HEALING JOURNEY 2021


Healing Journey is an event sponsored and organized by our Diocese, the Anglican Diocese of the Rocky Mountains.

Healing Journey is about creating space and inviting Jesus to bring life, healing and restoration into our lives. Wherever you may be on your journey with Jesus, whatever work He may be doing in your life, Healing Journey is an invitation to pause and take notice of what He's doing, to "Come and see," as Jesus says.

Our own Pastor Al and Jo Janssen attended Healing Journey in 2019 and had this to say: “I wanted to let you know that it (Healing Journey) was perhaps the best retreat I have experienced in nearly 50 years of ministry. God used it powerfully in our lives.”

Speakers at this year's event will include Bishop Ken Ross, Fr. Nick Hamilton, Lisa Elmers, Deacon Cindy Hamilton, and Dr. Douglas Groothuis.

Healing Journey will be held on November 5 & 6 at Wellspring Church in Englewood, Colorado. Several people from Holy Trinity are already signed up to attend, and some of our clergy will be prayer ministers at the event. We strongly encourage you to make a way to experience this amazing opportunity.

OUR NURSERY NEEDS YOU!

We're still seeking nursery volunteers to serve one time per month for the second Sunday service.

This is a simple yet profound way to serve the "least of these" (with regards to stature at least ;) in our parish. . .just a couple of hours on one Sunday morning a month.

It's easy duty, really! The nursery cares for our littlest ones, between 6 months and 4 years old. A typical Sunday sees 1 to 3 children in the nursery. We've put together some accessible prayer, song, and Bible reading activities, so you don't have to figure out what to do to keep the children entertained. Or, you can just be present and available for our youngest members in the Body.

Please contact Pastor Matt Traylor if you are willing to serve or if you have questions. He'll guide you through next steps to get you in the rotation.

Holy Trinity Life Groups

Here's a final breakdown of our Life Groups at Holy Trinity: We have nearly 50 family units signed up for Life Groups! That's an amazing number - more than double what we've had in the past. The groups and meeting times are as follows:

Sunday

  • Janssen Group

  • Summers Group (every other week)

Tuesday

  • Moon Group (every other week)

  • Eastman Group (every other week)

Wednesday

  • Burnett Group (every other week)

Thursday

  • Langenfeld Group

  • Pollard Group

Friday

  • Stroup Group

  • Summers/McMillan Group (every other week)

To be determined

  • Traylor Group (still forming and deciding on meeting schedule)

In addition to these groups, we also have the Thursday morning Ladies Bible Study and the Friday morning Men's Group, both of which meet at the Church weekly.

There are still available spaces in some of the Life Groups, if you are interested in joining. It's not too late! In addition, we are always open to creating more groups if the need arises.

These small groups are such an important and dynamic context for joyfully being on mission with God and with one another (being "influencers), and they contribute in unique ways to our formation as followers of Jesus. Don't miss out!

For more information on small group opportunities at Holy Trinity, please reach out to the Church Office or to Pastor Chris Stroup.
