Christmas At Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity will once again provide the Christmas Day meal for Clemson Meals on Wheels. We need volunteers to sign up to prepare a part of the meal and drop it off at the church for a team to pack the individual servings on Christmas morning. These items can be dropped off at the parish hall on Christmas Eve between 2:00 - 4:00 PM or on Christmas Day at 9:00 AM. If you have any questions, please contact Beth Kunkel at 864-320-3033 or bkunkel@clemson.edu. Click HERE TO SIGN UP to cook a portion of the meal.

If you would like to contribute toward special Christmas music and flowers please email Sheryl at htchurch@holytrinityclemson.org and include the following information: your name and the name of person in honor of, memory of, or thanksgiving for. Send in your check with "Christmas music or flowers" in the memo line. 

Help us tell the story of Christmas! Children of all ages are invited to the Family Eucharist on December 24 at 4pm. During the reading of the Christmas story, we will build the nativity scene, but we need to do it together! If your child would like to carry a figure from the nativity scene, join us in the narthex at 3:45pm before the service to pick it up. No rehearsal or costumes required. Please be in touch with Jerare Wallace with questions.
Serving Others
Since we are preparing Christmas Dinner again for Meals on Wheels this year, we can also prepare and deliver meals to parishoners. Please contact the church office by noon on 12/23 if you would like to receive Christmas dinner this year.
---------------------
If you feel called to help those affected by the tornados in Kentucky and elsewhere, there are two great resources to direct you. As always, Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with responders and other partners to provide relief where it's most needed. The Diocese of Kentucky was also greatly affected and staff are working to respond to the needs of congregations and communities there. Financial support is what is most needed right now; please give generously at episcopalrelief.org or episcopalky.org
Children, Youth and Families
Nursery care returns in 2022! Nursery for children ages 0-4 will be available during the 9:30 Sunday school hour and during the school year and during the 10:30 service year-round. Drop-off begins at 9:15 each week. If you have questions, please contact Jerae Wallace.

Youth group Sunday at 6pm: Join us for a fun progressive dinner and gift exchange. Please bring a wrapped gift ($10 limit). Parents may drop off at the Purkersons and pick up at the Wallaces by 8pm. Please let Jerae Wallace or Bill Purkerson know if you plan to attend.
Giving Back This Season
Help support our ministry partners in Haiti and get a gift for that hard-to-shop-for person on your list all at once! Perhaps the best quality and certainly best tasting fresh coffee available anywhere in the Upstate is Singing Rooster fair-trade Haitian Mountain Blue, grown on the volcanic mountainsides in rural Haiti and currently being harvested in the villages of Bois Joli and Morne Michel. High quality and exceptional taste are their hallmark. Seventy percent of the proceeds go directly back to Haiti: of every $10 of coffee sold, $4 goes directly back to the farmers and $3 goes to support university students from Cange, while only $3 goes toward processing, shipping and handling. Order gourmet French or Vienna roast, caffeinated or decaf, ground or whole bean. To purchase, contact Harry Morse at 864-314-9996 (phone or text) or hgmorse@gmail.com.

Gifts for Life: Give a gift with lasting impact through Episcopal Relief & Development. Pick up your Gifts for Life catalog and cards today in the narthex or go to episcopalrelief.org/gifts to order online.
