Current and Upcoming Events
On Trinity Sunday, May 18, during the 1:00 service, the combined choirs of First Trinity Lutheran and First Congregational churches presented J. S. Bach's Cantata 78, Jesu, der du meine Seele, together with soloists and chamber orchestra. This piece, widely considered one of Bach's masterpieces, features a profound opening chorus followed by a duet for soprano and alto and arias for tenor and bass in markedly contrasting styles, and ends with a chorale, all presenting the triumph of Christ's redemptive love over the forces of evil and despair. All are welcome!
Refresh your spirit at the once-monthly Taizé service, now hosted by First Trinity.
Join us next the second Sundy of the month at 6:00 p.m., for reflective worship followed by a potluck meal. The Taizé service and potluck (different food theme each month) will be held here the second Sunday of each month.
