A New Class: You’re Not Alone
Weekly beginning February 8th to March 22nd
12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall
So many of us are carrying more than we ever expected to—grief, loss, disappointment, questions, or quiet ache. In the midst of all that, we want you to know: you are not alone.
This class offers a compassionate, grace-filled space for anyone walking through grief, holding long-standing sorrow, or simply wanting to better understand grief and how to care for others. Together, we’ll listen, learn, and reflect in a safe and supportive community.
Come just as you are. There’s no pressure to share, no fixing required—only honest conversation, practical wisdom, and the steady hope we find when we walk together.
Let’s Plan the Garden!
February 8th, | 3:00 – 4:00 PM

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or simply curious to learn more, your ideas and participation are welcome. Join us for a casual Zoom get-together as we talk about what we’ll plant, how we’ll share the work, and how the garden will support our food pantry.
All the vegetables we grow are donated, so every idea helps us make a bigger impact.
No gardening experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe your favorite veggie ideas!).

Ash Wednesday: Come and Begin
February 18th
Noon or 7 p.m.
Ash Wednesday invites us to step out of the noise and into a holy pause. As Lent begins, we gather to remember that we are human, dust and breath, and deeply loved by God. In the service, those who wish may receive ashes on the forehead, marked with a cross—an ancient sign of both our limits and God’s mercy.
You do not need to believe the right things or know the right words. Simply come.
Come with your questions, your hope, your heaviness, or your curiosity. This season begins with grace, and there is a place for you here.
Children’s Ash Wednesday: A Holy Evening for All Ages
Wednesday, Feb. 18 \ 5:30 p.m.Parish Hall
Together we’ll explore the meaning of Ash Wednesday in an age-appropriate way through simple teaching, hands-on crafts, and the imposition of ashes. We’ll also share a family-friendly dinner as part of our time together.
This evening is designed especially for children, but parents and caregivers are encouraged to stay and participate. Come begin the season of Lent as a community—reflecting, creating, and sharing a meal together. RSVP by clicking the button below.
What is Lent?
Lent is a season in the church year—a time of about 40 days (not counting Sundays) leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the night before Easter Sunday. Lent is a time when Episcopalians and many other Christians focus on spiritual growth, reflection, and preparation for the celebration of Easter, when we remember Jesus’ resurrection.
Why 40 days?
The 40 days remind us of the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, where he fasted, prayed, and faced challenges. It’s a time for us to reflect on our own lives and deepen our relationship with God.
The Spirit of Lent:
Lent is meant to be a solemn season—reflecting on our frailness as humans, it’s also a hopeful time of turning back to God, of reflection, repentance, and renewal. It prepares us to celebrate Easter with joy, having taken time to grow closer to God and to consider how we live our faith in daily life.
How do Episcopalians observe Lent?
Lent is often observed through:
Prayer: Spending extra time talking with God, reading Scripture, and meditating.
Fasting or giving something up: Some people choose to give up certain luxuries or habits as a way to focus more on God. Others may add a spiritual practice instead, like volunteering or daily devotionals.
Worship: Attending special services, including Ash Wednesday and Holy Week observances. We take away all “Alleluias” from our worship.
At Holy Trinity
This year, Holy Trinity will mark Lent by shifting our worship language to Rite I (Elizabethan vibe). At 10:30, we will chant the psalm and the opening to the Eucharistic prayer. This offers us the opportunity to experience our worship tradition roots and how language impacts our weekly worship style and mood. We will also be offering other events tthroughout Lenten to help you experience the full breadth of Episcopal Church worship. Please stay tuned for more details.
MILITARY SOCIAL HOUR
Last Thursday of each month
1730-1930
District House of Taps | 1240 Ft. Bragg Rd
Join us for a laid-back evening that’s all about good vibes! We’ll crack open some cold brews, share laughs, and chat about everything from the latest binge-worthy shows to the quirkiest stories from life in the military. Plus, we’ll dig into some delicious food together! This monthly hangout is open to everyone connected to the military and to anyone who wants to show support for our active-duty members, veterans, and their families.
Bring your stories and your appetite—let's make some great memories together! Cheers!
March 2026
FORMATION INVITATION!
We're creating a welcoming space for anyone exploring what it means to be Episcopal -- whether you're brand new, rediscovering faith after years away, or have been in the pews (or chairs) for decades but still have questions.
Episcopal 101: A Monthly Formation Conversation
Starting February 1 | First Sundays* at 9:00am | Parish Hall
*Easter is the first Sunday of April, so this one may be moved.
What to Expect:
This isn't a lecture series or a class where you'll fall behind if you miss a week. Think of it as a monthly gathering where honest questions are welcomed, diverse experiences are valued, and curiosity leads the way.
The Format:
We'll use a "fishbowl" conversation style. Clergy and guests will begin with a live discussion on the topic while you listen in. Then the floor opens to everyone -- your questions, reflections, and insights shape where the conversation goes. Over time, we'll invite participants with different backgrounds and perspectives into the fishbowl to share what they're wondering about.
Who Should Come?
Newcomers exploring the Episcopal tradition for the first time
Long-time Episcopalians with questions you've never felt comfortable asking
Anyone curious about Christianity but uncertain where you fit
Those considering baptism, confirmation, or reception
People carrying mixed or complicated experiences with church
Anyone wondering what faith might look like in this season of life
You belong here if you're asking questions, seeking understanding, or simply listening.
What We'll Explore:
Throughout the year, we'll prayerfully engage topics like:
Episcopal church basics – What makes us Episcopalian?
Scripture, tradition, and reason – How we understand faith and authority
Baptism, Eucharist, and common life – The sacraments and rhythms of the church
Church structure and leadership – How decisions are made and who leads
The liturgical year – Seasons, feasts, and saints that shape our worship
Big-picture theology – Core beliefs and how we hold them together
We want to hear your questions too. What are you wrestling with? Confused by? Longing to understand better? You can submit questions in advance -- by topic or anonymously -- and we'll weave them into upcoming sessions.
Come As You Are
Come once. Come every month. Come quietly and just listen. Bring your curiosity, your doubts, your hopes, or simply yourself.
Prayer, curiosity, and honest conversation are all you need to begin.
Questions? Want to submit a topic in advance? Comment here or email the church!
If you are involved with Sunday School, Youth, or a Vestry Member, please check your inboxes for an invitation to begin your safe church training. Invitations to other ministry volunteers will be sent out in August.
The Stewardship Committee focuses on the creation, care, and connection of God's gifts to our parish. This includes creating sustainability by identifying parishioners' spiritual gifts, connecting people and ministries, and educating them about financial giving. If interested, please call the office at (910)484-2134 or email admin@htechurch.org.
