HTAC School Fees support for Nyagatovu Parish benefits kids!

Pastor Jean-Claude sent us the following email message:

Dear Kevin and Holy Trinity family:

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ and happy new year to you and your families. I hope that this email finds you well.

I'm pleased to send you this report of school fees, second term 2023-2024, where we paid school fees to 10 students and the amount paid is 647000 Rwandan francs. All students went to their schools with the bankslips as shown in the image above.

What a blessing that we can support these children from our sister parish!!!

FOOD DRIVE for LENT

This year, we are doing something extra special for Shrove Tuesday: We are partnering with Tri Lakes Cares and their Market & Pantry to sponsor a special support drive to gather food, household and personal care items specifically lacking and needed on the shelves of the Market & Pantry. Please bring items from the lists below with you to the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. We will be delivering these items to TLC by February 16.

Here is the list of the current needs:

FOOD ITEMS - fruit cocktail, sugar, canned meat, canned tuna, canned chicken, spaghetti sauce, white rice, peanut butter, beef broth, cup-of-soup, youth applesauce cups, nut-free individual snacks for kids

SUNDRIES - denture cream, denture cleaner, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, deodorant (men and women), incontinence pads, feminine hygiene products, liquid hand soap; bar soap

Artists: It's time for our annual call for artwork with Lenten themes.

We are looking for visual, musical, or written pieces that explore and/or communicate these Lenten themes:

Intercessory prayer for others as well as ourselves, fasting, and alms-giving, with a particular focus outward, as we experience and invite others into a journey toward Easter.

If you have a work of visual, musical, or written art that you would like to offer, please connect with the Church Office for instructions on how to submit your piece or pieces.

Note: We will be posting pieces on the Holy Trinity website.

PREPARATIONS FOR EASTER BAPTISMS

Easter is coming!! If you are interested in being baptized, or if you are interested in having your child baptized, please reach out to Pastor Matt or to Pastor Jeff via email or by phone.

We are preparing for the Baptism classes, which will run from February 11 through Lent, and would like to hear as soon as possible from those who might be interested in participating.
