Weekly Budget Need: $19,812
Giving received: $19,166
For more financial information, please check the bulletin board in the hallway outside the administrative door and the Council ministry station in the fellowship hall.
From the Pastor:
Easter is the greatest celebration of the church year. We remember the great action of God's redemption as Jesus is raised from the dead. We discover the joy and power of new life. We understand God is calling us to live in God's kingdom and we serve as God's own chosen people. Celebrate at worship this weekend!
Pastor Scott
Please remember to return the Lenten coin folder in its envelope any time during this season.
"40 Days of Giving"
We are excited to be part of the ELCA’s emphasis on World Hunger and having several options to participate is always nice. We are asking our families to give one dollar a day for 40 days. If 250 of our members or family units give just 1 dollar a day for 40 days we can raise $10,000! WOW! It's remarkable what can be done when we all work together!
Other ways you can get involved:
Pink pig banks are on a ministry table in the Fellowship Hall, another way you can be involved, and you can give $30.00 to buy a big for a family in a third world country and help them get out of poverty.
We will also have a small group focusing on “40 Days of Hunger” that will meet each Sunday through Lent. Who would guess that doing so little could make such a difference? It will absolutely change peoples’ lives!

From your Call Committee:
We have taken the important step of submitting our Ministry Site Profile to the ELCA. The synod will officially approve our profile and will gather the list of candidates they feel best fits our requirements. This step will take approximately 4-6 weeks. Once we have this list of candidates, the committee will begin the interview process.
If any member would like a copy of our Ministry Site Profile, please contact the church office or a member of the call committee.
Beginning the week after Easter, Mrs. Robin’s 4th and 5th grade Sunday School class will be collecting canned goods for MUST. They will be collecting your donations at the Children’s Ministry Station starting April 22/23. Thank you in advance for your participation.

WORSHIP COORDINATORS NEEDED
We are in immediate need of worship coordinators for the 11 a.m. service on Sunday mornings. This person needs to be in the sacristy area around 30 minutes prior to the service to be sure all of the worship servants for the service arrive and are robed and prepared for the service. Once everyone is in place, the worship coordinator is done for that Sunday. If we have several worship coordinators, we can alternate months which makes it easier for all. We could also use additional 8:30 worship coordinators so they can alternate also. Please consider if this would be an easy way for you to serve here at Holy Trinity.
Did you know that you can now donate to Holy Trinity through our website? Click on "Giving" at the top of the page, then press the "Donate" button.
Simply Giving, another simple and convenient way to give.
Consider signing up for
electronic giving. Holy Trinity relies
on the financial support of the congregation and electronic giving offers an
easy way to give on a recurring basis.
Please contact the church office for details. Thank you!
Collections: Youth collect aluminum cans. Please place rinsed cans in Aluminum bin in the parking lot but please put the tabs in the Ronald McDonald collection in the library. Eyeglasses and hearing aids, white socks, bars of soap, and food of the month are collected in marked bins in the fellowship hall.
We have our ongoing collection of food, clothing, towels, blankets, etc. for MUST Ministries, as well as the collection
of business clothes suitable for interviews. Also, sign up for the Loaves and Fishes MUST lunch.
