Holy Trinity’s next opportunity to cook and serve breakfast for our friends at First English is Sunday, August 27. We will meet at Holy Trinity at 7:30 am and caravan to First English. With the new sit-down service, the more the merrier. No special training or fancy attire is necessary! Even if people just want to come between 9:15-9:30 to have breakfast and conversation with the FELC community, that is appreciated. There are 14 tables and it would be great to have a member from Holy Trinity at many of them. We are usually finished and back by 10:45-11 am. As always, we welcome fresh fruit such as grapes, melon, cantaloupe, berries, and even apples now since we are chopping and making fruit salad are welcome. Leave them in the kitchen or refrigerator marked for First English. Please sign up at the Collection & Signup Corner in the Gathering Place, mark the All Good Gifts card Ministry Opportunity B or let Becky Warnement know if you can help.

First English Lutheran Church is in need of high chairs as more and more mothers and babies are attending their Thursday night dinners. If you or someone you know is ready to get rid of a high chair, please contact Becky Warnement.

Dear Friends at Holy Trinity, Here’s a note from a child who experienced and learned more about “The Water of Life” thanks to your financial support!

Thank you for allowing me to have an awesome week at camp. I got to go on trail rides with horses and we got to see cool water animals on our creek walk. Thank you for letting me have an amazing week. Love, Bridget

Holy Trinity’s High School youth group is once again embarking on a mission trip to grow in faith, service and grace. This year we will be heading up to Grand Rapids, Michigan with Group Mission Trips where we will be given a chance to serve community residents in need through home repair, basic construction, and painting. The youth will build relationships with their crew and those they serve. Waking up at 6:45 in the morning, our youth will be on the move till 11:00 at night. Though much of our day will include service projects in various neighborhoods, we will be making time for worship and fellowship with other youth groups from around the country.

Please keep us all in your prayers this week: prayers for safe travel, safety at the work sites, and for God’s love to impact every one of us through Christ and the people we meet. See you in a week!

Holy Trinity’s Beacons are collecting Kits, Soap, Blankets, and Quilts this summer for Lutheran World Relief.  Please consider contributing by gathering items and putting the kits together too. Lists for what is needed and how to put it together are at the Collection & Signup Corner in the Gathering Place. Empty shoe boxes for packing soap would also be appreciated.  Join us in helping those in need near and far.  Collection bins for your kits are provided under the sign up table. Items will be packed for forwarding at each Beacons meeting through October 2nd.  Thanks.

Many thanks to everyone that contributed goodies for Holy Trinity’s 4^th of July hospitality table during the Upper Arlington parade. More than $400 was received in freewill donations for a local charitable cause. Thanks, too, to Minister of Music Joshua Brodbeck for playing a rousing round of patriotic music in keeping with the theme of the day.
