WHEREAS, Religious institutions, and the many spiritual, social and
educational benefits they confer, play a vital role in the development
of the moral fabric of a responsible citizenry; and

WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and this Nation to pay
tribute to those institutions and individuals who have contributed to
the ethical and spiritual values of their communities; and

100th Anniversary of Trinity Lutheran Church of Glen Cove, New York, to
be celebrated with a pancake breakfast on Saturday, February 29, 2020;
and

WHEREAS, Trinity Lutheran Church is a family of believers in Jesus
Christ; since its inception, the Church has diligently worked to share
the name of Jesus, and help others grow in their faith through various
ministries such as music and drama, ushers, media and technology,
marriage counseling, and Prayer Warriors; and

WHEREAS, One of the most important goals of Trinity Lutheran Church

Lutheran Church stands on the threshold of tomorrow, prepared to meet
