KIDS CHOIR REHEARSALS

Here's some exciting news from Terri Moon, our choir leader:

Calling all children in the elementary grades who would like to participate in a children’s choir! We are meeting on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-6:30 pm in the Holy Trinity Sanctuary, starting this week, October 20. Our goal is to worship together, learn to sing, begin to read music, and prepare a special piece of music to present for worship sometime in Advent.

If your child is interested in participating, just come on Wednesday, or you can contact Terri at musicalmoons@gmail.com. We know this is relatively short notice, so if someone would like to participate but can’t come this week, they are still welcome!

If you have questions, contact Terri or the Church Office.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Again this year, HTAC will join other churches throughout the United States in the Operation Christmas Child program, sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse. OCC invites individuals, groups and communities to assemble gift shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and life needs for children around the world. Each gift shoebox is age and gender specific and will be distributed by OCC to children worldwide in a massive annual undertaking.

Our OCC program is coordinated again this year by Ashley Carlson; however, she cannot do it alone. If you are interested in assisting Ashley with logistics and support, please let her or the Church Office know.

It may seem early to be talking about a Christmas program, but now is the time to gather items and supplies for the giftboxes. Sales for school supplies currently abound, so take advantage of them!

The OCC collection dates for finished shoeboxes will be November 15 - 22. Keep an eye out for the OCC display and information center in the Fellowship Hall in the coming weeks. More details will be coming.

HEALING JOURNEY

Please don't forget to register for Healing Journey, taking place November 5 & 6, at Wellspring Englewood: http://rockymountainanglican.org/healingjourney/.

Speakers this year will be Bishop Ken Ross, Lisa Elmers, Dr. Douglas Groothuis, Nick Hamilton, Cindy Hamilton, and Sean McKelvey.

We will worship the Lord in song, trust the Holy Spirit to move in us through the stories and talks shared, and yield to his healing power through prayer and prayer ministry. We invite you, as Jesus does, to 'Come and See.'

This event is for everyone, as everyone is in need of Jesus' healing. We do not want the cost of Healing Journey to keep people away; therefore, we are offering a few full scholarships and have many partial scholarships available.

If a scholarship would make the difference for you to be able to attend, please reach out to the Church Office.
