Trinity Tidings | June 5th Edition
Sunday Worship
Last Sunday. . .
Pastor Hans kicked off our 275th Anniversary year on the eve of the sanctuary renovation, emphasizing that the true church is built on Christ and its people rather than its physical architecture. While literal and metaphorical steeples might fall, the structural renewal of our Sanctuary will serve as an act of faith and a continuation of God's ongoing work for future generations.
Pastor Hans and Dr. Wentz also made the news! If you missed the story click here.
Also check out the renovation highlights from the first week!
All Saints Room Sneak Peek
From June 1-October 1, Trinity's 1791 building will be closed for a major restoration project. However, we'll still offer dynamic, liturgical worship in the Lutheran tradition with the music and preaching you expect from Trinity!
Starting on Sunday, June 7th, we'll hold Sunday worship in the All Saints Room at 10 AM. Our staff has been hard at work making sure that this room is a suitable temporary home for worship. Here's a sneak peek!
Pride Month Vespers
Sunday, June 7 at 5:00 PM
Join Trinity Lutheran Church in celebrating pride month! We will hold a vespers service on June 7 at 5:00 PM with readings, anthems, and hymns lifting up the diversity of creation and power of God’s love. Trinity has a long history of affirmation and support for the LGBT community and continues that mission as we look to the future!
Parking Lot Update
Out of an abundance of caution, we have closed the southeastern corner of our parking lot (12 spaces) after a recent engineering assessment indicated some structural vulnerabilities in the burnt-out building to our lot’s south.
We have obtained additional parking behind the Berks Trust Building for Sunday morning, thanks to member Lawrence Fredricks! That lot is at the corner of Reed and Washington Streets. Additionally, we continue to have access to the parking lots of the M&T Bank Building and Mogel, Speidel, Bobb and Kershner.
If you are of above-average mobility, please try to park in one of these additional lots first. There are also many street parking spots available most Sundays. All our parking options are shown in yellow on the above map!
