Encore Strings will present a free concert of holiday chamber music at Trinity Lutheran, Sunday December 11 at 3PM. The quartet is comprised of violinists Stephanie Everett and Jennifer Pappal, violist Melanie Ramsey and cellist James Nackley. The concert will feature music of the season, everything from Corelli’s “Christmas Concerto” and Vivaldi’s “Winter” to “Frosty the Snowman” and a variety of Christmas carols. Funding for the concert is being provided by the Dr. William Sunderman Endowment, so there is no charge for admission. Sunderman is a deceased member of Trinity…

Help Decorate Trinity for Christmas

November 20, 2016 Tom

We’re looking for some Trinity family volunteers to decorate our beautiful church for Christmas! Our plan is to bring the tree down from the attic and set it up this Friday, November 25 at 6PM. We’ll need a few strong men (and women!) to complete this task. Then on Saturday morning November 26 at 9AM, we will decorate the tree and the rest of the church. Please come help us as we prepare for the Christmas season and the greatest gift of all: the birth of the Christ child 🙂

It’s Poinsettia Time!

November 20, 2016November 20, 2016 Tom

The first snow is in the air and Christmas is just 5 weeks away! Now is the time to order poinsettias in honor or memory of your loved ones. The cost is still just $7 per flower and order envelopes are available at the back of the church. Be sure to include your loved one’s name(s) with your order. The last day you can order is Monday December 12.
