We had another vibrant and busy summer at Trinity Church with members and friends! Check out the highlights below…
Lunches on the Lawn
For five weeks during July and into August, Thursday was our day to eat lunch outside and reconnect with neighbors, some of whom we hadn’t seen since last year. New connections were also made, with people stopping by for a bite to eat or something to drink in the hot weather. We had many good conversations, offered prayer for some, and just enjoyed the weather and company. If you didn’t have a chance to join us, we hope to see you next summer. Just look for the sign in the yard! Scroll through the picture gallery below…
Concert on the Lawn
We were honored, as always, to host the Greater Harrisburg Concert Band on our lawn on a beautiful Friday night in July. We had a big turnout, indulged in lots of hot dogs, snacks and ice cream, and the GHCB sounded fabulous like they always do! Thank you to all of our volunteers and to everyone who came out and enjoyed the evening with us! Pictures are below…
Eric Durbin Photography Exhibit
On Saturday, July 26, the wildlife photography exhibit of local artist Eric Durbin officially opened in the Fellowship Hall of Trinity Church. Eric grew up in Mechanicsburg and has always been drawn to the outdoors. He has a special talent for wildlife photography and waits for that perfect moment to capture his subjects at their finest and most striking. If you are in the area, feel free to stop in and browse through “A Journey into Nature” during office hours, Monday-Thursday from 9am – 2pm. You will be amazed at the detail captured in these photographs.
Women at the Well Movie Night
Trinity Church’s women’s group, Women at the Well, held an all-girls movie night on Friday, August 15, with the showing of the classic, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. A lot of laughter and snacks were shared, and a good time was had by all! Look for details on upcoming activities in the Tidings newsletter and plan to join us. All women are welcome to attend our Women at the Well events!
Ice Cream Church
Trinity on Main hosted “Ice Cream Church” on Saturday, August 16, as a thank-you to St. Peter (Mechanicsburg) and St. Mark (Harrisburg) for the youth events they provide that our Trinity teens attend. There was scripture, prayer, a reflection, singing, and Holy Communion. Students of all ages received backpack tags and a blessing, surrounded by hands, hearts, and the Holy Spirit. Following the benediction, we shared the peace and lined up for delicious hand-cranked ice cream, provided by Daryl and Ja’net Gochenauer, in two flavors: homemade vanilla and peach (with peaches from the Gochenauers’ own trees). Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the service with us! See highlights below.
