Bible Studies at Holy Trinity are based on current and relevant life challenges in this rapidly changing world. How can you be your authentic self, follow God’s calling to serve others with resources, confidence and compassion? Our study leaders prayerfully consider the topics and materials to help answer these questions. Together we grow spiritually stronger.

Confirmation Beginning Fall 2024
Grace Alone is a Confirmation curriculum that focuses on discussion and Bible study as listed in the description that "isn't stuck in the past." We will explore deeper topics that come up in daily decisions for students entering adulthood. The program and lessons include the Small Catechism, history, worship, and the church calendar, faith life, and a general understanding of our faith and our connection with the church. We will do all this at a pace that works for each person. We will have time to think and pray.
We are beginning a two-year program that is flexible and meets the needs we face with busy lives here in the 21st century. We have three students as of now with room for more.
- Are you middle or high school student wanting to begin confirmation classes here in the 21st century?
- Are you a middle or high school student wanting to explore your faith?
- Are you a middle or high school student desiring to know more about God's love for you?
- Give me a call and let's find a plan that works for you.
Feel free to call me directly at my cell and let's talk.
We're preparing for a great Fall season and more.
Yours in Christ, Pastor Scottie

CareNotes
CARENOTES –Take one and take heart. Give one and give hope.
You will notice a new rack in the Gathering Room filled with pamphlets. These pamphlets each speak to life issues that we all face. They are not superficial but have thought- provoking statements that can help us think about and deal with these issues.
- For example, the pamphlet on aging speaks of the stages of life in an interesting way.
- For the young, the purpose is growth, and the gift is possibility-the young give us hope.
- For the middle-aged, the purpose of life lies in generativity and the gift is responsibility-the middle-aged give us direction.
- The older generation looks beyond the stages of public action for experience and the gift of reflection. “What’s it all been about?”
Please take a moment to peruse the many different subjects these pamphlets tackle and take some to read and maybe share with others.
