1962-1963

1962

Coin folders were distributed among the members to fill with dimes during Lent. Proceeds were for the building fund instead of having a special Anniversary Sunday offering. (These were the first Lenten Folders.)

Pastor Pohl presented Allan Land, manager of our local radio and television stations, with an award from the Synod. For the past nine years, WHIZ had featured This Is The Life, a television program sponsored by the Lutheran Laymens League.

In August, candidate Frank Machina and Rose Ann Swope were married here at Trinity.

Vicar Don Thuss arrived from Marshfield, Wisconsin. In November, he married Mary McClanahan at Concordia Lutheran Church in St. Louis, Missouri.

Ethel Blankenbuehler was excused from being Saturday School teacher for health reasons. She was honored for her 28 years of dedicated service with a recognition ceremony.

Pastor Pohl was recognized for 25 years of dedicated service to our church.

Wheat Ridge Christmas Seals were given to all members as a yearly occurence.

Another activity that became a yearly event was apple butter making by some members of the Ladies Aid. This was done in the fall at our church park.

1963

An informative year book of 1926-1963, compiled by church officers, was distributed.

The play, "What Happened At Messmore University," written and directed by Dorothy Renner, was produced with a cast of all Trinity members. (This was one of many over the years.)

Carl A. Brock, a faithful caretaker of our church for 37 years, died. He was 66 years old.

Ted Joswick became our new caretaker. He and his family moved into our church-owned home on 114 S. 7th St. Mrs. Carl Brock and family cared for the church in the interval between Carl's death and the Joswick arrival.

Vicar and Mrs. Thuss left Zanesville for Missouri for his final year in Seminary. A door collection was taken for the vicar.

A Memorial Service for the late President John F. Kennedy was held on November 25th. Pastor Pohl recommmended that the church doors be opened for the convenience of those who wished to offer a prayer on Sunday, November 24th, and on Monday, November 25th.

Induction of Melvin Symmank of Giddings, Texas, our vicar for 1963-1964 took place. He boarded at the Y.M.C.A.
