April 23, 2022, South Shore Trinity Ladies Guild hosted the 2022 LWML St. Croix River Zone Spring Rally.

Lutheran Women in Mission learned about “Living and Sharing TRUTH in a World that Doesn’t Agree” from Rev. Jon Kuehne, pastor at Trinity First Lutheran Church and School in Minneapolis in the heart of the most diverse square mile in the US.

Jeanette Stohlmann also discussed her new book Joy Along the Journey—the joys she discovered while caring for her husband over the last several years.

Out-going Zone President Mary Torno presided. Rev. Schoenfeld installed the new Zone Officers.

Dorcas Circle

The Dorcas Circle is comprised of a group of women who meet each month for fellowship, lunch, a devotion/Bible Study led by pastor, and to work on meaningful service projects. Our main project is making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. Through our freewill offerings we are able to contribute to various missions and organizations such as Bethesda Lutheran Home, Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch, Orphan Grain Train, SST Youth, etc.

Meetings are held the third Thursday of each month, September through June at 11:30am. We welcome you to join us!

Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML)

Many women in the Trinity Guild are also very active in the LWML (Lutheran Women’s Missionary League). This national ministry has recently undergone a tagline change and rebranding and is now “Lutheran Women in Mission.”
