Christmas Cookies Needed! The Women’s Ministry would like to thank our church staff and Council members by gifting each of them a tin of homemade cookies or treats. We will need at least 19 dozen cookies, brownies, bars or treats to do this (items must be individually bagged). Can you help by making 1-2 dozen goodies? Please drop off during services or Sunday School next Sunday, December 11. We will be packing tins that day at 12:30pm. All are invited to help us with this! For additional details, please contact Heather Peoples.

 

Mark your calendars for “The Lutheran Organ at Advent” Concert at Holy Trinity. The concert will be held next Sunday, December 11 beginning at 4pm and performed by our own Matthew Noonan. We hope all of our Holy Trinity family can join us for this joyous event!

 

Annual Rake and Run - This Saturday, December 10. If you would like to have our Youth rake your yard, reach out to Cody. This is a free service offered to those in our church family who may not be able to handle this type of yard work on their own. Our Youth are looking forward to serving you in Christ’s love! 

 

Update on our Casa Bernabe sponsored children: Manolo is in college and studying to be an engineer. His younger brother Cristofer has learning struggles so is unable to attend college but does have a job. They are living with their oldest brother and his family, and pay him rent and money for food and power. Please pick up a donation tag on the Giving Tree in the Connector if you would like to help them with these basic needs. For more details, please contact Katrina Hinds. 

 

The congregation of Holy Trinity is invited to attend the wedding ceremony uniting William Carol Mattox, Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Faulkner on Saturday, December 10 at 5pm.
