As a follow-up to last year Top Ten Hymn-Sing, join us on Sunday, May 15 for the 2nd Top Ten.  Last year, through popular congregational voting, we sang Trinity’s favorite top ten hymns.  On the 15th, we will learn what #11-20 are. You wouldn’t believe how close the vote count was on these top 20.

The evening will begin at 5:00 p.m. for a Potluck Dinner (so bring your favorite dish of food to share) and then we will move into the Social Hall to start singing at 6:00. Iced tea will be provided.

Hope to see you there!

“But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint”

Isaiah 40:31

The congregation of Trinity extends its congratulations to Hunter and his family on this most prestigious award.  Hunter has also completed all the requirements to be awarded the “God and Country” award has given by the scouting organization.

Hunter joins fellow eagle scouts of Trinity: Jim Prodoehl, Dan Brooks, Justin Van Horn, and brother David Goodwin.

Ken Ryan will be recognized at the Celebration of Ministry Dinner to be held at Carroll Lutheran Village on May 1, 2011.  Ken was selected as the recipient for the Westminster Conference of the DE-MD Synod for his contributions to Trinity. Ken takes care of numerous things quietly behind the scenes each week.  He collates and puts together our weekly worship folder and assists in preparing the altar for worship. Woodcrafting is a talent of Ken’s and Trinity has been the recipient of many gifts of that talent.  He sees a need and it appears.  As an example, we needed a table in our narthex to display items and a beautiful tri-corner table is now in use.  Ken has also served as Financial Secretary and taught Adult Sunday School for well over 20 years.  He participates in our tech/production group and is currently serving on our sound system committee.  Congratulations Ken for recognition well deserved – even though you prefer not to be in the spotlight!

Trinity’s Adult choir delivered a powerful and moving Palm Sunday message through the music of the cantata “Who Is This King?” written by Joseph M Martin and Lloyd Larson.   This 35 minute choral work is inspired by the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  New and old melodies create the drama to make you feel like you a participant in Jesus’ life at that time.

Directed by Sandy Miller, accompanied by Kim Skellan on the Keyboards, and the Trinity Lutheran Church Adult Choir, it was an incredible performance.

Just a reminder that you can help support Trinity in a variety of easy ways. Our Supermarket Gift Card Program and Paper Recycling Program are two very easy ways in which you can help. We sell Weis, Giant, Martins, Shoppers, and Food Lion supermarket gift cards in $10, $25, and $50 denominations. Trinity realizes a profit of up to 7% on all gift cards sold.
