Our worship services have been planned and are just waiting for you. Please choose your service and attend. Let’s break tradition and increase our attendance this spring. We want all to hear the word of God and to come to the table of the Lord. All are welcome.

We are asking you to commit to praying and making a donation in honor of one of our Lighthouse Heroes and their family. 11th Annual Holy Trinity Yard Sale April 25th, 2014 8 am – 4 pm Donations may be received: Thursday & Friday, April 23rd & 24th 9:00 am – 7:00 pm Please help support Holy Trinity members serving on a Lighthouse Family Retreat in 2015. At Lighthouse, we serve families living through childhood cancer at seaside retreats to help them rest, restore family relationships, experience joy and find hope in God. The retreats are free for the families; however the volunteers, called “Family Partners” have to pay their way and are encouraged to raise enough money to help pay for the families attending. Our yard sale, along with a generous donation from Thrivent Financial each year, has enabled many of our members to attend & has helped to cover the cost of a few families each year. This year, Thrivent Financial’s donations are being offered in a new way. If you are a Thrivent Member and would like to make a donation through Thrivent to help support a family living through childhood cancer, please contact Julie or Alice at the numbers below for more information on how you can help. We hope you will grab a “Hero” from our tree in April and make a donation in their honor along with committing to pray for them over the next year. We would love to receive any of your discarded “treasures” (no large electronics, adult clothing or knives) on April 23rd or 24th for the yard sale and then ask you to return on the 25th to shop, enjoy a cup of coffee and grab a tasty hotdog for lunch. For more information or questions contact Julie Fesefeldt @ 678-469-9874 or by email [email protected] or Alice Rohrbach @ 770-973-7205 Be Well Ministry Healthy hors d’oeuvres, Take Two!

SCRIP Program for April SCRIP - WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED! April showers bring May flowers, and home improvement projects, vacation plans, getting the lawn in shape, purchasing wedding gifts. I’m tired already. Stop by the wooden table or the Ministry Station in the Fellowship Hall and pick up the eight (8) page catalog listing all the great retailers where you can purchase cards for your use or as gifts. There is a wide range of restaurants, both casual and fast food; cards for gas to keep the vehicles running, lodging for planning that vacation get-away, and lists of suppliers for lawn and garden retailers, along with home improvement retailers. This is a win-win – purchasing retail/gift cards through SCRIP benefits both Social Ministry and Saturday Worship, when they receive a percentage of your purchase, and you get the full value of your card.

The High School youth helped prepare an "experiential" Lenten service in which there were several interactive stations, meditations and prayer. And both High School and Middle School youth spent 2 months rehearsing for "The Tale of Three Trees" musical which was presented on March 25 and was just wonderful! It is fantastic that our young people are an integral part of our church community! The youth also embraced the ELCA motto of "Gods Work. Our Hands." by showing up in full force for our Hunger Awareness weekend March 14 and 15. They shopped for and packed meals for 135 students for our Blessings in a Backpack program, sorted clothing at MUST ministries and joined other members of Holy Trinity for the 2015 Hunger Walk at Turner Field. Awesome! In April Youth Ministries will once again be sponsoring the Easter Breakfast. This year we will be offering a continental breakfast of muffins, pastries, bagels and fruit. We hope to see you there! The High School youth are going on a retreat in the beautiful mountains of Ellijay in April. It is sure to be spectacular! Happy Easter! Children & Family Ministry Update What a wonderful time of year! All around us the world is renewing itself; flowers and trees blooming, birds singing, newborn lambs in a field I pass on my way to work. "Watch for God" is something we talk about with our children in UpStreet . God's handiwork is evident everywhere we look. The world around us seems to be celebrating the amazing truth of Easter! Jesus is Alive! Praise his Holy name! I hope you and your children find time to "Watch for God" this Spring. It's a memory worth making. We will be offering our First Communion Class on April 19, 2015 from 1:30 - 3:00 P.M. This is an exciting class for our children as they walk through the Bible and get an idea what it was like at the Last Supper. At least one parent must attend the class with their child. There is a minimum of 6 children required to have the class. There are no age restrictions. Sunday, April 26, we will present the communicants with a certificate in the 11:00 service and there will be a reception in their honor following that service. Vacation Bible School is just around the corner! June 8 - 12 with a Family Finale' on Saturday, June 13 during the 5:30 service. Please be in prayer about your part in this great week. We touch the lives of so many children and their families with the truth of Jesus and His love. It is 5 days from 9:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. Just 3 hours a day, 15 hours that week. It will make a difference in your life as well. Our theme this year is "Everest, Conquering Challenges with God's Mighty Power." I'll be asking for donations of camping gear like you would use in the cold. Also anything that looks like a cabin or lodge will be helpful as we prepare our sets. Sign up sheets for volunteers will be available April 19 in the Children's Hallway and at a ministry station in the Fellowship Hall. It has always been an amazing event and a great bonding time for the crew as well as the participants. Don't miss this opportunity to have fun, meet new friends and make a difference in the life of a child. We need you!! Adult & Family Ministry Update Our Adult classes are all having a great time. The Narrative Lectionary class meets in the library and discusses the scripture that will be used in the sermon the following week. The discussion gives you a preview of the following week’s sermon from scripture. Wired Word class meets in the Chapel and continues to address topics of interest in the recent news from the a biblical perspective. These are interesting, thought-provoking discussions. Our Parenting Class meets in the Children's Hallway, Room 7. Different topics are presented on short videos and are discussed, as well as getting to know one another through discussions about your own family and the stages and situations that arise while raising a family. There is a knitting/crocheting group that has a ministry through the prayer shawls they make. If you are interested in being part of this ministry it meets in room 6, every Sunday at 9:45 am, and the second and fourth Tuesday at 6:30 pm. You are encouraged to come to any of these groups whenever you can. Each week stands on its own, no preparation is required. You will feel welcome and included from the first time you attend. Try them out this month. There is a place for you! 6 2015 Women of the ELCA Redeeming Waters SE Synod Theme: Bible Verse, 1Peter 3: 21a 2015 Good News Cluster Meeting Several women from Holy Trinity will be heading to the Good News Cluster meeting on the morning of Saturday, April 25 at St. Luke Lutheran Church in McDonough.
