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.

“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.

On Sunday, March 17 our Joyful Noise choir will present The Tale of Three Trees. This is a musical based on an American folktale with music by Allen Pote and with lyrics and narration by Tom Long. “Once upon a mountaintop three little trees stood and dreamed of what they would become when they grew up.” This is how this timeless American folk tale begins. This simple, but deep story reminds us that God is there to help our dreams come true, but sometimes in unexpected ways. It also reminds us to look for God, in unexpected places in our world – even between two prisoners on a hill!
Joyful Noise has a long history of presenting musicals at Holy Trinity, however due to the pandemic, we have not been able to do one since 2019! We are excited to bring this tradition back! It is not too late to join the fun. Children, grades K-5. are welcome to participate. Rehearsals will be on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-6:50 pm and there will be a dress rehearsal on Saturday, March 16.
