Jubilee Christmas - Elves Spotted!
Jubilee elves gathered this week to gear up for the 20 families slated to visit us on December 14th. The first order of business is to express appreciation for your generosity and support for the Jubilee Christmas ministry!
Mitten Tree
Look for the “mitten tree” to find a tag that describes one of our Jubilee children. This year we are trying a new way to give each child a special outfit.
If you pick up a tag, please sign the log sheet noting the family information and your contact information next to the tree.
More to Come!
Stay tuned for more news as the elves finish up discussions with our parents and how we can best help our neighbors through this longstanding Lafayette Urban Ministries (LUM) program.

You too can play the space fantasy Star Wars game “Escape from the Death Star”. Be the first to help Han, Chewie, Luke and Leia escape the garbage dump, disable the tractor beam, retrieve the blueprints, spin to fight against tie fighters, and reach the rebel base.
Party like it’s 1977 or play any one of our numerous games: Jenga, Life, Uno, Monopoly, Connect-4, Rummy, Sorry, and many more.
Check the ePistle newsletter for the next Game Night date, usually, the first Saturday of each month, held in the Lounge.
Fall 2024 Pastor's Bible Study
Take a journey through the Book of Acts with Pastor Gladys, Thursdays, at 11 A.M. in-person at the church or at 7 P.M. on Zoom.
Bible scholars agree that Luke wrote both the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles (See Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1).
The Book of Acts of the Apostles is “a history of transition from Judaism to Christianity: from the law to the age of grace, and from a purely Jewish and Jerusalem based community to a multinational community.” (DG, 2024).
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is in transition like most churches, organizations, and entities. Our generation has seen a significant shift in our societal and church culture. As a church, we will together decipher how to swim the waters to the other side of the “Jordan”.
Book Study
This Bible Study group meets Wednesdays at 12:30 P.M. with a ZOOM version of the class offered on the following Sunday evening at 7 P.M.
This week we are studying Chapter 4. Books are available.
Reading one short chapter a week, the book follows the liturgical year & goes for an entire year. In addition to the short chapter, there are 3 Bible passages to read.
This class was held last year. Some started during Lent 2024. Everyone is welcome even if you weren’t able to participate before.
The Wired Word
The Wired Word is a weekly Bible study curriculum that connects the Bible to current events, open to everyone, seventh grade and older.
The curriculum includes Bible verses, commentary, discussion questions, and reference materials, designed to help people:
- Relate the Bible to current events
- Extract hope from the news
- Encourage dialogue about how key verses apply to everyday life
The Wired Word lesson for Sunday, November 17, will discuss the news of two heroes and how God gives us the chance to redefine our lives and discover our worth, meaning, purpose and usefulness in the world.
Join us on Sundays, at 9 A.M. in room 106 on the first floor.
