Upside Down Bible Story
The second "Upside Down" Summer Bible Storytime was held Sunday, July 14th. We heard the parable of the mustard seed, and discovered that bigger isn't always better. Just a little faith in God goes a long way!
Two years before the birth of George Washington and 46 years before the Declaration of Independence, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church was a worshiping congregation. Formally organized in 1730 with its first baptism recorded on May 4th of that year, Holy Trinity Church is the oldest church in Lancaster and one of the oldest in Pennsylvania.
The congregation worshiped in a small stone church on Duke and Cumberland streets for 30 years. Construction of the present building began in 1761. In 1766, the new church was dedicated with Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America, officiating.
During the Revolutionary War, Civil War, two World Wars, the Cold War people came here to worship. To find hope and peace during the conflict and fear. To this day, Holy Trinity Lutheran is a living church – recognizing God’s goodness in yesteryear, the hearty expectation of God’s blessings in the present, and the confidence in God’s strength for the future.
