Trillium’s Adult Education ministry is pleased to host an information session with Christine Helgerman and Kim Lem from St. John’s Christian Nursery School on Wednesday, November 30 at 6 pm. This session will begin in the Parlour at 22 Willow and will feature a tour of the school facilities which occupy much of the 2nd floor of 22 Willow, so attendees should be prepared to ascend and descend the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Christine Helgerman

Christine, RECE is the Director at St. John’s Christian Nursery School. She graduated from the ECE program at Conestoga College in 1993 and started working at St. John’s in 2002.

Handbell Music to Ring in the Season

Posted on: October 27th, 2022 by Trillium Lutheran Church

The Christmas and pre-Christmas seasons have long been accompanied by the mellow peal of bells, a sound sorely missed in many community spaces over the past two years when Covid-19 made singing and playing together difficult.

But as we slowly and carefully transition back into live music, bell choirs are making a welcome return. Unlike brass and wind instruments, massed bells can fill large spaces with rich sound, minus the risk of dispersing viral moisture into the air. 

Early in December, Trillium Lutheran Church in Waterloo, along with guest musicians from several other local Lutheran churches, will present a special Advent Lessons and Carols afternoon built around the mellow resonance of handbell harmony.

While based on the Christian tradition of interspersing seasonal Bible readings with special music and hymns, the service will be non-denominational; Trillium welcomes people of all ages, backgrounds and faiths to this free event.

What: Hand Bell Advent Lessons and Carols Service
When: December 4, 2022 at 3:30 pm
Where: Trillium Lutheran Church, 22 Willow Street Waterloo
Who: Trillium Lutheran Church Hand Bell Choir, with guest musicians from St. Luke’s Lutheran, Kitchener; St. Matthews Lutheran, Kitchener; and Trinity Lutheran, New Hamburg.

Grateful and Thankful

Posted on: October 14th, 2022 by Trillium Lutheran Church

Sunday’s sermon was about thanks and giving. About gratitude being a verb.

We are grateful and thankful for the ministry of music in our congregation. This Sunday the worship band will be sharing their gifts. Join us for worship in person at 10:30 am or by livestream on YouTube.
