Special Day at Trinity

New Pastor Ordination Day

Sunday, July 30th, 2023, marked a very special day here at Trinity. For the first time in over 100 years, we were privileged and blessed to ordain and install our new associate pastor, Isaac Pappenfuss.

The day was marked with a special service at 4 pm. The sermon was preached by Pastor Samuel Pappenfuss, the brother of our new pastor. Area pastors participated in the Laying on of Hands, and the choir sang “All the Praise of a Lifetime.”

The service was followed by a dinner in the church basement, where guests and congregation members enjoyed a meal other.
