The 40 day season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 18
During the season of Lent many Christians turn their attention to fasting, prayer, and almsgiving—activities meant to quiet our minds, still our hearts, and allow us to draw near to God. On Ash Wednesday we hear the words “You are dust and to dust you shall return,” and so it is. We recognize the frailty of human existence, the reality of our personal and corporate sin, and our deep need for Jesus, who forgives our sin and gifts us with eternal life. We receive ashes as a sign of our repentance. We turn back to God with a resolve to live faithfully as God’s people, redeemed by Jesus Christ for the sake of the world.
We will be hosting two special services for the Imposition of Ashes on Wednesday, Feb. 18:
Imposition of Ashes, Noon
HTLC Chapel
Led by Rev. John Gitau
Bristol Trinity Episcopal Church
Imposition of Ashes, 7PM
HTLC Sanctuary
Led by Deacon Susan Lindberg Haley
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

Holy Trinity kicks off its 10th anniversary year as a Reconciling in Christ Congregation
In keeping with our mission statement that challenges us to “follow the example of Jesus, acting boldly to build community with diverse people,” Holy Trinity once again observed Reconciling in Christ Sunday on the first Sunday in February, February 1. Our worship service focused on the theme Celebrating Diversity as God’s Children.
2026 is a milestone year for Holy Trinity, marking the the 10th anniversary of the congregation’s commitment to the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Program. Following an extensive period of conversation and dialogue during the summer and fall of 2016, the congregation voted overwhelmingly to expressly affirm its commitment to welcoming all people into full partnership with our ministries.
Since 1983, the RIC Program has been a public way for faith communities to see, name, celebrate, and advocate for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions in the Lutheran church. In 2021, the organization expressly added a call to racial equity and antiracism to its messaging. Reconciling in Christ is sponsored by ReconcilingWorks: Lutherans for Full Participation.

Holy Trinity seeks to call its next pastor
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in North Easton, MA, is seeking a full-time Pastor to lead our small, faithful, intentionally inclusive congregation into its next chapter of ministry. Rooted in the gospel and energized by a spirit of hospitality, justice, and care for creation, we seek a pastor who will partner with us as we follow Jesus boldly in a changing world.
