Upcoming Events
Worship - Sundays at 9:30 AM
At 9:30 AM, worship with us inside the Sanctuary! There will be full congregational singing and no limit for attendance. We have full communion, minus the common cup, but pre-filled communion cups are still available for people who still wish to social distance. Masks are optional.
For the forseeable future, we will continue to hold Worship Services at 9:30 AM, alternating between our Traditional and Contemporary formats.
This service will be live-streamed on our webpage at 9:30 AM every Sunday.
We are looking for any and all volunteers to help out during Worship. Please use this Sign-Up Genius link to sign up as a Worship Assistant for this Sunday, or any Sunday in the future: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080c4fa8ab23a4fa7-worship16

You’ll be engaged during this Forum through conversation, videos and small-group interaction as you’re introduced to the five primary elements of Christian Creation Care and their importance in both congregational life and personal/family living. We’ll first meet in front of the kitchen (chairs) and then under the vaulted ceiling of the Gathering Area (tables). This is the first Adult Forum hosted and led by the Creation Care Task Force.

Packs & Purses - Sun. May 19
Last fall HTELC met to discuss upcoming goals for our church family. One of those goals was to increase our outreach and involvement with the community. The Social Ministry Team has decided to collect 20 purses and 20 small packs/bags which will then be outfitted with personal items. These bags will then be brought to Operation Blessing to be distributed to clients. In addition to the purses and packs, the SM team will also be requesting donations for these bags. We ask that these items be full sized. With the assistance of OB, we are requesting the following items: socks, body wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, combs and cleansing wipes. The “tree” is in the Narthex with tags hanging from its branches. Each tag has a list of items. Please try to keep the value of each tag at $10.00. And, while everyone is doing their spring cleaning/purging, please feel free to donate any purses, packs or sacks that you are no longer using. I've been told that many women have multiples of these items, stashed in their closets. They will be put to good use! Bins are by the tree to collect your donations. We will be assembling the bags after services on Sunday, May 19.
Tanzania Adult Forum - Sun. June 16
The purpose of our Adult Forum is to see how we as a congregation might go about re-starting this ministry now that the pandemic has lifted and both Isimani and Holy Trinity have new pastors in place. We will discuss both the history of the ministry and its future possibilities. We may also be able to enjoy a short “zoom visit” with some of our Isimani friends and their new pastor. We have scheduled this adult forum for Sunday, June 16th, right after church. It will be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about this incredible partnership and together discern its future. Please mark the date on your calendars!
Semi-Annual Meeting & Church Picnic - Sun. June 23
Details coming soon.

What to Expect When Worshiping at Holy Trinity
If you are visiting for the first time or you are not a regular church-goer, this short guide is for you.
What is worship like?
Worship at Holy Trinity follows a traditional pattern that dates from the early church. It involves the whole person in the "worship of the people" (the "liturgy"). There is singing and responsive readings, prayers and greetings, candles and colorful pastoral garb, sitting and standing, words about the Word and an open invitation to the Lord's Supper, offerings and closing exhortations to go forth and serve the world. Don't worry if this may be new to you. We all use a printed Worship Booklet to guide us through the service, and other worshipers will happily help the newcomer. A large-print version of the Worship Booklet is also available. Just ask the usher.
What should I wear?
People of every walk of life are part of our community and our attire reflects that. Come as you are. You will see people in jeans, dresses, suits, shorts, high heels and flip-flops.
What happens after worship?
Following the worship service we assemble in the Gathering area for coffee, light treats, and fellowship. Please join us!
Children in Worship
If you bring a child to worship at Holy Trinity, feel free to relax! We believe that God gave children the wiggles when God made them, and it’s ok for them to wiggle during worship.
We have a children’s sermon each week during worship to engage children in the stories of the Bible in a way that they can understand.
Worship tables
We have three worship tables in our sanctuary for children to use. Each table has a Children's Bulletin. Your family is welcome to sit near one, and your children can worship while they color and create artwork to decorate our sanctuary.
Nursery
Children of all ages are welcome in our worship service, but for those who wish it, a staffed nursery is provided for children up to age 5 and located down the hallways to the left of the kitchen.
