Trick-or-Treat So Others May Eat
Trick -or-Treat So Others May Eat — The youth will meet after the Late Service on October 23rd and head to Subway for lunch and then go to the neighborhoods to distribute the bags. We will once again have bags available for the congregation to make donations. You may pick up your bag on the 23rd and bring it back on the 30th filled with food items and place them in the narthex. Then on October 30th, the youth will join in the potluck meal after the worship service and return to the neighborhoods to pick up the filled bags. We will need some vehicles to help with the pick-up. If you are able to help, please see Amy Goodson

Deutsches Fest
Thanks to all for making the Deutsches Fest a great success
We had 145 people attend our 3rd annual Deutsches Fest
All proceeds will go to the facilities improvement fund.
Our next Deutschesfest will be October 21 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. The money raised will go toward the HTLC Youth Group to help defray their costs to attend the National Youth Gathering in Houston, Texas in 2018.
Good News Club
Good News Club
Our group meets at Concord Elementary every Tuesday during the school year.
Won’t you consider helping out on Tuesdays during the School year from 2:00-4:00 PM? The group provides refreshments for the kids along with a video lesson. We could use all volunteers, but really could use some more “male” role models!
On June 11, 2001, the US Supreme Court decision in Good News Clubs vs. Milford Central School ruled that equal treatment of religious speakers is not endorsement of religion_ This equal access decision opened the doors for after-school religious clubs through which the Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF} has initiated News Clubs in public schools in every state in the US and around the world.
Good News clubs are sponsored by local churches and coordinated by CEF. They meet for 1 1/2 hour once a week after school in school buildings and every school in Anderson County had a Good News Club sponsor last year.
In the partnership between CEF and Holy Trinity, CEF will train all our volunteers, provide teaching materials, background screening, full-time staff support and liabiliry insurance. Holy Trinity will purchase teaching materials, and provide the volunteers.
The Holy Trinity/Concord Good News Club will start on Tuesday, September 20th and provides an amazing opportunity to share the Good News with 50-60 children weekly.!
Please prayerfully consider participating in this amazing opportunity to not only be -Salt and Light- by reflecting God’s love to our community, but to actually share the source of that love by introducing our “lambs”.

The Children’s Choir (Ages 4 – 10) rehearses on Sunday Morning between 9:45 and 10:15
The Chancel Choir (Adults) Early Service – rehearses after the early service on Sunday morning at 9:45 in the Choir room
