Ten Chicks for $10

Posted on by

Chicks As members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we believe that God is calling us into the world – together. And with generous, loving hands, we can make a difference. Holy Trinity’s Women of the ELCA (WELCA) and Little Blessings Preschool are joining forces again this year to sponsor the ELCA Good Gifts program.

Ten little chicks can make a big difference. Eggs from chickens not only provide an ongoing supply of protein-rich meals for a family, they can also launch a small business that provides a steady source of income.

To participate:

Complete this form:  10 Chicks for 10  Then write a check to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church with “10 Chicks Drive” in the memo section, and drop both in the offering or at the church office. (Preschool parents may give the check to their child’s teacher.)

The Lent 2025 10 Chicks for $10 program will run from 3/9-4/6. Your gifts support the ministries of the ELCA in nearly 80 countries around the world. We look forward to another great response from everyone, so Thank You in advance for your generosity!  Watch the Display in the Commons area to See our Chick Numbers Grow.  

(Last year, the congregational and preschool response was tremendous and we were able to send funds to cover the cost of 1000 baby chicks!)

Lent at HTLC

Sunday, March 2 ~ 8:45-9:45 am Prepare for Lent Thru Prayer / Pancake Breakfast

Join us for a warm pancake breakfast as we prepare our hearts and minds for Lent.  If you’re fasting from a food item this season, consider bringing it to share!  Experience interactive Lenten Prayer Stations and pick up devotional materials for personal or family use (a freewill offering will be collected for some materials).

Lenten Prayer Stations – March 2 Throughout Lent in the Gathering Space & Commons

Engage in prayer like never before!  Each station will invite you to pray in creative ways using everyday objects — band-aids, Legos, maps, Scrabble letters, and more — to deepen your connection with God.  Stop by anytime throughout Lent.

Family Devotional Videos – Tuesdays starting March 4

Families will receive a weekly video link that complements the Lenten Family Devotional materials available at the Pre-Lenten Fair.  These short videos will help spark meaningful discussions, guiding families to grow in faith together.

Ash Wednesday Worship – Wednesday, March 5

Join us as we begin Lent with the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion at two service times:

12:00 Noon – Soup & Salad Lunch to follow

6:30 pm – Baked Potato and Salad Bar from 5:30 – 6:30 pm (A freewill offering will be collected)

Lenten Book Study & Lunch – Wednesdays at Noon:  March 12, 19, 26 & April 2, 9

Join us for a 40-day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer edited by Ron Klug – a devotional book study accompanied by a Soup & Salad lunch.  Each day’s reading includes scripture, a reflection from Bonhoeffer, discussion questions, and a prayer.  Books available at church or can be ordered independently.  Can’t make it in person?  Use the book for your own Lenten devotion.  (No judgement if you didn’t read – Just join us!)

Prayer Around the Cross – Wednesdays at 6:00 pm:  March 12, 19, 26 & April 2, 9 ~ Gathering Space

A sacred time of responsive prayer as we lift up our congregation, community, country, and world.  Join us for a guided experience of spoken and silent prayer.
