You are Invited to Worship
This weekend we celebrate The Holy Trinity.  All worship services will include Holy Communion.

Come and worship:
  • Saturday at 5:30 pm
  • Sunday at 8:30 and 10:00 am
  • Wednesday at 6:00 pm
Worship on Wednesdays
Wednesday Night Worship continues this summer at 6:00 pm. If you aren’t able to worship on a weekend, consider attending on Wednesday instead. The services are complete with Holy Communion and offer mid-week rest. They are a good complement to weekend worship.
Pastor Tim on Sabbatical
Pastor Tim will be on sabbatical from June 4 through September 3. This means he will be “on-leave” from his duties at HTLC, taking time to read, write, retreat, rest, and recharge so he can come back ready to begin another seven years! He will not be checking email or voice mail during that time. Pastor Pam will be leading the staff in his absence. We wish him well during his time of rest, study, and writing.
Help with Love Lunches
Meals for kids and families who could use a hot lunch will be served at Holy Trinity on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the summer. We need volunteers to help cook at the Methodist Church, deliver the food to HTLC, serve, and provide activities for the kids. If you are willing to help, sign up online here or contact Karen Bush at 515-979-4333.
Vacation Bible School 2018
Vacation Bible School and Hands and Feet will be held July 9-13 this summer. Check out the table by the Red Wall for more information. We’ve put out a wish tree filled with items we’ll be needing for VBS. If you’d like to like to help us out, you can take a tag off the tree and return the item to the blue bin by June 10. Sign up to attend or to volunteer on the church website. 
Sign Up for Dessert for Eight
Join a  Dessert for Eight Group  and enjoy dessert at a restaurant with a group of members from HTLC. Each person is expected to pay for their own food at a restaurant. The important part of the gathering is to meet and connect with others. Your group will meet once a month for four months starting in June.  Sign up online  or in the Narthex  by May 31 .
Journey Through Grief
UnityPoint Hospice and St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Urbandale are hosting a grief support group.  Over six sessions, learn about how you grieve, discover coping tools for dealing with loss and change, and develop a new support network. The group meets the second Thursday of each month at 5:30 pm, June through November. Learn more here.
Nursery has Moved!
To make a space that better fits our growing preschool, the nursery has moved to the hallway on the north side of the church (the preschool hallway). The nursery will continue to be staffed during Sunday and Wednesday worship services; only the location has changed. You can contact Kelly Heuton with any questions.
