Latest Update 8 July 2025

Please join us on Sunday July 20th after church for a welcome lunch! This is a great chance to get to know Father Matt and other staff members, and to better understand the vision of Holy Trinity Anglican Church!

Please register by EOD on July 18th. REGISTER HERE!

Many of you have reached out asking what we can do to help after the flash floods in Texas over the 4th of July holiday. Thank you. We are so grateful for your willingness to pray, to give, and to go. 

You can donate specifically to Texas Flood Relief Efforts on our website. Please forward this email and share this link far and wide - every little bit counts as together we will support our brothers and sisters and their surrounding community.

ARDF is working with the North American Lutheran Church to help identify needs and coordinate response efforts early in the coming week, including the delivery of flood relief supplies from ACNA churches in the area with Disaster Response Warehouses.

We are pre-staging and putting a plan in place to stand ready to respond after first responders say it is safe to enter the area.

 Please Pray With Us

We know of affected Anglican clergy and church members, and we stand ready to assist them and their communities as we can. Please pray for those who have lost family members in this tragedy.

Lord, have mercy. 
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Almighty God, by your Word you laid the foundations of the earth, set the bounds of the sea, and still the wind and waves. Surround all affected by the flooding in Texas with your grace and peace, and preserve them through this distressing time. By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those who work to rescue or rebuild, and fill us all with the hope of your new creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Many thanks for the photo submissions that have come in! Based on recent submissions, we've narrowed our more general theme of Worship to more specific themes for the coming months: 

June/July: Cathedral in Nature - natural beauty that evokes spaces of worship such as tall trees, vast vistas, light shows on water or leaves....

August/September: the Communion of Saints - the church around the world (pictures from Rwanda, Pakistan, coworkers in the Gospel where folks have served in mission)

September/October: Doorways and Portals - paths, doors, windows, reflections that hint at spaces just beyond, around the corner...

Oct/November: Not a sparrow falls - the season of Fall, birds, leaves, falling things...

Please include a title and a brief reflection on your choice.

In April, Welcome COS partnered with several other organizations to launch a new program called Culinary Connections. This new program brings people together through food with a purpose.  We were honored to be highlighted in this lovely local article “Side Dish with Schniper” after our pilot cook day!


Through Culinary Connections, refugees and immigrants share their culinary expertise while community members experience new flavors and cultures firsthand. Every meal supports job training, certification, and fair wages for our refugee women chefs.


Several of our dear Syrian friends are cooking for the next event on June 14th.  Our HTAC family is welcome to purchase meals. They are selling out quickly (so if you don't snag one, you'll have another opportunity in July!).  

Browse our delicious offerings, place your order with ease, and enjoy the convenience of fresh, flavorful meals ready for pickup on Saturday, June 14.

Visit us now: https://culinaryconnections.us/

This will be a time set apart for us to simply bless Jesus with grateful, adoring love — and let any conversations about church planting arise out of that place as we hang out and share a meal together. Childcare and dinner are provided. See the registration form for all the dates and details!

Latest Update 19 May 2025

Ordinary Time is the season that bookends the liturgical year: following Pentecost, it's the time when we work out our faith in the power of the Holy Spirit while also anticipating the coming of the Lord at Advent. During this lengthy season, we would like to feature a rotating exhibit of photographs from Holy Trinity that speak to the heart of this season reflected in psalm 96:9: O Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him. Please send your digital photos together with a title and a brief description of how it ties to Ordinary Time to Laura Laurie (laura.e.laurie@gmail.com) by June 8th.

Dear Holy Trinity Family,

On behalf of Welcome COS, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous giving last Sunday. In challenging times, my heart is so encouraged by our church and the tangible ways you are caring for our refugee neighbors.  This week, we met with partners in this work to make a plan of care, specifically focused on newly arrived refugees whose services and funding have been stopped.  Welcome COS is stepping into several different areas to provide support to those families who are still new to our city.  Your generosity is helping us to rapidly expand what we can do in the community.  Thank you and many blessings.

Amy

Beauty will save the world, according to Dostoevsky. Curt Thompson says, “Beauty draws our attention and attunes our hearts to the presence of God.” To quote another friend here in this congregation, Lancia Smith,“Every act of beauty is a defiance of despair, every candle lit repels the darkness.” 

 The strongly reinforced theme of the Compline service is this: God is our protector. It is this last service of the Daily Office that deals most directly with the assaults of the enemy and the other perils we face, asking for God’s peace and shelter. Join us for this evening rich with Scripture, music, peace, and beauty. It is an opportunity to lay your cares at God’s throne. 

 Special guests of Soli Deo Gloria Choir will be helping to lead the service.

What is Advent and how do I "do" it?  Advent is a season of preparation for Christmas and The Incarnation, as well as its own deep and important season (1-23 December), but sometimes it's hard to learn how to participate fully while doing it.

your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the

Singer/songwriter/storyteller and Mississippi native Matthew Clark blends a thought-provoking narrative lyricism with well-honed guitar skills to craft songs that have been likened to the work of Andrew Peterson, Phil Keaggy, and James Taylor.

Each Fall Matthew loads up his tiny-house-in-a-van (a converted Dodge Sprinter dubbed “Vandalf the White”) and travels all over the country playing concerts in homes and churches.  Matthew’s engaging conversational performance style has led concert-goers to comment that the stories between the songs are as enjoyable as the songs themselves.

“The Well Trilogy” is Matthew’s current project: 3 full-length album/book combos releasing over 3 years. Each installment is made up of 11 songs and a companion book of 13 essays written by a variety of contributors exploring themes around encountering Jesus, faith-keeping, and the return of Christ.

Listen to Matthew’s music here: www.matthewclark.net

used to fill shoe boxes for children in underdeveloped countries, and for
some children in the U.S.  Before final delivery, Christian literature is
inserted by Samaritans Purse, the overall sponsor of this great ministry.

 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, labels and gift suggestions
