WELCOME
Rise and Shine
Upcoming Community Events Welcome All
Let's be honest. Three years is a long time. The last time Holy Trinity's front yard was fenced in and turned into a grand community event was 2019.

Three...years...ago.

Holy Trinity has over 150 "new" members that have never experienced RibFest. The fun. The music. The sense of community. The FOOD! 

That's about to change. 

Tell your friends, neighbors and extended family it's time to go to RibFest! It's going to be a great time connecting with friends, new and old. 

Rise and shine, Holy Trinity. Rise and shine!
Imagine showing up to the first day of school with no school supplies. Think about walking to the school office to receive used supplies, leftover from previous students. Picture parents in the store, choosing between shoes or school supplies.

Thanks to your generosity, we're hosting our 4th annual School Supplies Giveaway to support local families in a drive-thru event.


The Children, Youth & Family Ministry Team received $5000 from the Endowment Fund and Mission Outreach Committee. With the additional donations received, 100 School Supply Kits were created for distribution next week!

Thank you for sharing God's love!

What started from an idea while on a bike ride is now a completed project. All are welcome to join the Peace Garden Dedication!

HUMBLY WE PRAY

Holy Lord,  Bless with healing Mary Ann, Luke N., Deb, Ann, and those struggling with addiction. Surround in love the Nate Kahnke family as they mourn the death of Nate's dad, Leo, and the Chuck Puffer family as they mourn the death of their son, Erik. Thank you, Lord, for a faith-filled week of VBS and a successful Rib Fest gathering. Fill us with the faith and courage needed to be good neighbors. In Jesus' name. Amen

Please drop donations in the HTLC kitchen before/after worship, or in the main office during business hours.

Thank you!

Trying something new can be exciting and terrifying, all at the same time. VBS On The Farm is one of those "things". The logistics of coordinating attendees from 10 churches in a new venue can be paralyzing. But God has done amazing work through a team of staff and volunteers, including several from Holy Trinity. 

This past Sunday, HTLC Hospitality Coordinator, Donna Galvin and her team of kitchen volunteers organized the packing of lunches for VBS students. The only notification for the need of volunteers was a last minute announcement at the end of worship. What happened next was amazing!
Members of Holy Trinity pack 1000 lunches for 200 VBS students!
Many hands make light work. Thank you, HTLC Staff and volunteers for making a difference in the student's lives!
