You are Invited to Worship
This weekend we celebrate Pentecost.  The Adult Choir will sing and the Brass Ensemble will play at 8:30 and 10:00 am on Sunday. 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
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.
Annual Meeting on Sunday
The Annual Meeting of the Congregation will be held immediately following the 10:00 am service on Sunday, May 20. Following the meeting, all are invited to a chili fundraiser lunch to benefit the middle school mission trip.
Thank You!
A huge thank you to all who helped with the pickup, delivery and sorting of food during the Postal Service “Stamp Out Hunger” drive. Your help was very much appreciated, and with so many helping hands, the work was done fast and efficiently. Thank you for serving the Lord and our neighbors in this way!

Nursery is on the Move!
To make a space that better fits our growing preschool, the nursery will move from its current location to a similar location on the north side of the church. The nursery will continue to be staffed during Sunday and Wednesday worship services; only the location will be changing. You can contact Kelly Heuton with any questions. 
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.
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 .
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.
