A Special "Thank You" from Tri Lakes Cares
Our participation in the Tri Lakes Cares (TLC) Giving Tree program for 2021 has concluded. Our very generous congregation filled 47 of 50 "gifts" we were asked to provide. Our Coordinator for the program, Ryan Paradis, reports, "TLC was extremely appreciative of my delivery today, as their Giving Tree donations may have dropped somewhat from last year. They pass along their thanks to everyone for helping out. I think we've made Christmas a little brighter for a few people who really need a helping hand."

REFUGEE MINISTRY - INTEREST SURVEY
If you heard Amy Schulte's recent talk about refugee ministry, you know that there are many, many options and opportunities to have an impact in this arena, especially in Colorado Springs and along the Front Range.
The opportunities for ministry to refugees run across a spectrum: from a full-on Cultural Mentorship Teams to coordinated support efforts to help a particular refugee family to ad hoc acts of care and support offered by individuals, either alone or in conjunction with a partner church.
As promised, we have posted a short survey on our CCB platform to gather information on who at Holy Trinity might be interested in ministry to refugees and what types of ministry activities you might be willing to participate in. Please take a few moments to fill out the survey at this URL:
