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).

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.
