Weekly Update: 16-21 January 2024

Schedule for Sunday, January 21 - Single Service / Business Meeting / Chili Cookoff 

Sunday Morning Services: We will have a single service this Sunday, January 21 at 9:30 AM. Immediately following the service, we will have our Annual Business Meeting, followed by the Chili Cookoff and Potluck Lunch.

Pastor Matt Burnett will be preaching during the single service.

During the service, we will have Children's Catechesis, and the Nursery will be open.

In addition, the High School and Middle School youth will not meet this week after the single service. Instead, the Youth will have an ice skating event on Sunday afternoon/evening at the Acacia Park ice skating rink from 4 to 6 PM. All youth are welcome. For more information, connect with Pastor Jeff or with Krysta Smart.

Volunteers and Helping Hands Needed

The Chili Cookoff is an event that requires a lot of helping hands.

We still need judges for the cookoff. If you're willing to be a taster/judge for the competition, please let the Church Office know. 

Also, we need setup and cleanup help. If you are willing to help with this event, please reach out to the Church Office (email: office@holytrinityanglicanchurch.org or phone: 719-505-8021) and let us know, so we can add you to the roster of volunteers who will support the cookoff.  

Life Summit - Agenda Details

Note: RSVP is not necessary to attend. Everyone welcome.

8:00 AM - Carl Trueman: Abolition of the Human

Less than five years ago, questions like; What is a Woman? or What Does it Mean to be Human? had obvious and easy answers. But with the advent of artificial intelligence, abortion through birth, technology, the right to euthanasia, and a plethora of genders – defining and understanding the truth that human beings are sacred and made in the image of God got more than complicated! In this keynote address, Dr. Trueman will trace the evolution of the sexual mores and psychological identities that got us to where we are today.

9:00 AM - Carl Trueman: Rebuilding Humanity in the Likeness of God

Once we understand the depth and breadth of the problems we face as the Church in defining the value of humanity, Dr. Trueman will share strategies and tools he believes the Church can employ to respond to the cultural upheaval we encounter daily. He will discuss how understanding what it means to be a created human being, and employing the creeds, the Anglican Catechism, and the counsel of God can equip believers to respond with love to our neighbors with different worldviews. Both Keynotes will feature time for Q & A.

10:00 AM - Local Impact discussion 

We will have food and discussion about the sessions and local ministries and prayer! It will be an opportunity to fellowship and encourage another. This is a more family-friendly portion of the morning. (The other sessions are designed for older teens and adults.)

10:45 AM - Abby Johnson: Navigating Beyond Roe in Life-Affirming Ministry

As a former Planned Parenthood Director, Abby will share her testimony and discuss how we as a movement can better serve the needs of pregnant women amidst the new realities of living beyond Roe in America. She will talk about how you can model God’s mercy to those who seem undeserving, and respond with grace when others err or offend, while bearing witness to God’s unrestrained compassion so that others may know Him.
