Celebrate the many ministries of GHTC at the 2023 Parish Ministry Fair.

Parish Ministry Fair – Sunday, September 17

On Sunday, September 17th, after the 10:30 a.m. service, we will celebrate and renew our commitment to the many ministries of Grace & Holy Trinity Church. Ministry leaders will be available at tables around the Parish Hall where they will explain what they do and encourage new volunteers to participate. Food will be provided, including assorted sandwiches for all from Cuisine a la Carte. GHTC is offering additions to the fair geared toward youth and community engagement. Please read the descriptions for the highlights “Youth are Highly Encouraged to Participate at the Parish Ministry Fair” and “Donate Your Time & Talents to the Parish Ministry Fair” for more information.

Youth are Highly Encouraged to Participate at the Parish Ministry Fair
Youth are invited to come to the Parish Ministry Fair to find out more about GHTC’s service to our community. Each youth will receive a passport when they enter the fair. Once they have found out about five ministries and gotten the ministry leader’s initials on their passport, they will receive a small token of GHTC’s appreciation.

Youth are always welcome to participate in any activity at GHTC and can, of course, sign up to participate during the fair. We also realize how busy their lives are so the passport’s objective is not to add one more thing to their overflowing plates. It’s to help them know more about GHTC’s ministries.

Donate Your Time & Talents to the Parish Ministry Fair
(Deadline to Donate “Time & Talent” – Monday, September 11, 2023)
This year’s Parish Ministry Fair will include the first “Time & Talent Drawing,” where every five minutes vestry members will draw two lucky winners from fair attendees. Winners will get to choose from a variety of exciting donations of fellow parishioners’ time and talents including a ride in a Model T, a workshop on how to record a digital interview,  guitar lessons, and many more. Could you offer a one-hour golf or fishing lesson? Cook a dish? Mow a lawn? Sing or play a few songs for a small group? Ministry Fair coordinators Cathy Saunders and Mary Ann Blankenship are still seeking donations of time and talent. If you are interested  in offering up your time and talent for the drawing, please contact Mary Ann Blankenship by September 11th.
