Assembly of the New Organ

Organ LiftThe old organ has been removed, the new organ was disassembled and moved to New Hamburg, and now, reassembly of the new organ has begun in Trinity’s gallery!

The heaviest pieces were lifted into place, and the work continues with the reconnecting of keyboards and trackers, unpacking and placement of pipes, and then voicing and tuning.  Look for the organ to be fully playable by mid-October.  

Thanks to our many helpers who have assisted with this project from the beginning!

September at Trinity!

As summer draws to a close and the new school year beckons, we look ahead to our own autumn season, beginning with the blessing of the backpacks, the start-up on confirmation classes and opportunities to hear about the amazing youth trip to Detroit! Here’s a calendar of what’s coming up!

September 13th:
Welcome Back and Backpack Sunday – We’ll bless the children’s backpacks as a new school year begins and register children and youth for Faith Adventures, Affirmation and Confirmation.

September 18th:
Youth are invited to a Friday evening bowling event on Sept 18, at 7:00 pm. Another event at a date to be determined will feature a screening of the movie, “Godspell”. At the Confirmation Camp this past week, 17 Trinity youth and Nathan pulled off a wonderful musical presentation of the Parable of the Prodigal Son that came from “Godspell”. Thank you to Lisa Hagen for directing them in rehearsal! 

September 19th:
On Saturday, September 19th a new Nith Valley Ministry Area Confirmation program is launching at St. James Lutheran Church in New Dundee on Celebrating Baptism. These monthly Confirmation class gatherings will continue through the school year. Trinity will host the March gathering.  A couple of parents of Confirmation students are needed to participate in the first Nith Valley Ministry  Area Confirmation class from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm at St James Lutheran Church in New Dundee.
