Thursday Evenings in Lent: Intercessory Prayer Services
Join us for 4 Thursdays in Lent, 6:30-7:30 PM, on Zoom for a time of intercessory prayer.
We will "wrap" the prayer time with a short Evening Prayer liturgy and will leave plenty of room for those involved in the service to share their own prayers of intercession. We will, in sequence, pray for the world and our country, for our community and region, for the church, and for our family and friends.
The Zoom link for these services, which will occur on February 22 and 29 and on March 14 and 21, is posted on the HTAC website and below:

EASTER VIGIL SERVICE
We are doing something extra special this year for Easter: a Great Vigil of Easter Service on Easter Morning!
In addition to our regular services on Easter morning @ 8:30 and 10:45 AM, Holy Trinity will host a 5 AM Easter Vigil Service that will end as the sun comes up over the mountains. We will borrow both from the Anglican traditions associated with the Easter Vigil service and from the Gospel story around Mary's pre-dawn visit to the empty tomb to celebrate the Resurrection in a special way.
