Trinity celebrated Boy Scout Sunday by recognizing the leaders and members of Troop 97. Pastor Bruce presented these groups their charters and recognized two new Eagle Scouts who earned this high honor during 2015.

After this opening recognition, the worship service focused on Transfiguration Sunday and ended with the celebration of holy communion. Listen in to hear about mountain top experiences and life's valleys - and how hiking the Knob at Hartman Center is just one of many ways to get closer to God.
