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.

season of advent
The seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany will be a continuous spiritual journey this year, focusing on actions we can take as we move through the night to the hope for tomorrow. Each week will have a theme that supports that week’s assigned Scripture readings. On Sunday, January 3, 2027, parishioners will be invited to pick a star with a random word on it to pray over and focus on throughout 2027.
As in past years, please join Mother Nan through her blog, Inner Altar, as she reflects on an intentional word each day throughout the Advent season. You can connect to her blog by clicking here or through the Holy Trinity website.
December 2026
Holiday Magic + Live Music + Sweet Tea’s Signature Warmth
Journey with us through an evening of reflection, music, and storytelling with Behold, an intimate concert that blends stirring melodies and meaningful narratives. Running December 3-5, 2026, at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church.
At the heart of Behold is a celebration of music and story that explores the themes of anticipation, wonder, and connection. With selections from Andrew Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God, the Oh Hellos, and a mix of new music from the singer-songwriter tradition, Behold weaves together a thoughtful experience that is both introspective and uplifting. Whether you’re seeking solace, reflection, or simply beautiful music, Behold offers something for everyone as we embrace the spirit of the season.
Holiday Market
A community event supporting the Holy Trinity Food Pantry. The Holiday Market runs from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday, Dec. 5th at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church and features local sellers offering high-quality, handcrafted items, holiday treats, and holiday trees and wreaths for sale. Rumor has it that old Saint Nick might be strolling around.
Annual Parish Business Meeting
Sunday, December 6th, following the 10:30 a.m. liturgy.
Everyone is welcome to join us for our Annual Parish Business Meeting! This is a once-a-year gathering where we take a look back at the past year’s ministries, celebrate what God has done in our community, and look ahead to the coming year.
We’ll hear updates from church leaders, review the parish budget, and elect members to serve on the Vestry—the group of parishioners who help guide the mission and practical life of the church.
Even if you’re new to the Episcopal Church, this is a great way to learn more about how our parish works and to meet others who help lead and serve. Please plan to stay after the service for this important and welcoming event.
Christmas Pageant Rehearsal Party
This is one of our favorite traditions at Holy Trinity. All children and youth are invited to participate in our annual Christmas Pageant on Sunday, Dec. 13th, during the 10:30 a.m. liturgy.
Rehearsal will be held on Saturday, Dec. 12th, beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the worship space. After rehearsal, we will gather for a pizza lunch, story time with St. Nick, and decorate the 25 ft Christmas tree that fills the narthex.
The event ends at noon. If you have children visiting from out of town, please bring them along so they can join the fun.
A Joyful Change for Our Children’s Christmas Pageant
This Christmas season, we want every child to have the chance to share the wonder and joy of Jesus’ birth. To make that possible, our annual Children’s Christmas Pageant will take place on Sunday, December 13th, during the 10:30 liturgy.
By celebrating a little earlier, we hope to include more families before holiday travels begin—and to give our children the opportunity to lift their voices and hearts together in telling the story of God’s love coming into the world.
Join us on Sunday, December 13th, as our children remind us of the true meaning of Christmas: the light that shines in the darkness and the joy that fills every heart.
Let’s gather as a church community to celebrate this beautiful tradition—now on December 13th!
If you are involved with Sunday School, Youth, or a Vestry Member, please check your inboxes for an invitation to begin your safe church training. Invitations to other ministry volunteers will be sent out in August.
The Stewardship Committee focuses on the creation, care, and connection of God's gifts to our parish.
