The senior activities are organized by Bonnie Massing. For more details contact Bonnie at the church by calling 724-588-8870. There is no upper age limit to go with Holy Trinity's seniors and the lower age limit is that you must be old enough to have graduated from high school. They go see plays at the New Castle Playhouse, go on picnics, go out to meals and anything else that looks like fun. We'd love to have you along.

Ukrainian Egg Decorating classes are offered during Lent. A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg, decorated using a wax-resist (batik) method. The word comes from the verb pysaty, "to write", as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax. Beginners and those who have come in the past are all welcome. You need 2 raw eggs and one dollar to cover cost of supplies. A display holder is one dollar if you wish to display your finished egg. Bring your eggs in an egg carton.
