Trinity Lutheran Church

2008-2009 Participants

The Bible contains many exhortations to the faithful to sing "Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God." (Col. 3:16) On Church Music Weekend, May 2 & 3, as the choirs begin to wind down we say "thank you" to those who have led us in praising God during the past year, especially those who direct, accompany and help our choirs. We ask the blessings of the Holy Spirit upon our music ministry so that we may continue to be the instruments of God's will.

 

   This year we also thank God for gift of a restored Steinway Model M grand piano which will be used to enhance worship and other concerts in Jack’s Place. Please read a bit of the history of this historic “old Ashland” piano found beginning on page 10 of this pamphlet.

AND SPECIAL

THANKS TO...

 

Six of our members have served the Lord as church musicians and lay assistants in other congregations this past year. We also thank God for their ministries in the greater Christian community – organists Cindy Bennett, Kevin Jacque, Joel Tooman and Cindi Twining, and lay leaders Dave Lewis and Jeff Scott.

 

•  While the everyday expenses of our music ministry come from our congregation’s operating budget, the costs of special events are partially underwritten by the Trinity Music Fund, originally established by Marjorie M. Ginn, with additional bequests from Mrs. Ginn, Marvene Mateer and Geneva Cole.

•  The ministry of the children's choirs is supported by the W. Harold and Laura May Hoover Children's Choir Fund.

•  Special funds to help the Saturday Night and Praise Worship services have also been established by anonymous donors.

•  New or additional gifts are welcome at any time. Please contact Pastor Mitchell or Ron Marenchin for more information.

•  The renovation of our 1910 sanctuary Steinway Model O grand piano, re-dedicated on January 4, 2004, was an example of the generosity of our members for the glory of God. Thank you!

 

 Thank you for sharing your gifts!!
