Support Mobile Hope

Posted on by

During the month of April we are supporting Mobile Hope, a local organization that empowers homeless and at risk youth.

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.

Easter Flowers

Each year we decorate our sanctuary with beautiful flowers on Easter. You’ll have an opportunity to purchase flowers ($12 for one or $22 for two) or donate funds to purchase flowers and can provide a dedication in honor of or memory of someone. The forms are available with the worship bulletins in the narthex, or print the attached form and return to the church office.

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

Mowing Season

Posted on by

HTLC will start its 15th mowing season on March 24 ending on Oct 5.

Last year we had 4 teams rotating on 2 week cycles with some teams consisting of families as well as individuals. Each team was scheduled 3 times throughout the season. More volunteers will add additional teams or increase the numbers on the present teams. 2 riding mowers with fuel are provided as well as push mowers and trimming equipment. Mowing can be done anytime during your 2 week cycle.
Please contact Jim Truxel -540-338-4669 , jimtruxel@comcast.net or the Church office and I will be in touch. Standby volunteers are also accepted.

Thanks for considering this important project.

Lenten Worship – Wednesdays

Wednesdays in Lent

“Have a Beautiful, Terrible Lent!”

Wednesdays at Noon – Lunch and Discussion

Wednesdays at 6:10pm – 6:50pm – Discussion (join us at 5:30pm for dinner)

Wednesdays in Lent will use Kate Bowler’s Lent discussion guide called Have a Beautiful, Terrible Lent!”

Kate Bowler is a Duke University professor, podcaster, and author with a single mission: giving you permission to feel human. After years of being told she was incurable, she was declared cancer-free. But there’s no going back. She is forever changed by what she discovered: Life is so beautiful and life is so hard. For everyone.

This study will use excerpts from her new book “Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day!” You may buy the book, but you do not need to buy the book in order to participate in the discussion.  You may go to her website katebowler.com to sign up for daily email devotions that will come to your inbox throughout Lent to be part of your Lenten discipline.

• Wednesday, February 21: “Entering The Wilderness” Mark 1:9-15

• Wednesday, February 28: “The Limitless Love of God” Mark 9:2-9

• Wednesday, March 6: “Transformation (Not Perfection)” John 2:13-22

• Wednesday, March 13: “The Depths of Renewal” John 3:14-21
