Holy Trinity Women of the ELCA outreach:

In the fall we spearheaded an “accident” clothes collection for Frederick Douglass. In March we will launch our “Ten Chicks for $10” project – to aid the ELCA Good Gifts overseas outreach. Last year we raised $1000! Dates for the Chicks collection will be March 9 through April 6.

We welcome any women from our Holy Trinity congregation to join us!

Mowing Season

Posted on February 2, 2025February 9, 2025 by Leesa Bell

2025 Mowing Season

For the past 14 years volunteers have been mowing the grass at a considerable savings to HTLC. Two riding mowers, fuel and other equipment is provided.

This year’s schedule starts on March 24 and ends on Oct 19 with 14 two week team cycles. 3 /4 person teams are scheduled and based on the number of volunteers. Each team usually mows 3 times a year which can be done any time during the 2 week cycle. We only mow if needed.

In 2024 we had 4 teams consisting of 3 people of which 1 team was a complete family. On job training is provided at no additional cost.

If you are interested in maintaining the beauty of our Church grounds and getting outside during the Summer please contact me at jimtruxel@comcast.net or 540-338-4669. Or contact the church office and I will be in touch.

Thanks again for considering this important program. Jim Truxel
