From the Pastor:
This weekend is the July 4th holiday weekend. For those of you who are traveling, we wish you a safe holiday and we will be remembering you in our prayers at worship. For those who are here, we have a special commemorative service planned.
Last used here in 2011, we will be worshiping using the Muhlenburg liturgy celebrating our colonial heritage. We also know that this liturgy was used in Georgia in the 1700's. So, as we celebrate American independence on this year of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, we celebrate our historic roots as a people and as God's people here in this place.
Our Gospel lesson reminds us of the value of small actions in faith. Come to worship as we experience faith community this Sunday!
God's blessings,
Pastor Scott

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." - 2 Corinthians 3:17
In the days ahead, we will celebrate the gifts our Lord has bestowed upon our nation. As we remember and give thanks for all those who fought, and fight even today for our liberty, we celebrate the knowledge that only through God may we experience true freedom. Lord, we pray that we will act as you would have us act: as those reassured by our God that we are loved and saved. Help us to continue to share your Good News with others through both word and deed. Amen.

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 as well. Please consider if this would be an easy way for you to serve here at Holy Trinity.
PayPal - 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!
