Message from our Pastor

Posted on by

Psalm 118:24 24

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Reading this verse you may start singing the song “This is the day. This is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. We will rejoice. We will rejoice and be glad in it and be glad in it. This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the Day. This is the day that the Lord has made.”

The signs of spring are all around us. Trees budding, flowers blooming, grass growing, birds chirping and warmer temperatures. Each week during chapel with the preschool children we start by singing “This is the Day!” Each day is a new day God has given us, a new day God is at work in our lives and in the life of the world. Each day is a day to rejoice for even in the most difficult of situations there is something to be thankful for.

Look around and enjoy the sights and sounds of spring and also enjoy the amazing people God has created that are around us. I am so thankful for the members and friends of Holy Trinity who share their gifts and insights and faith with one another and with me. This is the day that the Lord has made!

During this Easter season and every day may we find reason to rejoice and be glad!

Upcoming Dates:

Sunday, April 14 – Pre-School Sunday! Our pre-school families are invited to join us for worship and the preschoolers will share a few songs in worship!

Sunday, April 21 – Youth Sunday! (Our middle school and high school youth will lead worship this day!) You will not want to miss this. We have some amazing and faithful youth who continue to grow in their relationship with God and are so brave to shareit with us.

Sunday, May 19 – Pentecost Sunday! (Wear Red) and Confirmation Sunday for Marc Buzzell & Braden Dahlquist

God’s Peace,

Pastor Kristin Hoyer

Mobile Hope works to change the Social Determinants of Health for children and young adults (24 years of age and younger) who are precariously housed, homeless, and at risk, living in Loudoun County.  They create pathways for this fragile, overlooked and often unacknowledged population to have access to daily essentials and life changing support.

Our concentration this month will be to collect the follow items to donate towards Mobile Hope’s programs of support:

  • Canned Tuna
  • Canned chicken
  • Granola Bars
  • Canned Fruit
  • Cereal
  • Canned Veggies
  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Hearty Soups
  • Snacks and peanut butter crackers

Please place your donations in the “Golden Cart” located in the church.

Help a Community

Peep-le Get Ready!

Little Blessings Preschool & Holy Trinity this Easter are collecting orders to purchase chicks to make a difference in families and communities in over 88 countries.

Help a family spread their wings. When chicks grow up to become chickens, their eggs not only provide an ongoing supply of protein-rich meals — they can also help start a small business and generate a steady source of income.

$10 per order will purchase 10 chicks. 10 for 10!

ORDERS WILL BE COLLECTED FROM 2/18-3/10.

To order, Contact preschooldirector@holytrinityleesburg.org  or office@holytrinityleesburg.org
