As we continue through our 95th Anniversary Year here at Trinity, we are honored to have the Rev. Dr. William A. Harmon, Bishop and President of the Southeastern District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, to be with us and to share in our joy. Because of scheduling issues, Bishop Harmon was not available to be with us in October to celebrate the actual day of our anniversary, but he did want to be with us for this important occasion and was able to schedule this June visit.
We hope that you will be able to join us this coming Sunday, June 7th, for a special Sunday Worship Service that will include an Anniversary Message from Bishop Harmon. The Divine Service for the day will be at 9:30 AM, and will also be available for viewing by livestream on our church Facebook Page. For those able to be with us in person, a time of fellowship will be held following the service to give us the opportunity to rejoice together and to meet and greet our Bishop.
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday for this joy-filled celebration!
