Happy 50th Holy Trinity!

Posted on May 26, 2015September 23, 2015 by Leesa Bell

Come celebrate with us!

Sunday, June 14, 2015, 9:30 AM

Service of Praise and Thanksgiving Followed by a Program and Catered Lunch

In just a couple of weeks, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Holy Trinity’s first church service. Have you wondered what it felt like to have been there at the very beginning, participating in the growth as well as well as the
struggles? Ask some of our charter members about their experiences and have them share some of their memories with you.

A few of our charter members are: Jim Truxel, Sarah Houff, MaryLu Belote, Anne Wohlford, Dotty Martel, Clara Brill, and Mary and Larry Grant.

We have invited Bishop Richard Graham, past pastors and their families, as well as former members of the congregation who have gone into the ministry. The Zawacki family, who was sponsored by Holy Trinity in the 1980’s, will also be joining us on this special day.

We hope that you will be able to join us for this very special moment in the history of Holy Trinity, renew friendships of those you may have not seen in a long while and forge a new friendship with someone you may have never met.

Holy Trinity has endured its struggles but the people in this community have always pulled together and worked to meet goals and spread God’s word through our many ministries. God has blessed us with many wonderful things and Holy Trinity is a blessing to all those who enter its doors.

Join us on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, and be inspired by Pastor Phil Hirsch! Pastor Hirsch is Assistant to the Bishop and Director for Evangelical Mission in our Metro D.C. Synod. His focus is on evangelism, stewardship and ministry with people living in poverty. He will be our preaching and presiding minister that morning. During the adult education hour, he will share with us the best practices of growing congregations in the Metro D.C. Synod.

Pr. Hirsch went to Susquehanna University and then received a Master of Divinity degree from the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago in 1990. He earned a Doctor of Ministry from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio in 1997 in preaching with a focus on alleviating violence in the inner city. He was awarded a Leadership Grant from the Lily Foundation to continue his work and study in South Africa in 1998.

Pr. Hirsch served as pastor in Camden, New Jersey and, most recently at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Fairfax, Virginia. He has served as a Synod Council member, Conference Dean, Candidacy Committee member, Chair of the Division for Ministry, Colleague Group Leader for First Call Theological Education and he worked with the Burned Churches Project of the National Council of Churches.

Children’s Choir Musical

Posted on February 21, 2015September 23, 2015 by Leesa Bell

The Children’s Choirs of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church present

The Old Testament Fast Forward

by Tom Long & Allen Pote

Sunday, March 22 ~ 8:30 am &11:00am ~ as part of our Worship Services

Sunday, March 15 ~ 3:30 pm ~ Village at Orchard Ridge, Winchester, VA

“The Old Testament is really a library of books — law, history, poetry, wisdom, and prophecy—written in two languages by dozens of inspired authors. Viewed through Christian eyes, the story it tells begins with creation and moves through human sin and God’s great plan of redemption — a plan that included nearly 2000 years preparing the Hebrew people for a coming savior.

The Old Testament Fast Forward begins with the comic notion that this epic history can be recounted in ten minutes. In fact, the musical presents many of our foundational faith stories in a light-hearted way. We tried to preserve, however, the great themes of that history —God’s unending love for us despite our fallen natures, and God’s long-standing covenant with a Chosen People — ultimately fulfilled in the Messiah.”

— Tom Long and Allen Pote

The Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Children’s Choir is made up of 20 children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The children provide musical offerings to Holy Trinity Worship services approximately once a month, and present a musical each spring. The group rehearses each Wednesday night November through April 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 thru shared meals, Children’s Choirs, Adult Choir, Middle School & High School Chimes and various outreach efforts.
