After the education hour, we enjoyed lunch togethe
After the education hour, we enjoyed lunch together and stuffed 1000 eggs for the upcoming community Easter Egg Hunt, April 4th.
The winter weather certainly did not put a freeze on our annual Christmas Program! It was a beautiful show full of carols with audience participation, instrument solos and collaborations, and the story telling of Jesus’ birth by Trinity’s children and confirmation youth. Sunday School and Confirmation is now on a winter break. Class will start up again on Sunday, January 4th, 2026! Come join us.
Trinity is now selling ELCA Good Gifts. Make your Christmas shopping special by giving a gift that fights hunger and poverty around the globe! Check out our ELCA Good Gift trees to see what we’re selling. The trees were decorated by some of Trinity’s Sunday School and Confirmation kids. For questions contact rachel@trinitylancaster.org.
