I stumbled upon the Wikipedia article of the American founding father, Thomas Mifflin, which led me to Holy Trinity Lutheran parish. Being from Wisconsin, we don't have Lutheran Churches nearly as old as your parish, so it was wonderful to learn about your history.

I am a member of Triumphant Love Lutheran Church, ELCA, Austin, Texas. My great-grandparents, John Hamilton and Louisa Good were married there 16 Aug 1849. They were from Manheim Township. Do you maintain records that far back? I believe they were listed in Record Book 4, Part II, 1841-1850.

I grew up in this church, along with family and aunt and uncle and their family. I was baptized here in 1953, the year I was born. I was in the children's choir until we moved to Lititz in August 1963. We were members until 1965. I have wonderful memories growing up there and remember them fondly.

My dear friend "Millie"(103 yrs old) was confirmed at Trinity & very excited to hear I'd planned on attending! The church is just as beautiful as she'd described to me! šŸ’’

Bow Tie Sunday

On Sunday, June 21st, Father's Day, Holy Trinity is celebrating our very first ever Bow Tie Sunday. This tradition of wearing bows to church came from a vision St. Jerome had of Jesus leading him through a rocky place with a rope tied around his waist. His vision is commemorated annually by having parishioners wear bows to church in their hair, on their clothes, or around their necks as an elegant bow tie. Looking forward to seeing you all " bowed up".
