Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for joining us for our 70th anniversary celebration. Your presence made our day so special. Reaching 70 years together is a blessing, and sharing that day with all of you made it truly remarkable.  Looking around the room and seeing so many cherished family members and friends was the best gift we could ask for.  Thank you for your love, your laughter, and for being part of our story.

A big thank you to everyone who helped put together an unforgettable 70th anniversary celebration! From the small details to the big picture, your time and talents created a welcoming and memorable day for our entire church family and guests. It takes a number of hands, work, skills and thought to put a day like this together but it came together beautifully and was a wonderful celebration!!

We appreciate every effort and prayer poured into this event. May the Lord richly bless you just as you have blessed this ministry.

With Gratitude,

The 70th Anniversary Committee

Arlette Peterson, Kerry Greer, Robin Smith, and Diane Thomas.

 

A Celebration of Faith, Fellowship, and Service

For seven remarkable decades, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church has stood as a beacon of faith, hope, love, and service in our community. Since 1956, generations of worshippers have gathered here to praise God, grow in faith, support one another, and share Christ’s love with the world. From baptisms and confirmations to weddings, funerals, and countless Sunday services, Holy Trinity has been a sacred home where lives have been nurtured and transformed by God’s grace. This anniversary provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on treasured memories, share stories, and rejoice in all that God has done through our church family.

Special Highlights:

  • Giving thanks for 70 years of God’s abundant blessings
  • We honored our Pastoral Heritage and formally bestowed the honorary titles of Pastor Emeritus upon Rev. Harry Biles (1980-2001) and Pastor Emerita upon Rev. Connie Miller (2002-2022)
  • Special music and a historical photo slideshow
  • A message of hope for the future from Rev. Bill Gohl, Bishop, Delaware-Maryland Synod, ELCA.
