Thank you for the gifts you share!
A Message from the Vestry
At the Vestry retreat last March, we decided to update the mission statement because we felt that we needed a new vision to reflect changes at the church over the past year. The new mission statement is derived from a robust discussion of what we see as Holy Trinity’s core values: embracing and sharing God’s love for us and our neighbors, having a willingness to explore, embracing newness, fostering creativity, maximizing our community footprint, creating and sustaining a welcoming environment, and fostering a desire to thrive. We wrote many drafts and chose short statements that are easy to remember. On September 20, 2026, the Vestry shared the new mission statement and logo with the parish. Click here to order adult polos, t-shirts, caps, youth t-shirts, and toddler and infant shirts. The last day to place your orders will be Sunday, October 4th at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

All Creatures Walk Invitation!
Walk with us in the All Creatures Walk!
Holy Trinity parishioners are invited to join All Creatures Walk, the first event from Common Procession, on Sunday, October 4 at 3:00 p.m. in downtown Fayetteville.
Held for the Feast of St. Francis, we’ll experience familiar streets differently as we pay attention to the people, places, beauty, and needs within the community we share. The procession will include music, prayer and ritual, story, costumes, and collecting and carrying supplies for unhoused neighbors along the route.
There are lots of ways for Holy Trinity folks to take part: come walk, serve as an acolyte or cross-bearer, represent the food pantry and help distribute food bags, carry supplies, or dress as part of creation—animals, sun, moon, wind, water, and more. Children, adults, and families are all welcome.
Some of the procession is already planned; some will take shape through the people who join us. Bring what you have—or simply bring your curiosity and presence.
Interested in taking on a role or helping shape the procession? Contact Jeremy at figurativelyspeaking@gmail.com or comment on this post in Realm.
Come walk. Come notice. Bring what you have.
Coming Out Ecumenical Liturgy
Celebrating National Coming Out Day
Join us for a Coming Out Ecumenical Liturgy as we celebrate National Coming Out Day and honor the courage, authenticity, and dignity of LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones.
This special service will bring together people from across Christian traditions for a time of prayer, reflection, music, Scripture, and community. Together, we will give thanks for the ways people have found the courage to live authentically, remember those whose journeys have been difficult or whose voices have been silenced, and recommit ourselves to creating communities where every person is welcomed, affirmed, and loved.
Whether you are LGBTQ+, an ally, a family member, a friend, or simply seeking a community of faith and welcome, you are invited.
Come as you are. Bring your stories, your hopes, your questions, and your whole self.
All are welcome. Check out the event’s website for more information: https://uucf.jetpig.love/coming-out-service-2026/
Faith-in-Action is a collaborative community engagement ministry among local churches, nonprofit organizations, and the Fayetteville Police Department. Together, we gather in a specified location that has experienced a high police response rate to minister to the people in these areas. Holy Trinity offers Fresh Start bags to the unhoused and bags of canned groceries from the Food Pantry. This is a ministry of presence; we show up to love our neighbors and share God’s grace with them. For more information, please see Dave or Heidi Witty, Linda Smith, or Mother Nan.
Everyone is invited to join us on October 15th from 5 pm to 7 pm in the parking lot of Wal-Mart (1550 Skibo Rd.) to distribute Fresh Start bags, bags of groceries from the Food Pantry and share a smile.
