With prayerful consideration and sadness, it has been decided to cancel the Election Day Sauerkraut Dinner permanently, as it has run its course. With the current cost of food, decrease in attendance over the years, and minimal profit for the amount of work, Congregation Council and Dinner coordinators have decided it is time to end the event.
Trinity has had decades of the most wonderful coordinators, volunteers, and dedicated attendees for which we are grateful. Thanks to all who have supported the Sauerkraut Dinner over the years. SUNDAY'S

Only 2 options for entering the building: If you physically cannot do steps, you will enter through the handicap entrance. If you can do steps, you will enter via the middle narthex doors which will be already open. 4. Exiting the building: The side of the sanctuary you choose to sit will determine the door you will exit when leaving. If you sit on the Golde St. side, you will exit via the side narthex door that leads to Golde Street. If you sit on the Ash Street side, you will exit via the side narthex door that leads to Ash Street. Those who used the handicap entrance will exit that way. 5.
