The current sanctuary was built between the years 1761 and 1766, and when completed it had windows with small panes of wavy glass.
Painted glass was installed in the church in 1853. In 1893, a Vestry committee considering repairs for another renovation recommended the installation of two “picture windows” – one on each side of the pulpit, and ornamental (or geometric) stained glass windows in the sanctuary and narthex. Then, in 1903, the vestry approved the installation of twenty four new stained glass windows. The work began in 1904 and completed in 1947. Donors could select the window theme of their choice, and made the contract with one of three commissioned artists.

Sunday, May 5th Rachel Kramer, Director of Family and Children's ministry, hosted a wonderful baby shower.....the recipients of gifts.....donated to families being helped by Bethany Christian Services. Holy Trinity's youngest disciples contributed so much to make this happen. Thanks be to God.
After worship April 28th, the congregation enjoyed a fine time of fellowship with a served brunch followed by the annual vestry report.
A Fish Fry, featuring cod tenderloin, seared boneless chicken breast, and potato au gratin were served(just kidding....fish sticks, chicken nuggets and fries) before the annual "egg stuffing" party began. All in preparation for Holy Trinity's Community Easter Egg Hunt.
