Weekly Update: 7-12 November 2023

Schedule for Sunday, November 12

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, and he'll be presenting the second sermon in a three-part sermon series on Holy Trinity's vision.

Between services, we will have a special reception to congratulate and celebrate Pastor Jeff and his family, as he begins his new role as Associate Pastor at Holy Trinity.

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

What's on the Calendar?

Special Reception on Sunday, November 12: We will have a special reception between services this coming Sunday (November 12) to congratulate and celebrate Pastor Jeff Stone and his family, as he begins his new role as Associate Pastor at Holy Trinity. In addition, during both of the services on Sunday, we'll have a special blessing and prayer over Jeff and his family. Please join us on Sunday to welcome the Stone family.

Operation Christmas Child: We are currently in the middle of the 2023 edition of Operation Christmas Child! We pray and hope you can help bring a special Christmas blessing for a child who needs to experience the love of Jesus. Shoeboxes are available in the Fellowship Hall, so please pick up a shoebox, do some shopping, and return your shoebox filled with love and goodies by November 19. Each gift box will be tagged for a specific age group and gender, and suggested gifts for each child group are listed on the Operation Christmas Child website at THIS LINK.

Call for Advent Art: Holy Trinity is inviting artists to offer visual art pieces and written works for display in the Church and on the Holy Trinity website during the Advent and Christmas seasons. If you have a work of art with Advent themes that you would like to offer for display, please send a photo and information and a brief description about the piece via email to the Church Office (office@holytrinityanglicanchurch.org) or to Terri Moon (musicalmoons@gmail.com).   

Little Women Society: The Little Women Society provides a space for 4th-12th grade girls and their mamas to discuss a Biblical virtue through hands-on skills, projects, service, and outreach in formative spiritual and practical ways. The next gathering of the LWS will take place on Saturday, November 18 from 3 to 5 PM in the Fellowship Hall at Holy Trinity. Terri Moon will be leading this meeting on the virtue of humility as she shares about Handel’s “Messiah” and instructing us on how to use calligraphy pens with her wonderful interactive teaching style.

LWS Christmas Tea: The Little Women Society's December event is coming up quickly on the 2nd -- just two weeks after their November meeting! Please join them from 3-5 p.m. to celebrate together with a Christmas Tea and card-making service project. You can RSVP to the event at this link.
