Band Concert
We were honored, as always, to host the Greater Harrisburg Concert Band on Friday night, July 17. The concert had to be moved indoors to the sanctuary due to the smoke and haze caused by the Canadian wildfires, but we had a packed house just the same. Hot dogs and potato chips were served before the concert, and ice cream after, in the fellowship hall. The Greater Harrisburg Concert Band entertained us with festive melodies and energetic rhythms that filled the sanctuary. Thank you to all of our volunteers and to everyone who came out and enjoyed the evening with us! Please enjoy pictures from this wonderful evening below:
Stacey Zeller, a member of both GHCB and Trinity on Main, was our liaison and helper. 
Thank you, Mike, for your expertise in grilling hot dogs for everyone to enjoy! 
Hot dogs, rolls, chips, bottled water, and ice cream treats for the meal were made possible through a Thrivent grant, thanks to Jim and Mary-Louise. 
Mary-Louise and Sharon served food with a smile to our guests in Fellowship Hall. 
Thank you, Chip and Koen, for pitching in at the kitchen and around the church as needed. 
Band members and concertgoers were greeted by Amy’s smiling face as they arrived. 
A full house in Fellowship Hall before the concert! 
Interim Pastor Barbara Barry offered a heartfelt welcome and introduced the band and their director, Dr. William Stowman. 
Gorgeous tones soared to the rafters, and festive melodies and energetic rhythms filled the sanctuary as the concert began. 
GHCB Director and Conductor Dr. William Stowman acknowledged the appreciative audience after each piece. 
Members of the band and audience gathered afterward for ice cream treats in Fellowship Hall. 
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for helping to make this evening a success!
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…
Women at the Well Movie Night 2025
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 August 2025
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.
