Preservation of the King Gustav V Altar Cloth


The 75th Anniversary Committee thanks members of the congregation for their generous financial support of the yearlong celebration of Trinity’s founding in 1948.

Remaining monies collected by donations, along with two sizable donations by individual members, are enough to cover the cost of preserving the altar cloth (antependium) embroidered by King Gustav V of Sweden and donated to Trinity Lutheran Church in 1948.  The antependium is currently off-site and being preserved by Ed Turner Art and Frame Emporium, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. It will be returned to Trinity in a glass enclosed frame for display.
