Only three weeks until this year's Fall Fest! Starting at 3pm, we will have a food truck, small pumpkins to decorate, yard games, a bounce house, a barrel train and more! After, students will be preforming as apart of the pre-service music before worship begins at 5:30pm. Stick around because at 7pm, Trinity is hosting a concert featuring Concordia University Chicago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Join us in welcoming Concordia University Chicago and the Kapelle, Wind Symphony, Chamber Orchestra! There will be two opportunities to hear the gifts God has given these students. The first will be Saturday, October 17 at 7pm, after Fall Fest and the worship service at the School Campus. Or you can join us for our worship service on Sunday, October 18, which will be at 9am at the Downtown Campus. There will be a door offering taken at both campuses to offset the cost of the tour.
