Children’s Musical

Posted on by

The Children’s Choirs of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church present:

Nic at Night

Sunday, May 5, 11:00 am

Plan to join us as our Joyful Noise Children’s Choir presents the wonderful story of Nicodemus’s encounter with Jesus at night! You won’t want to miss the suspense as we encounter Secret Disciples, a caterpillar, the Sanhedrin and most importantly, Jesus. This is a GREAT opportunity to invite your friends and neighbors to visit our congregation. It’s not a worship service, but with are sure God will be with us!

The Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Children’s Choir is made up of children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The children provide musical offerings during Holy Trinity worship services approximately once a month, and present a musical each spring. The group rehearses each Wednesday night, as part of Holy Trinity’s Wednesday Night, LIVE! (WNL) program. WNL is an intergenerational ministry for adults and children. The evening provides an informal atmosphere to grow in faith and experience Christian fellowship through shared meals, Children’s Choirs, Adult Choir, Bell Choir and various outreach efforts.

HTLC Closed due to Inclement Weather

Posted on by
Saturday, January 12, 7:30 pm
The weather picture continues to look bleak as the night progresses with a
huge storm heading our way. Even if we do not get the predicted 3-5 inches
of snow, our parking lot probably will not be cleared in time for our 9:30
am worship. Therefore, we will be prudent for safety’s sake and cancel the
worship service for tomorrow. So thank God for his many gifts, including
snow, and say a prayer for our church community and all the people that are
affected by the government furlough.Thank you all for your devotion and diligence.
Pastor Gerry
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church follows the lead of Loudoun County Public Schools regarding closures due to inclement weather. If the school activities are cancelled for Saturday, church activities are also cancelled. Please watch Facebook and HolyTrinityLeesburg.org for updates!
On Sundays, if it snows and it is dangerous — stay home!
Please remember that our first concern is everyone’s safety.

Small Group Ministry

Posted on by
We are excited to begin small groups this month. Special thanks to Stephanie and Kyle Bollinger, Susan and George Cusson, Cindy and Leigh Johanneck, and Carol and John Sapienza, who are the small groups’ leaders.
To date, we have 29 people signed up. If you have signed up, you will be getting a call from one of the leaders about the beginning group date and time. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can always do it by letting the pastor know.
They will have six meetings between October 15 and December 15. The initial feedback is very good with a shared excitement for this ministry. Also, thanks to Sandy Johnson for leading the example Small Groups during Sunday School.
A church is the body of Christ found in the unity of Christian believers. We are a church when we meet together and share our faith, our perspectives, our resources and our talents. Small Group ministries enable Christians to increase their biblical understanding, engage others in faith conversation, and pray together as a group. In the small group people come together to share their faith — personal faith, and our community’s faith — this is where our overall church’s faith in Christ is strengthen.
Small groups are the environment that nurtures us in faith. By being surrounded by others, just like us, we can walk a spiritual journey together. Furthermore, we can develop spiritual friendships that will make the journey enjoyable as we hold each other up along the way. We experience what it means to be a community of faith, and not be alone in our faith journey.
