Advent Art Reminder

This is a reminder that Holy Trinity is inviting artists to offer visual art pieces and written art or devotional works for display in the Church and on the Holy Trinity website during the Advent and Christmas seasons.

Please consider sharing visual or written pieces that are resonant with themes of Advent hope, of casting away the works of darkness, and of putting on the armor of light. All visual artwork will be returned to the owner at the end of the Advent season. 

Please submit a brief description of your art piece, including your thoughts on how the work responds to the themes of Advent. We will display your description along with the art, so those viewing your piece will have your insights. 

If you have a work of art that you would like to offer for display, please send a photo and information about the piece via email to the Church Office (office@holytrinityanglicanchurch.org) or to Terri Moon (musicalmoons@gmail.com).  

Hanging of the Greens is coming!!

Holy Trinity will hold its Hanging of the Greens event on Sunday,  November 26 from 6 to 8 PM at the Church.

Please join us, and invite your friends! This is a very special Church/community event that will include activities for the children, the decorating of our Christmas tree, special music and singing of carols, great food, and wonderful fellowship.

As we did last year, we will have a delicious cookie & sweet treat buffet, so bring your favorite holiday cookies or treats to share.

Other Important News

Singing Class Adjustment: We have adjusted the dates for Terri Moon's discipleship class on "Why Christians Sing". To allow everyone, including Terri, to attend the reception for Pastor Jeff and his family, there will be no class this Sunday (Nov 12) between services. Session 2 of Terri's class will be next Sunday (Nov 19) between services, and Session 3 will be on November 26 between services. This is a great class; don't miss out.

Little Women Society: The Little Women Society will meet on Saturday, November 18 from 3 to 5 PM in the Fellowship Hall at Holy Trinity. This gathering provides a space for 4th to 12th grade girls and their moms to discuss Biblical virtues through hands-on skills, projects, service, and outreach in formative spiritual and practical ways. Terri Moon will be leading this meeting on the virtue of humility, as she shares about Handel's "Messiah" and instructs the girls on how to use caligraphy pens. Terri has a wonderful, interactive teaching style that will be a blessing to the girls and their moms. 

SAVE THE DATE: On Sunday, December 17 at 5:30 PM, we are having a very special outreach event for our Gleneagle neighborhood. We are going Christmas caroling!! We'll visit the townhome and condo communities within walking distance of the Church, and we'll sing and hand out flyers for our Christmas Eve and Christmas morning services. This is a big deal!! After our series of food truck events over the summer for our Gleneagle community, it feels like the timing is right for Holy Trinity to reach out to our neighbors in this special way for Christmas. Please plan to join us on December 17.
