Trinity Lutheran gearing up for centennial
Pastor Bruce Barth and the congregation at
Trinity Lutheran Church in Bonners Ferry are
gearing up for the 100th anniversary of the
church's charter, which takes place Sunday,
September 11. Plans are underway to make the
weekend special in honor of the event.At 6 p.m. Saturday, September 10, the church will host one of its famous smorgasbords in remembrance of all the years they fed upwards of 500 people on a Thursday evening in September, though they aren't planning to begin that tradition again. Instead, they'll be serving about 150 members and invited guests, including out of town members, former pastors and Bishop Martin Wells.
Members may invite guests, but are asked to let one of those on the committee know ahead of time so the total count doesn't surpass 150 guests. Committee members are Carole Dinning, Shirley Marcy, Leslie Mason, Karen Standal, Vicki Thompson and Mandy Young.
Special worship services will be held at 10 a.m. Sunday, September 11. There will be no Sunday School that day.
At 2 p.m., Trinity Lutheran Church will host an open house and reception open to everyone in the community, and all church members are asked to attend to help host those who come to help celebrate.
"We want to make a good start on the next 100 years," Pastor Baruth said!
