Our study leaders prayerfully consider the topics and materials to help answer these questions. Together we grow spiritually stronger. Join us. Everyone is welcome! Currently we are meeting safely by Zoom. E-mail the group leaders, the church office or you are welcome to call the church (423-247-9106) for more information.

UPDATES
Our recent Souper Bowl for Hunger on Supper Bowl Sunday this year was a SUPPER success. We delivered 261 lbs. of food to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Kingsport.
A couple of our HTLC families participated in this years "Trashercise" where volunteers collected more than 1.3 tons of trash during 24th annual Riverview cleanup event.
Holy Week 2021 services at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church was a moving and connecting experience for all of our HTLC members and visitors! From a rainy, chilly Palm Sunday to a snowy Maundy Thursday parking lot service that culminated in a glorious, sunny, beautiful and moving Easter Sunday parking lot service with drive-thru Holy Communion. God's presence was felt strongly as we gathered outside of our beautiful church to glorify his Son's resurrection.
We celebrate our return to in-person worship services!

Drive-In Worship Service with Drive-thru Holy Communion Information
For those not yet ready to come back inside, the service will still be broadcast to the parking lot on FM 99.7 and drive-thru communion will still be offered each Sunday. The main difference is that drive-thru communion will occur at the same time the Meal is distributed in the sanctuary, not after the benediction. We encourage you to remain for the completion of the service after communing.
All parking lot worshippers are asked to park in the grass lot across the street so the number of elements needed can be prepared for the drive-thru communicants. A video of the service will continue to be available on-line on the following Monday.
