Father’s Day, Bow Tie Sunday at Trinity
In May, we invited ALL to wear their favorite hat Mother's Day. We followed up with Bow Tie Sunday for Father's Day. Men, young men, even some of the ladies adorned with their "bows" are pictured here.
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church held its final confirmation class for the 2025/2026 year. Below is a photo of our proud confirmands, each holding up their fingers representing how many years of confirmation he or she has completed. Sunday, May 17th Natalie Dommel and Penelope Kramer presented a topic they have learned during their years in Confirmation. Then, as of Sunday, May 24th they are formally confirmed disciples of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
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!
