Sunday at Trinity

This week I was at Trinity Lutheran Church in West Concord to preside at worship. Pastor Chris Brekke and the crew at Trinity are quite the fun bunch of people, with a collective sense of humor that can't be beat. Here's a look at the building....

Chancel. The black sculpture next to the pulpit is a gorgeous fountain with rocks in the top and water that flows over the edge into that sort-of carved-out section. I love flowing water. On the right, the three candles are sitting on top of the baptismal font. We had the joy of celebrating two baptisms today--twin babies! (Incidentally, the girl's name was Amanda Marie, which made me smile since I'm Amanda Maree.)




Closer view of the table.




Sanctuary.




Fireplace at the back of the sanctuary...a very unique feature! I'll get to participate in mid-week evening worship around the fireplace during Advent (when, presumably, the table will be moved).




I also stopped at Hegre Lutheran Church on my way home from Trinity, mainly so I could meet a few more people since I haven't been there yet. I also wanted to catch the end of their service to see them in action, because I'll be there solo in a couple weeks.

Then back to Trinity Sunday night for "Meal and a Movie," which was more good fun with great people!
