TPC to Celebrate Historic Birthday

 

 

On October 19, 2009 Tustin Presbyterian Church marked 125 years of ministry in the Tustin community. A year of celebration began on Sunday, October 18, with a choral Evensong and a "Kirkin' o' the Tartans."  On Sunday, November 1, All Saints' Day, our morning worship honored all of the saints who have been a part of TPC from 1884 until the present.  This was followed with our Advent and Christmas celebrations, a Christmas Choral Concert on December 13, a winter concert entitled Festival Music for Organ, Brass, and Timpani on January 17, and a Lenten Choral Evensong on February 21.  Our next event was a concert by Luminaria, the women's chorus from Vanguard University directed by our soprano soloist and section leader, Dr. Joni Prado, on Sunday, March 7.  An all-church picnic in Peppertree Park is being planned on Sunday, September 12, to conclude the anniversary year.  Watch for announcements about other activities being planned to celebrate this important milestone.
