The Pictorial Directory will no longer be a separately sold book and is now being compiled with the Church History Book.  Committee members have made every effort to reach out to all members of the congregation to schedule photo sessions during the month of July.  However, if for some reason we were unable to make contact with you,, you may submit a photo to the committee no later than January 15, 2025.  You are welcome to scan your photo and email to Devin Graf at devin.kidzfirst@gmail.com or  anniversarycommittee@trinitylutheranalma.com or you may also drop it off at the church/school office.

Many of the beautiful photos and video footage used throughout the website, and History Book were taken by these talented ladies. They have spent many hours capturing pictures of our staff, committees, and organizations, as well as the magnificent beauty of our well pointed church.

Donna Rothermich designed and is in the process of creating our beautiful banner. Needing an additional artistic hand, Lavonne Bredehoeft aided in bringing Donna’s design to life by drawing her design to scale.  The unveiling of their craftsmanship will take place on Sunday, January 12, 2025…you won’t want to miss the opportunity to see their work in its completion.  You will have many opportunities to see the banner as it will be displayed in its splendor throughout the year.

It goes without saying that the men and women who worked diligently on the history book presented for our 125th Anniversary laid the foundation for what is being presented in the 150th Anniversary History Book. Members of this committee have spent an untold amount of time sorting through numerous boxes of files, photographs, and minutes stored in the vault. Contained within these boxes is nearly 150 years of church history dating back as far as 1875. There have been many awe inspiring moments sorting through the past and it is our hope to share those moments in the pages of our history book currently being compiled. With the donation of archiving materials the committee was able to archive these photos and documents to ensure their safety for many generations to come.

New to this edition of our history book are many new photos, additional historical information and facts, and five new chapters. The new chapters consist of the Pictorial Directory, Honoring our Veterans, the history of our daughter church, St. Peter’s (Flora), and the history and diagrams of both Trinity and St. Peter’s Cemeteries and the Early Childhood Center.

We are excited to share this edition of our church and school history and hope you will enjoy the book as much as the committee has enjoyed piecing it together. Pre order sales will begin on February 2, 2025, however, the book will not be available for pickup until the Alumni Reunion and Dinner Event on Sunday, August 24, 2025. In the event you were unable to pre order a book, additional books will be available for sale the day of the dinner and may also be ordered online through the end of December 2025.
