I stand in the empty sanctuary and picture the summer that was. Children were welcomed in baptism. Young couples were united in marriage. Old friends were laid to their last rest. The room rocked to the sounds of VBS songs, and choir camp songs, and worship songs. Mission trips were commissioned and sent out, and […]
Where will JJ be this summer? He’ll be vacationing with all of you! Mini JJs are available in the back of the sanctuary. Wherever you go this summer, take a photo with JJ and post it to our Facebook page. God has given us a beautiful world filled with great people! We can’t wait to […]
And what a summer season it has been! One of the happiest, most successful VBS experiences ever, watching our teams at work in Haiti and Philadelphia, service projects abounding at church, and (upon this writing), choir camp and a joyous chicken dinner on the horizon! Oh—and those flat J.J.’s? A laugh every day and a […]
As I write this, we are all still reeling from the events in Orlando. Not surprisingly, the faith of the Muslim people has again been called into question, and there have even been videos on Facebook of a radical Imam voicing support for the killing of LGTB people. What we are less likely to embrace […]
As I type this, my son is pulling in. College year over. Summer begun. It’s time to (try to) catch our breath! This school year has been a great, great one for our congregation, and I know that life away from church has been busy for all of you as well! So, here’s hoping that, […]
From the great success of our “Love Your Church” efforts, to a remarkable Lenten/Easter season, to the “amazing” visit of Amazing Grace, to the installation of Pastor Matt, Trinity has been a place of remarkable activity and joy in 2016! We are a blessed people, and we are challenged to live out that blessing in […]
Happy Easter! I hope that it is warm and that things are green and growing when you read this. Last December 6th seems like a long time ago from the perspective of spring. I was called to Trinity as a pastor that day. It was cold, and I was sick, and it was the holiday […]
Here comes a New Year! There’s a lot that’s “new” this year. A new pastor, the last part of our “new” renovations soon to begin, and talk of new activities designed to take our church into new areas of growth in the gospel! Of course, we’re hanging on to most of the “old” as well […]
People keep coming up to me and saying the same thing. “We haven’t been there. We’re so sorry. We’ve just been so busy…” I get it—in our crazy world family time is precious, and summer is often the one good chance to grab it. So…I’m not into guilt. I hope that you can CELEBRATE the […]
What’s Around The Bend? A Congregational Meeting and A Proposal from the Renovations Task Force! Trinity will have a congregational meeting on Jun 14th at all worship services to consider a proposal from the Renovations Task Force. Since determining that the hoped-for modifications to the Old Sanctuary were not feasible, the Task Force has been […]
You may have noticed a hand-written deed, dated January 12, 1833, framed and mounted in the hallway across from Pastor Jan’s office. If you look closely at the spidery writing, you can read the original deed from Jacob Rohrer (one of “Mountjoy’s” first landowners) to a group of Trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in […]
It’s Sunday morning; you’re hurrying to make it to worship on time. You arrive safely, settle in, and then it hits you… “I forgot the offering.” Or, how often has Pastor Mike announced a special appeal for an outreach project, and you would like to make a contribution, but you don’t have any cash on […]
We have some mighty Prayer Warriors here at Trinity who are willing to pray for any of your needs. Please consider sending us a prayer request or become one of our Prayer Warriors. The task is simple and all you need to do is take the request that has been sent to you via email […]
On Christmas Eve, 16 seasoned men from Trinity gathered for their weekly luncheon and to celebrate the birthday of one of their own. Happy 96th Birthday, Bob Zink! You are a special man in so many ways.
