the corn maze!)

More donations mean more food for our food pantry!
A big thanks to our volunteers (David, Nancy, Pete, and Judy) in getting the food from the grocery store, moving it from the truck to the church, sorting it, and moving it to the Parish House to then be added to the pantry as needed.
A huge thanks to Adams County Nursery
for allowing several area Lutheran churches to glean/pick for the local food pantries.
Holy Trinity had the largest contingency of gleaners! We picked 8 bags of apples per orange bucket distributed (this doesn't include the ones we ate there!) and we had at least 4 buckets between us.
Our 18th Book Fair gave out over 745 free books! Thanks to the volunteers who helped provide the books, set them up, and then box up the leftovers for next year's fair! Also appreciated were the financial donations that will go to providing children's socks and underwear for our clothing pantry!
Donations to our clothing pantry are always welcomed! They may be dropped off in the rear of the Parish House in the shed. Even with the limited space of our current pantry in the Parish House, we have many items on display that are free for those who are in need.
The clothing that is more appropriate for job interviews or professional wear go to a career center so people who are heading into the work force are able to dress for success! Thanks to Judy B. and Ted W. for the latest delivery.
Many of our older youth assisted with our worship, sharing in readings and serving communion. After worship, they help fill over 40 Lutheran World Relief school kits with the supplies donated by members of the congregation.
Our 2025 Walk for Water team (along with a separate donation from our church and an anonymous donation through our church) raised $1225 for the water mission! Thanks to our walkers and donors for this important mission to proved accessible, clean water to people around the globe!
​
Millions of women and children continue to walk more than three miles to collect their family's daily water needs. Since 2007, the Walk for Water has brought safe water and God's love to thousands of people in need. This year, we will join together to bring clean, safe water to more than 1,500 people in need around the world.
​
We walk, so others don’t have to.
Holy Trinity has a highway!
We pick up trash and debris
along Rt. 94 twice a year.
Spring Bowling Fun for our church families and youth!
Easter Worship!
Flowers, Brass Instruments,
Children's Chimes,
a Baptism...
Alleluia, Christ is Risen!
We welcomed Drew and Andrea Kaiser-Hoover into God's family!
Under Ann's leadership, we had 70 Personal Care Kits to donate to Lutheran World Relief (the most we've ever had)! Judy got them delivered to the receiving station in New Windsor, MD.
And we continue to get food for our Food Pantry with donations and volunteers!
Advent and Christmas at Holy Trinity:
Sharing food with our neighbors in need,
sharing socks and undies through our Clothing Pantry, supporting our community's decorating and tree lighting, praising God with music, ...!

Volunteers went to United Way, picked up food from Bag the Bounty, and delivered it to church where it was sorted. These bags, boxes, and cans of food will be shared in our Christmas boxes as well as in the food pantry at our Parish House.
Using a 5th Sunday special offering, hundreds of cans of fruits and vegetables
as well as a few other food items were purchased for our food pantry. Again, our volunteers stepped up to purchase, transport, unload, and organize. We are blessed to be able to care for the food deficient in our community!
Once again our Property Committee and volunteers helped raise money with great BBQ chicken dinners on
Memorial Day!

Fun at Magic Elm with
families and youth!
With many thanks to those who helped dig the church out of the snow (Jeremiah, Cynthia, Andrew, Conner, Penny), the younger helpers shared a message during the work!
