We Are One

A Summer of Faith, Service, and Community

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Dingmans Ferry kicked off the summer with the theme, "We Are One," celebrating our unity with God, one another, and people around the world. Throughout June, that theme was reflected in a series of youth and congregational ministries that strengthened faith and built community.

June was filled with trips, overnight training events, and a wonderful Vacation Bible Camp. The High Adventure trip was a week-long camping experience in the mountains of upstate New York with 19 high school youth and seven adult counselors. The following week, high school and middle school youth participated in a three-day overnight training event at the church to prepare for Vacation Bible Camp.

June concluded with our annual Vacation Bible Camp, welcoming Holy Trinity families and many people from the surrounding community. We are thankful for the congregational support and the many volunteers who made these experiences possible.

From the mountains of New York to Vacation Bible Camp at home, Holy Trinity's summer ministries reflected faith in action by bringing people together to learn, serve, and share God's love.
