Children’s Choir Musical – Tale of Three Trees

Posted on by

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.

Wee Worship

Posted on by

Starting Sunday, September 17

While we LOVE having our children in worship and feel that we want that to continue, we realize that for some preschool children (and their parents) the time of the adult sermon can be a stressful. Parents worried their child will disturb others! Kids not understanding the message and becoming fidgety! With Wee Worship, we hope to alleviate some of the stress. After the Children’s Sermon, preschool children (Ages 2-5) have the option go with a leader to the small classroom off of the Commons. The leader will read a short story, lead them in a short craft and maybe even teach them a song. They will then be brought back to the Sanctuary following the collection of the offering to participate in Holy Communion and the remainder of the service!

Sky Is Falling Campaign

Posted on by

The Sky is Falling campaign is seeking to raise $150,000 for the replacement of the church’s flat (rubber) roof.

There has been significant damage over time, and well, time and sun has contributed to the deterioration.

This campaign will see full funding in 24 months (May 2025)

Without a sound roof on the building, there is nothing under it that can be protected.
