We had a lovely 275th Anniversary Worship Service and Luncheon on Sunday. Thank you to Pastor Karl and also to Bishop Gohl for helping us mark the day by preaching and giving the kids a thrill by trying on his Bishop garb! Bishop Gohl spoke about the importance of celebrating our rich history and continuing to embrace the future and adapt to change to serve as disciples of Christ.
You can watch the Livestream of the service to hear his message and our special music with Alexandra Bowl.
Thank you
Thank you to the Anniversary planning committee for your work these past months and to Karen Cunningham especially for bringing your historical materials for all to see.
We also put together a slide presentation talking about the history of our congregation from 1750 and what we’ve been up to since! It really gives you a good sense of Trinity and the many generations of members who have worshipped and served here. (P.S. if any of you have historical photos of Trinity or of members in service/worship/fellowship, we’d love to scan and preserve them. Reach out to Kristin Bowl for help with that or send a copy to hello@trinitylutheranboonsboro.org.)
Many of you asked for the link so we’ve shared it below. Click on the blue button. When the slides open, click on the Slideshow button on the upper right, then click to advance each slide at your own pace.
Watch the slideshow of our 275 years! (use the arrows on the slider to advance the slides).
Let’s keep the celebration going with our 275 hygiene kits:
Don’t Forget About the Hygiene Kits!
As part of our celebration, we are creating 275 hygiene kits to share with our neighbors in need through Blessings in Motion, the Blessing Box and other local outreach efforts.
Please bring hygiene items to the church and put in the donation box – the kids at Day Camp will be putting the kits together so we need them before June 15th.
Items to donate:
- toothbrush
- toothpaste
- comb
- shampoo
- bars of soap
- combs
- unscented deodorant (preferably non-gender specific)
- bath towel (can be lightweight)
Trinity Ornaments
It looks like we’ve exhausted our supply of Commemorative Trinity ornaments. However, if there is enough interest, we will consider ordering more. Please reach out to us via email at hello@trinitylutheranboonsboro.org if you missed your chance to get one and are still interested. They are $20 each and there are both glass etched and metal ornaments (see photos below) with ornament stands available as well.
May we have another 275 to grow disciples and serve our community!
