We are a historic ELCA congregation located in the heart of Astoria and Long Island City. Trinity is traditional, engaged, exciting, and welcoming to all. A Lutheran Church blended in liturgical traditions and modern New York City living. From our annual Halloween party, our Food Pantry, our Blessing of the Animals, and our weekly Sunday Holy Communion services, we welcome you to worship with our diverse community!
Services
Every Sunday, Eucharist is at 10:30 am
Donations for the Food Pantry
The Food Pantry will begin very soon. If you would like to bring donations, please leave them in the wicker basket in the Narthex, by the main doors, in the church when you come to worship on Sundays. If you have any questions, please speak with Powell Griggs!
Adult Bible every Thursday!
Pastor Paul will be teaching on Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 7:30 pm in the Undercroft for an hour each time. No experience is necessary. If you have a personal bible, bring it with you. If not, we will get you one! We begin with the Gospel of Luke, which is our Gospel for this liturgical year. Luke is the most inclusive of all the gospels. Come deepen your faith as we engage in stimulating dialogue about the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Young Adult small group has begun!
A small group for young adults is held the first and third Wednesday of every month. The next meeting takes place Wednesday August 4th at 7pm! The group meets at Trinity and continues without fellowship at Cronin & Phelan's at 8pm. The group is currently talking about social justice with the program "Get Uncomfortable". Please join us!
SPLASH is coming!
For those with small children active in Trinity, we will be sending you a monthly Parent page newsletter to help you develop the faith of your child. This will come to your mailbox every month for your child up to three years of age. Please contact us as we need the name and address of your child as well as how old your child is by month.
Pastor Paul's Installation
Pastor Paul's installation service will be held on Sunday, September 26 at 4pm. Save the date!
Pastoral visitation continues
Pastor Paul desires to spend some time with each Trinity member and friend over the next few months. He will be happy to come to your home, take you out for a cup of coffee, sit and chat privately somewhere at church, or even visit you in your place of work to see how you spend an important part of your life. Please email Pastor Paul at paulbmilholland@yahoo.com or phone the church office to set up your visitation time. The office phone is (718) 278 - 0036.
Interested in going to Hawaii?
Pastor Paul is leading a trip in early 2011 which will include a cruise with Norwegian to the 5 islands. Cost per person runs from $1180 to $2580 depending on cabin location, not including air fare. If interested, contact Pastor Paul right away - monthly payments can be made.
Volunteers for Fellowship needed
We're looking for Fellowship volunteers for the rest of the year. If you would like to help out, please speak with Gus Dimino and we'll help show you how the kitchen runs and how our Fellowship after Sunday service works. It's easy and all we ask is help with setup and snacks. Reimbursement is also available!
120 Years
On February 23rd, 1890, a group of German Immigrants met at a beer garden at, what is now, Steinway and Broadway as a missionary movement from Trinity Lutheran in Lower Manhattan. That group of people would later become Trinity Lutheran Church in Long Island City. Although the neighborhood has changed from German, to Italian, Greek, Brazilian, Egyptian, and Mexican, for 120 years, Trinity has continually been an active part of our community, sharing Christ's love and compassion to all our neighbors.
