On the Calendar



PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CHOIR AND NO THURSDAY AFTERNOON BIBLE STUDIES IN JUNE.

THE CHURCH COUNCIL WILL MEET ON JUNE 15TH. AT 7:45PM.



Open the Scripture. Join the Conversation.
Every Monday night at 7:30 p.m we gather to open the scripture and join in conversation with God and each other.What is God doing in the the world? What is God doing in our lives? What is God saying to us as individuals, a community of faith, the world? What is the good news of God's kingdom? How is God sending us into the world? These are just some of the questions we ask as God engages us through God's word and the witness of the Holy Scripture.

Father’s Day
Fatherhood, like motherhood is a holy job, a divine calling. God has given dads a special role in our faith and life development. We are thankful for fathers, and according to many fathers, becoming a dad gave a new understanding to God's word and work in their lives. It’s fitting to begin our Father's Day celebration (June 20) in worship together with our fathers.


Mark Your Calendars and Plan to Join Us As We Journey to Africa for a Baobob Blast!Our journey begins Sunday, August 15 and ends with a closing program on Friday, August 20. We will meet in the evening again, from 6:00-8:30 p.m. The Registration fee is $15.00 per person (maximum is $30.00 per family). (Registration forms will be available at church – please pick up after worship or call the office; you will be able to register online shortly.) Please register by August 1st. and make your check payable to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Join everyone at God’s Great Get-Together for a week of creating, connecting and coming together. There is a place for you at BAOBOB BLAST! Put on some sunscreen and head to the community gathering at the baobob tree….join in a week of awesome music, wacky skits, Bible stories and cool crafts. Baobob Blast is the place to be this summer!

To help defray the cost of education and craft materials or to sponsor a camper, we are asking for monetary donations. If you would care to make a donation, there will be donation envelopes in the church entry, which can be put in the offering plate through June, July and/or August. Please make sure to clearly mark the offering for “VBS”.

Can you help create our “Baobob Blast?” Do you have stuffed, plastic or blow up African animals: elephant, zebra, meerkat, monkey or giraffe? How about posters of the African Savannah or wildlife? We could use animal print fabric, rugs or pillows and wall hangings or rugs with natural fibers. African drums, rhythm instruments and woven baskets would also add to our atmosphere.

Donations may be brought to church any time. Please identify them with your name so that they can be returned in August after VBS. Stay tuned for more announcements about craft preparation and church decorating.
Thank you!
