The Egyptian Revolution
Posted: March 8th, 2011
The Rev. Drew Schmotzer is an American who serves as the chaplain and secretary to the Anglican Archbishop of the Middle East, Dr. Mouneer Anis. In his latest newsletter he gives a first hand account of life in Cairo, and sheds a unique perspective on the challenges now facing the people of Egypt:
“I have seen young people on the streets cleaning it, painting it, picking up trash, painting trees in National colors (red, white, black) and doing other acts of charity. These are Christians and Muslims together. However, in the past few days, I have seen monasteries attacked, a church burned down, mini-bus drivers shot by police because they won’t pay the “protection money,” etc… It is still unsafe, but it is still safe.”

Just Walk Across the Room
Posted: February 23rd, 2011
What if twenty steps across a room could change your friend’s future forever?
In his book, Just Walk Across the Room, Pastor Bill Hybels describes how taking a few steps and an interest in someone standing across the room can wind up impacting eternity.
Join us for an experience that will refresh your appreciation for the Holy Spirit’s mysterious ways, rekindle your passion for people, and revive your belief that the single greatest gift you can give to your friends and family members is an introduction to the God who created them, loves them, and has a purpose for their lives.
You’ll learn how to:
- Develop friendships with people far from God
- Discover the stories behind their life’s journey
- Discern what “next steps” will help point them to faith
Just Walk Across the Room: will change your mind about evangelism.
Pointing people to faith is something all of us can do.
This Lenten small group is being led by Ron Darling, and will meet Sunday nights at 6pm at the Diebold’s home.
Interested in joining in? You can sign up today or contact Ron for more details at: rondarling47@yahoo.com or 269-206-2515.

Financial Peace University
Posted: January 5th, 2011
What is it?
Financial Peace University is a 13 week class that can help you stabilize your financial future. The course was pioneered by Dave Ramsey, a financial advisor and New York Times best-selling author (you can see for yourself here). At Holy Trinity each class session begins with a 60 minute video presentation, followed by discussion.
Is There a Cost?
Yes, to take the class you will need Dave Ramsey’s Membership kit. The cost for the Membership kit is $100, and includes: the workbook, an online membership materials, the envelope system, a hard-cover book, and audio CD’s. If you decide to take the class, the class coordinator will order your membership kit, and it will be ready for you at the first session.
How Do I Pre-Register?
It doesn’t cost anything to pre-register. There is a ‘rolling’ pre-registration process for this class, which means that once enough people have expressed an interest we work out the date, time, and location to fit with everyone’s schedule. We estimate that a new class will start up in late February. There is no cost or commitment to pre-register (it just keeps you in the loop).
You can pre-register here:
For more details you can call 269-214-2979 or send us an email at holytrinitysh@gmail.com.

Alpha Program
Posted: November 21st, 2010
The Alpha program is a great way to learn about God.
This 12 week course starts with the most basic questions of faith, and then expands to cover a variety of topics including prayer, suffering, healing, and spiritual gifts.
Meeting for 60-90 minutes once a week, the group watches a video presentation and then discusses the topic of the week in an open atmosphere where there are no stupid questions.
If you’d like to be kept informed about when the next class will begin, or if you have questions about the program, you can email Fr. Andrew at frandrewgross@gmail.com.

New Website
Posted: November 21st, 2010
Hello All, welcome to the new website. We will be adding new content each week, and taking some of the best stuff from our old website and transferring it over, but here’s a brief overview:
I’m most excited about the page titled “The Latest”. The content on this page is split into two sections. On the left hand side of the page is “Food for the Soul.” If you need a ‘pick me up’ during the week, this might just give you something thoughtful to get you through the day. It will have a weekly quote, YouTube content, and eventually other content that you might find useful.
On the right hand side of the page you will find “The Week at a Glance.” On this page is a list of the latest news, and a built in calendar that shows the details for events at Holy Trinity.
Other pages on the site are geared towards visitors, but go ahead and take a look around.
