The Trinity Lutheran School students in North Morristown recently celebrated National Lutheran Schools Week with the theme “Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord” from Psalm 100. The week began with the students singing and playing hand chimes to “From All That Dwell Below the Skies”. They also sang Psalm 100 a capella with hand chime accents.

The Tide Turners outplayed The Wave Riders with a 2-1 match victory.
