What is the plan for the Beginning of Advent?
Advent begins in just 10 days!
Advent starts early this year. With the Thanksgiving holiday sandwiched between the final Sunday of the season after Pentecost and the first Sunday of Advent, we're being a little creative in how we've scheduled the events around the beginning of the new season.
We could use your help in any or all of these kickoff activities for Advent.
Friday, November 26 - Decorating the HTAC Sanctuary
10:00 - 11:30 AM: Come help us decorate the Holy Trinity Sanctuary for the first Sunday of Advent.
This year, we are splitting up the "Hanging of the Greens" into two sessions: one session on Friday for the Sanctuary, and the second session on Sunday evening for the rest of the Church.
On Friday morning, we'll prepare the Sanctuary for our first Advent worship services on Sunday morning. If you have the day off from work, consider joining us for this special preparation of our worship space.
Sunday, November 28 - Decorating the HTAC Interior Spaces
5:00 – 6:00 PM: On Sunday evening, we'll get the rest of the "greens" hanging in their right places throughout the hallways, classrooms, fellowship hall and annex, making all of our interior spaces ready for the season and ready for our Open House guests, who will begin arriving at 6 PM.
The kids (small and large) will have the special assignment of decorating our new 9-foot Christmas tree!
Bring the whole family and join us for a true family event.
HOLY TRINITY ADVENT OPEN HOUSE
Immediately following the "Hanging of the Greens" on Sunday evening, we will host an Open House for our friends and neighbors throughout the Colorado Springs area.
The Open House will run from 6 PM to 8 PM on Sunday, November 28.
We've invited people from the apartment, condominium and townhouse communities in the Gleneagle neighborhood.
We encourage everyone in the Holy Trinity family to invite their friends, neighbors, ministry partners, work team members - anyone and everyone.
We'll have Christmas music and carols to sing, tasty homemade cookies and beverages to enjoy, and plenty of good company and conversation.
This is a no-pressure, no-expectations event, so bring your friends and family, and simply enjoy!
How can you help?
You can help make these events a success in the following ways:
Come! Join us for any or all of these events. Your presence makes a difference!
Bake or bring cookies or beverages for the Open House. We want everyone who is attending or participating in the Open House to enjoy yummy snacks and refreshments. Having lots of choices will make that so much easier.
Help us with the Open House. We need folks who can help with activities for the children, and we need adults to be greeters and hospitality helpers for the visitors who come for the Open House.
If you plan to be a part of any of these activities, please let us know, via email or phone message. The contact information for the Church Office is listed in the footer for this webpage.
