Trinity to celebrate 50 years in present location

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Webster City will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dedication of its current location on Sunday.

On May 25, 1958, the congregation gathered at the original location on Des Moines St., to begin a processional walk to the new building on Kathy Lane. Parishioners will reenact the same walk on Sunday, beginning at 8:45 a.m. The celebration service will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a remembrance time and dinner to follow. Trinity’s oldest confirmed member, Dimple Raven, who was part of the original procession, will join fellow members as they duplicate the walk. Ashlyn Sue Hill, Trinity’s youngest member, will be baptized during the celebration.

Former pastors Raymond Roden and Doug Tiffany will also be in attendance.

The Rev. Dr. Mike Kroona is the present pastor at Trinity Lutheran.
