We Lutheran’s like to eat, so food is always included with whatever we decide to do. Is there something or some place you think would be fun? If so, please share it with us. We really hope you will join us and become part of our ‘Classics Family’ here at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
The Classics visited the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley
We met 14 towering dinosaurs and prehistoric animals made from scrap metal and found objects by Minnesota artist Dale Lewis. Each sculpture, in a uniquely imaginative way, blended art and history! We also enjoyed seeing the gardens and museum.
WELCA Mary/ Martha Circle will conclude our year with a meeting on Tuesday, June 12th at 10 a.m. in the Commons area.
What a great year it’s been! In the Spring of 2023 we finished our year with 4 members – Spring of 2026 finds our roster has grown to 15 women from the HTLC congregation. What a blessing!
Our year was highlighted by providing monthly lunches to the Loudoun Homeless Shelter and the book study of Joan Chittester’s The Gift of Years. In addition, we reached outside of our circle to the Holy Trinity congregation, the Leesburg community, and the needs of the international scene.
September: In honor of the passing of WELCA founding member Betty Schafer, WELCA made a donation to the HTLC roofing fund. We also funded a restocking of the“accident” clothes for Frederick Douglass Elementary.
October: a very successful sub sale with all monies designated to be used for the roofing fund.
November: The congregation joined us by generously providing Thanksgiving food bags and grocery gift cards for families at Frederick Douglass.
December: WELCA sponsored four children from the Angel Tree.
February: found us collecting Giant gift cards to provide pantry restocks for families designated as homeless at Douglass.
March: During the 2026 Lenten season, WELCA sponsored the third annual “10 CHICKS for $10” outreach. We were delighted to have Holy Trinity and Little Blessings preschool donate $1420 which was sent to the international ELCA Good Gifts program.
April: our circle funded a Spring restocking of clothes for the children at Frederick Douglass – over 60 pair of underwear, shorts, and sweatpants were delivered.
WELCA Mary/Martha will complete our year with a (very) delayed Christmas luncheon on June 12th at Travinia’s. Before we adjourn for a restful summer, we will be donating funds to the Youth group for their Lights at the Laundromat project. Our circle is extremely proud of our congregation’s youth in taking this wonderful step into community outreach!
We welcome any woman interested to join us in the Fall!
Blessings,
Pat Bailey, President

LOUDOUN HUNGER RELIEF
Although it may be hard to believe, there are about 16,000 people in LOUDOUN COUNTY, the richest county in the nation, who struggle with food insecurity! We continue to collect food items and paper goods. Collection boxes are located in the Gathering Area near the Church office, and in the Narthex by the main sanctuary doors.
Any items are welcomed, but the following months have themed foods:
We also need extra hands to help collect and deliver the donations. If you can assist, contact Kim Mills or the church office. (office@holytrinityleesburg.org)
