Choirs, Fellowship, Food!

This fun evening of music and fellowship has been a Holy Trinity tradition for more than 20 years.  If you are in Joyful Noise (Children’s Choir Grades K-5,) Handbells (Grade 6-Adult,) or Confirmation, or just don’t feel like cooking, plan to join us on Wednesday evening for dinner.  There is no need to bring anything.  Meals will be ready and a freewill offering will be collected to defray the cost of the food.  Each week the dinner menu will be sent out and we simply ask that you let us know if you plan to attend.  (Even if you forget to tell us, we still would love to have you!)  The schedule for the evening is as follows:

4:30-5:30pm Confirmation (Youth)

5:30 – 6:00 pm Dinner (Freewill offering to defray the cost of dinner)

6:00 – 6:50pm  Children’s Choir – Sing & Ring  (Grades K-5)

7-8:00 pm Hand Bell Choir (Middle School – Adult)

Women of the ELCA

Posted on by

Join us for our next meeting on November 5@ 10 a.m.

Tuesday, October 1, was the date for our October Women of the ELCA meeting. Bag lunches for the Leesburg homeless shelter were prepared and Mary Grant delivered these following our meeting. There was discussion about increasing the number of lunches we prepare each month as the weather becomes more inclement and the shelter has an increased need. A decision will be made in November regarding this issue.

Following a short business meeting (sign-ups, financial update) we continued our book study of Drew Dyck’s Just Show Up. Chapters “Show Up in Person” and “Find God’s Will with Your Feet” were shared. The themes of people needing our physical presence more than our words, and the need to keep walking on God’s path gave way to a lively and interesting discussion.

We received a lovely note from Melissa Logan, Principal at Frederick Douglass Elementary, thanking WELCA for leading the Fall community project KIDS – Expect the Unexpected at Holy Trinity. We are looking forward to participating in the annual Angel Tree project which will begin in November and also benefit the children at Frederick Douglass.

We welcome any women from our Holy Trinity congregation to join us!

Pat Bailey, President

A Holy Trinity Tradition…

Posted on by

As the season of reflection unfolds, we are drawn to angels and their pivotal role in the miraculous tale of Jesus’ birth.  These celestial beings serve as divine messengers. This year, you too can embody the spirit of an angel and share the joyous tidings of Jesus’ birth and His boundless love through our Advent Angel program. Interested souls may sign up beginning Sunday, November 10, to become an “Advent Angel” for one or more of our cherished Sunday School children, spanning Preschool to Grade 8. Your identity as an “Angel” shall remain cloaked in mystery until you choose to unveil yourself to your young charge during the gathering after worship on Sunday, December 15.

What does it take to embrace the role of an Advent Angel?

  • Seek out the Advent Angel sign upon the table in the Commons.
  • Collect as many envelopes as your heart desires. Within each envelope lies the name of one of our Sunday School students, allowing you to be a guiding light for multiple children.
  • During the Advent season, send a heartfelt card to your assigned child(ren).
  • Adorn the Christmas Tree in the Commons with an “Angel” ornament by Sunday, December 8, ensuring that the tag with the hole accompanies the ornament. Remember, your name must remain a secret on the tag!
  • Gather in the Sanctuary on December 15 after Worship to reveal your identity and greet your “angel” child.

Our cherished legacy of Advent Angels demonstrates that the impact of your angelic ministry resonates far beyond this joyous season! We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your participation in this beloved tradition!
