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!) We Started November 13, 2024, and will continue thru the spring.
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)
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?
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!

Sunday, November 3
This event will start during the Sunday School Hour, 8:45-9:45 am, for ALL ages! This is the day when we celebrate All Saints Day during worship. All Saints Day typically focuses on those who have died during the year. However, did you know that in the Lutheran Church you do not have to be dead to be a saint? Actually, anyone who follows Jesus is considered a Saint! You are a saint!! Lutherans believe that sainthood is not a thing to be achieved, it is a GIFT of God!!
In our lives, there is likely someone who has really helped us along our faith journey. On November 3, everyone is invited to bring a picture of someone who they feel has helped them draw closer to God in faith- sort of a personal Saint! This can be someone who has gone before who now is celebrating life in God’s heavenly Kingdom or someone who is still living here on earth! We will light candles for the Saints and everyone will be invited to fill out a card with the saint’s name and a little information about their life!
At the end of the hour, anyone who has brought a picture of a saint who has gone before and is living in God’s heavenly kingdom is invited to join the Gathering Procession in worship carrying the picture of their Saint. We will then place the pictures in our worship space to remind us of the people who have modeled life in Jesus and can continue to serve as examples for us of a godly life.
In addition, we are hoping to have some cookies as refreshments for the day and thought it might be fun to have cookies made using the recipes of some of the saints who have gone before us! Maybe you have a cookie recipe from your mom, grandparents, or friend. Watch our weekly announcements for more information!
