Parishioners of Trinity Lower East Side Church marked the 30th anniversary of the dedication of their church building on Sunday at Avenue B and Ninth Street.
The original dedication took place in 1996.
Among those attending the celebration was Pastor Bob Wollenburg, who led the congregation through the rebuilding effort during his tenure in the late 1980s and 1990s. He is pictured here with current Pastor Will Kroeze.
As part of the anniversary program, the church screened "In Word and Deed," a 1992 film documenting Trinity's ministry and its campaign to build a new church amid challenging circumstances.
"For over 180 years, Trinity Lower East Side has been in the heart of our beloved community, worshiping, serving our neighbors, and offering a place of radical welcome for all seeking healing and wholeness," Kroeze said on Sunday. "Today we give thanks for all who have given so much of themselves to support this remarkable place, especially those whose hard work and sacrifice made possible the construction of our church home 30 years ago."
