BIG PLANS FOR ADVENT 1 - Sunday, November 28

We have an ambitious schedule in place for the first Sunday of Advent, November 28.

In addition to our two regular morning services, we are planning the "Hanging of the Greens" annual event for 5 PM that evening. This is our gathering to decorate the Church, inside and out, for the Advent/Christmas season.

In addition, we are hosting a community Open House for the Gleneagle neighborhood and for a wide variety of our friends and ministry partners around the Colorado Springs region. The Open House will be from 6 to 8 PM on that Sunday.

We'd love for these events to be "all hands on deck" gatherings. The decorating goes quickly with lots of helpers, and the Open House really requires a solid, welcoming presence for our guests.

Please let the Church Office know whether you will be able to participate in either or both of these events. It will aid in our planning.

A REMINDER FOR YOUR CALENDARS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1

We are planning a very special First Friday evening service for December 1. On this first Friday of Advent, we are partnering with IAC to offer an evening contemplative service that will feature a wonderful Compline liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer, along with special music and musicians, visual arts and plenty of space for prayer and contemplation. The service will begin at 6:30 PM and will be hosted by Holy Trinity in our Sanctuary. You won't want to miss this amazing service, so mark your calendars today.

Tri Lakes Cares - Giving Tree Ministry

We are participating again this year in the Tri Lakes Cares (TLC) Giving Tree program, which helps underprivileged children and seniors get through the holidays. This is a wonderful cause that Holy Trinity has supported for many years. The "how do we do this" is pretty simple: Go to the Giving Tree web site at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/givingtree-holytrinity" (tags on the physical Giving Tree in our lobby have this address), select a gift, and return the unwrapped gift with the recipient's ID# attached to the church no later than 9 Dec. If you have questions or needs help, Ryan Paradis is our point of contact for the Giving Tree program. You can reach Ryan at (719) 964-6711.

Baptism Photos

One last, quick item: if you have photos of the baptisms from the past two Sundays (Renee Traylor and Korbin Stone), please let the office know, so we can have those photos collected for the families and for the HTAC archive.
