Weekly Update: 21-26 November 2023

Schedule for Sunday, November 26

Sunday Morning Services: We will continue our regular two-service schedule this Sunday, with services at 8:30 and 10:45 AM.

Pastor Matt Burnett will be preaching at both services.

Between services, Terri Moon will present the final lesson in her discipleship series on "Why Christians Sing". Please join us in the Sanctuary from 10-10:30 AM for this excellent class that explores the ways God uses singing and our individual (and collective) voices to bring us into worship. 

Our regular calendar of other weekly events, as described AT THIS LINK, will be in place through the rest of the week.

For this Thanksgiving week, we are especially grateful for each and all of you, our Holy Trinity family. We delight to worship with you on Sundays. We marvel at your generosity and your care for others. We treasure your smiles, your handshakes and your hugs of friendship as we all do "community" together. May God bless and keep you and yours over this Thanksgiving holiday.

Christmas Caroling Event

On Sunday, December 17 from 5:30 PM 7:30 PM, we will have a neighborhood caroling party. Everyone is invited! We’ll gather in the fellowship hall at 5:30 and then go out in teams to sing Christmas carols in the neighborhoods within walking distance of the Church. Afterwards, we'll return to the fellowship hall to enjoy hot apple cider and cookies. Please bring a plate of cookies or treats to share. We hope this event will help our neighbors in the surrounding community get to know us as people who share the Living Water of Christ, and feel welcome to attend our services over the Christmas weekend.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact Terri Moon.
