Mission Team Info for September 2019

Our monthly meeting time has changed! We will now be meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm in the conference room beside the church office. All with a heart for service or ideas for service-type projects are welcome and encouraged to attend!

Mobile Hope Dates for SEPTEMBER:
Each month we prepare and serve hot meals on the Mobile Hope bus in Lucketts, VA. Mobile Hope is a local non-profit that supports children and young adults (24 years of age and younger) who are precariously housed, homeless, or at risk, living in Loudoun County. They work to change the future one child at a time, providing clothing, food, hygiene items, medical referrals, housing referrals etc.
Wednesday September 18 @ 6-8 pm:
Prepare meals in the kitchen at HTLC
Thursday September 19 @ 6-7:30pm:
Distribute meals on the Mobile Hope bus in Lucketts
Cookie bakers are also needed each month to bake cookies in their home and deliver to the church on Mobile Hope delivery Thursdays! To volunteer, please visit the HTLC website and click on the Mobile Hope Bus under the “Pitch in” tab. Our Sign-up Genius is available for you to select a date to help out!
You may have noticed the progress on our new HTLC WELCOME CENTER in the gathering area. We have been working hard to move this project along and look forward to having it up and running! After much discussion and thoughtful planning, we have come up with a design that will welcome new visitors to our church. It will provide information about new member activities, programming offered at HTLC and even provide a MAP of our beautiful church so people can navigate themselves.
If you are interested in helping to put the finishing touches on the welcome center, we would “welcome” your help! We will need volunteers to help with the layout of the information, to frame and hang photographs of the pastor, staff and council members, and generally get the information ready to be displayed. Anyone with some spare time or an interest in design can contact Amy Miller at fivemillersva@gmail.com.

 

Parents of Preschool & Elementary Students

On Monday evening, June 10th at 7:00 we will have a very important gathering to help shape the future of our ministries to and through our children and their families. We ask you to share one hour and fifteen minutes of your time to help us develop a ministry plan that can serve our families and children!
Our promise to you is that this meeting will be limited to one hour fifteen minutes. This is a one time event! Please come and share your ideas! Here are some of the questions we will explore:
• Sunday School: Time, Schedule — What are your children saying?
• What can we do to support you, the parents?
• What can we do to support families?
• What is the best time for Children’s Choir?
• How do we reach out to invite others to join us in our ministries?
• What is the best way to communicate?

Children’s Musical

The Children’s Choirs of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church present:

Nic at Night

Sunday, May 5, 11:00 am

Plan to join us as our Joyful Noise Children’s Choir presents the wonderful story of Nicodemus’s encounter with Jesus at night! You won’t want to miss the suspense as we encounter Secret Disciples, a caterpillar, the Sanhedrin and most importantly, Jesus. This is a GREAT opportunity to invite your friends and neighbors to visit our congregation. It’s not a worship service, but with are sure God will be with us!

The Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Children’s Choir is made up of children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The children provide musical offerings during Holy Trinity worship services approximately once a month, and present a musical each spring. The group rehearses each Wednesday night, as part of Holy Trinity’s Wednesday Night, LIVE! (WNL) program. WNL is an intergenerational ministry for adults and children. The evening provides an informal atmosphere to grow in faith and experience Christian fellowship through shared meals, Children’s Choirs, Adult Choir, Bell Choir and various outreach efforts.
