Celebration Sundays
Eastertide, the fifty days of the Easter season, is traditionally a time of celebration. As we’ve been polishing up the calendar for mid-April to early June, we’ve noticed that there are several occasions that call out for us to come together in celebration. Recognizing that the Sunday Breakfast/Formation time is the most logical time to gather members of our 8:00 and 10:30 congregations, we have decided to use that time in the remainder of April and May to celebrate! 

We will honor, recognize and celebrate worship ministry volunteers, Canterbury students, mothers, graduating seniors, our beautiful grounds and gardens, those whose lives were cut short by war, and our lovely “Mother Church,” St. Paul’s. 

  • April 24: Behind the scenes tour of worship. Meet the Worship Support Teams who make our worship possible each week.
  • May 1: Canterbury Sunday. Our semi-annual tradition returns with a breakfast feast to honor our Canterbury students.
  • May 8: Mimosas for mom and Mother's Day Photo booth. Bring the whole family to get a great photo for Mom
  • May 15: Senior Sunday. Another breakfast feast and time to honor all of our Holy Trinity “kids” who are graduating this year!
  • May 22: Rogation Sunday. A traditional procession around the property to thank God for our beautiful grounds (and those who care for them) and to pray for bountiful harvests and fruitful ministries.
  • May 29: Hymn Sing. Gather in the Nave at 10:00 to sing those great national hymns.
  • June 5: Pentecost and Homecoming at St. Paul’s (no gathering between services, but a picnic will follow the 10:30 service at St. Paul’s)

Please note that these activities will replace the Study of the Book of Acts that had previously been planned for Eastertide.
Around the Parish
Circle of Welcome Several HT parishioners have responded to the call for volunteers to "circle around" the New American family who will be arriving in Clemson next week. We have been made aware of a need to supply groceries for this family for their first three weeks. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please bring grocery gift cards to church this weekend to drop in the collection plate. If you prefer to write a check, please make it payable to "Discretionary Fund" with Circle of Welcome in the memo line.

Need a Ride to Church? Don’t miss anything going on at Holy Trinity just because you don't have transportation. Call (864-654-5071) the church office or email them at htchurch@holytrinityclemson.org any weekday and the Pastoral Care team will see that you get there safe and sound the following Sunday.

We are still in need of volunteers to provide Wednesday night meals for our Canterbury students on the following dates: 4/20, and 5/4. Dinners are prepared every Wednesday and served at 6:15 in the Parish Hall. You can sign up here: https://bit.ly/3G1faOc if you would like to help.
