The Gotha (Germany) Handbell Choir is planning their 6th tour of Ohio this summer, and once again, Holy Trinity has been invited to host.  Dates for hosting are Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27.

 As a reminder, the Gotha Handbell Choir was at the heart of the ministry partnership between the Lutheran Church of the North in Germany and the Southern Ohio Synod here in the USA.  While East Germany was still walled off from western countries, arrangements were made for a bell choir from Dayton, Ohio to play a bell choir concert for a congregation in Gotha.  Having “neglected” to bring their bells home with them, the Dayton choir was instrumental in establishing Gotha’s renowned bell choir of its own.  The group will be traveling with 18 persons for which we are seeking two overnight accommodations, two breakfasts, and either lunch or dinner on Sunday (to be determined once we decide on the concert time for that day).  To serve as a host, please sign up online here or at the ministry signup table.  For questions or more information, please see Minister of Music Josh Brodbeck or Pastor Steve.
