Christmas Around the World Sunday School Pageant

All over the world people celebrate the birth of Jesus with different customs and different songs, but we have one thing in common: the assurance that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” (John 3:16)   The Sunday School children will help lead worship as we conclude our Advent preparations.  The service will be followed by the revelation of Advent Angels and refreshments.

St. Nicholas

Little is known about St. Nicholas, but he is remembered for his kindness and generosity to the poor.  In Germany, children put out their shoes on December 5 to receive small present from St. Nicholas.  All children are invited to bring a shoe, labeled with their name, to place on the altar.

Sunday, December 18,  4:00 pm – Christmas Carol Sing Along

We invite the Leesburg community to join us in an afternoon of Christmas Carol singing led by our choirs and Holy Trinity musicians.  This is a non-ticketed, free event.

Pew Talk

Posted on by

When we think of our church, our people in the pew give us the best insights. They talk of what things we have done as a church that have meant the most to them. They tell us what things about the church fill them and feed them spiritually. They tell us how we all are doing.

Please watch our final Pew Talk with Holy Trinity's Pastor Gerry Johnson, and his wife, Sandy.

Christian Education

Let’s Put Our Heads Together!

In the musical, The Jungle Book, there is a song that has the lyrics:  “Let’s put our heads together for the one we adore!”  As Christians, the one we adore is Jesus Christ.  As we finally seem to be returning to some normalcy, it is time for us a s a congregation to “put our heads together!”  It is time to rebuild our Christian Education team, putting our heads together to share the Good News of the One we adore!  Being part of the team does not mean you have to do it all.  It does not mean you have to teach Sunday School.  It means you are willing to come to approximately 4 meetings per year to share your ideas and observations, lift each other up, and pray for this important ministry in our congregation!  History has shown that there is a lot of fun and laughter and a real sense of community on this team.  We invite you to prayerfully consider whether God is calling you to this exciting and rewarding ministry!

Crisis in Ukraine

Posted on by

Lutheran World Relief received tremendous news this week:  Nelsonville Lutheran Church in Wisconsin will double all gifts from congregations – up to $100,000 – for our neighbors suffering in the Ukraine crisis.  Right now, Lutheran World Relief teams are working with partners in and around Ukraine.  Your congregation’s gift will deliver urgent support and care, like:  food, shelter and other critically needed items; Mission Quilts and Kits for families who fled their homes; and medicine and supplies for clinics.

 

Gifts will be matched through March 15.  You can give online at www.lwr.org/match

New Members

Posted on by

When visitors come and ask how they can join the church, Pastor usually says, just join right in with what is going on. Meet the people. Share the mission. Then at some time (usually twice a year) we gather people to formally become members of the congregation. We have not had a new members group for over a year due to the pandemic. But now we will!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A New Members Group is forming. We will have a New Members’ Meeting on Sunday March 6, at 12:00 (after the 11:00 AM service). This will be an opportunity to learn about the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. We hope it will be a joyful and informative meeting.

New members will be installed on Sunday March 23, 2022. If you are considering membership or know of someone who is, please contact the church office. If you can’t make the meeting, let us know and we can work something out.

If you are interested or know of someone who is interested please contact Pastor Gerry at PastorGFJ@gmail.com.
