Congratulations to Jill Helgeson on 20 years of Service

20 years!
On September 30th,  we celebrated a special day in the life of our congregation. During the worship service we recognized Jill Helgeson for her twenty years of dedicated service as our church organist and choir director. She began serving Holy Trinity in this capacity in May of 1998. It is hard to believe it has already been 20 years.

After the worship service we gathered in Fellowship Hall for a potluck meal and continued our time of recognition. The Mutual Ministry Committee provided the cake for dessert.
