The George Washington Chapter of the
National Society of the American Revolution (DAR) Galveston, Texas
Celebrates the Foundation of America September 17-23
Commemorating the 231st year of the signing of the Constitution and keeping alive the memory of the brave men and women who secured our nation’s independence and made possible the liberties we enjoy today. Proudly display your flag.
The Bulletin Board in the stairwell across from the Trinity School office was designed and displayed by
Cheryl Tucker, DAR Regent,
to inform and share our history with the students. Also The beautiful, ornate stained glass doors across from the organ console were the original front doors from the George Seeligson home, formerly at 1220 Avenue H, where the George Washington Chapter, the first DAR chapter in Texas, was founded in June of 1895. A plaque marking this distinction is on the hall side of the doors.

The context of AMEN in scripture, plus the scholarly studies of the word’s origin, show us that AMEN is a statement of affirmation. Jesus used the word in the weightiest parts of His teachings. Some gospels even translate the word as “Verily, Verily” or “Truly, Truly.”
Today, it is a common end to prayer as it states that we are in agreement with God’s teachings.

PARKING LOT USE
Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence. We certainly encourage use of the parking lot, but caution those planning lunch or other offsite activities to please park elsewhere after church sponsored events. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors with the new owners.
