Following the inclusive and reconciling footsteps of Jesus, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church publicly declares that we will actively pursue racial justice in all aspects of our congregational life and make changes to better align our practices to being a racially just, beloved community.
We welcome, with no exception, all people to the full life of this community of faith.
It is out of our deep and abiding love for the neighbor that, effective immediately, we are cancelling Sunday worship, all programming, committee and working group meetings, choirs, and other events until at least Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, at which time we will re-evaluate.
The Community Church Newsletter for January 31, 2021, is now available. In today’s newsletter, you will read a message from ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton about the COVID-19 pandemic and the church’s response. It’s very inspiring.
If you click on all of the links and read/listen/watch everything, you will be busy for a long time. You can watch previous adult forums, our discussion series that started last week, the worship service from Sunday, Amanda Gorman reading her poem at last week’s inauguration, and some study material for upcoming discussions. (There are no quizzes!)
We invite you to eat the bread and drink the wine in your home. Even across time and space, God is present in these gifts, and we are present to each other.
The Community Church Newsletter for January 24, 20201, is now available.
You know by now that the annual meeting will happen via Zoom on January 31. As we do every year, we will be voting to replace four council members whose terms are ending. The nominating committee has nominated Allison Johnston Heist, Erin Henry, Gretchen Lund, and Mike Nevergall for the open positions. You can learn about them in today’s Community Church.
As is our custom, we are celebrating Holy Communion today. We invite you to find bread or crackers, wine or grape juice (or any morsel of food and sip of liquid) in your house and celebrate God’s meal with us.
