Let’s Take a Walk!
The 2010 CROP Walk is SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17th AT 2PM. and will begin and end at First Congregational Church, 40 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair.

We will join neighbors from different faiths, cultures, and ages, walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Some 2,000 communities across the country take part each year. CROP = Communities – Responding to – Overcome-Poverty!

The WALK will begin and end at First Congregational Church, 40 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair, and is the usual 3 miles.

This year we are joining together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks around the theme “we walk because they walk.” T-shirts and baseball-style caps will be available at a cost of $10.00 for adults.

WALKS help fight hunger and poverty around the world. The total raised for the 2009 Essex Walk in Montclair was over $16,000 (the $20,000 goal was not reached, but the weather did not cooperate) with $4,160.50 being returned for our 11 local food pantries in Montclair, Bloomfield, Kearny and Nutley.

WALK envelopes, poster, flyers, t-shirts, etc. will be available for distribution. Call (973) 744-6043 with any questions.


Oops!
Last month’s Newsletter gave the incorrect college for Brian Johnson. Brian is attending Rutgers University.

Thank you.
To all who sent cards, best wishes and prayers while I was recuperating. It meant more than you can know to have the support of friends during my stay at home.

And an extra-special thank you to all the VBS teachers who assumed the responsibility for doing crafts with the children during my unexpected absence. You all are among this congregation’s truest and best blessings! ~Debbie Jones


Food Drive
Please remember our food drive. We will continue to collect food as part of our offering during worship. Bring your non-perishable food items to worship with you, and leave them in the designated area in the Narthex. Thank you!

Can You Help Us Go Paperless?
Postal rates are scheduled to rise again in January 2011. Please help us to distribute more and more of our information electronically. Many of you have already given us your email information – for those of you that haven't already shared your e-mail address with the church office, please consider doing so by sending an e-mail with ADD ME TO THE MAILING LIST in the subject line to office.htlcnutley@verizon.net.

Can We Send This Newsletter to You Electronically?
We can send this email to anyone with a Microsoft Wordtm version 1993 or later. For those that would like to give an email address, but would still like a hard copy of the Newsletter, this is no problem – just state this in the email to us.

Holy Trinity is now on Facebook. You can become a fan of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and stay up-to-date with what's going on in the congregation and among our members. As a fan you can also post your news, your questions, thoughts and experiences of God's love in action to share with others. It’s just another way to share the good news, overcome barriers and connect one to many in Christ. You can access our page directly from our website, at www.htlcnutley.com

Magazine Swap
We here at Holy Trinity have started a magazine swap. Please bring in any magazines that you are done reading and swap them for something else; chances are you will have some material that another individual would be interested in. Maybe when visiting the sick or elderly you can bring along some reading material you think they might enjoy.

We will leave a drop-off box in the Narthex – please remember to REMOVE THE NAME AND ADDRESS label first. Please, NO NEWSPAPERS. Think about all the trees and money you might save, and the joy you might bring to someone that might not be able to afford a subscription!
