After well over 1,000 hours of hard work and sweat by many people, men and women, in the congregation, the church parsonage has been renovated and  ready to rent.  The congregation is welcome to attend an Open House on June 12th after worship to see the handiwork of our talented congregation.  Many thanks and kudos to Roy Stewart, Elridge Fischer, and all others who dedicated these last few months to see this project to fruition!

Pentecost Sunday – June 12th  is the day to wear your red in remembrance of the day the tongues of fire settled on the apostles and the Holy SPirit filled there hearts.

We will dedicate our new Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnals and also recognize the many ministries in the congregation.  This will take place at the 9:00 a.m. service.  There will be no “Raise Up Praise!” Service so all may join in this celebration.

June 18th – Men’s Appreciation Dinner at 5:00 p.m. in the Social Hall.  The men will be honored for all they do with a meal being prepared and served by the women of the congregation.

June 25th – SPAGHETTI DINNER – Eagle Scout candidate Bo Fehle will serve up a delicious Spaghetti dinner.  Donations for the dinner will be used to help fund his Eagle Scout project which will be landscaping around hte church and parsonage. Dinner will be served starting at 5:30 p.m.

We will honor Trinity’s Graduates from preschool –college masters programs at both services on Sunday, May 22.  Turn your/your child’s bio into Sandy Miller by Monday, May 16^th using sandy@trinitywired.org.  We will be publishing a small booklet containing these bio’s to share with the congregation.

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

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.

We will gather together for one worship service at 10:30 a.m. and will begin with the Procession of Palms in remembrance of that first Palm Sunday when Jesus entered Jerusalem in triumph.  We will celebrate Holy Communion at the conclusion of the cantata.

Kids Praise will meet at 9:30 a.m. and our fellowship time will begin at 9:30 as well.

The community is invited to join with us on this festival day for this humbling message in song.  Contact the church office at office@trinitywired.org or contact Sandy Miller, Director of Worship & Music, at sandy@trinitywired.org with any questions.
