02/26/23 Weekly Congregational update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Here are this week’s updates:

  • On Tuesday, earlier this week, 70+ members of our congregation joined others for a wonderful afternoon/evening at our Community Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper.  Some photos of this event will be in our next newsletter.

  • This coming Sunday I will be preaching on handling temptation, based on the Gospel text, “Matthew 4:1-11.”

  • Don’t forget that we are collecting the following items as part of our Share A Hug In A Mug! Outreach ministry to HOPE Missions of the Update.  Make sure and check out their website!
    • Ground Coffee (like Maxwell House or Folgers)
    • 4 lb. bags of sugar
    • Powder Non-Dairy Creamer
    • These items can be dropped off at the church in the room off the narthex, where a big bin and table have been set up for this purpose.  The electronic door code to the front door of the church is still not working so you will need to enter one of the side doors (like the ramp door) using the door code. The last day to drop off donations is Sunday, March 5.

  • Monday evening the LMM will gather for a supper meeting at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

  • On Wednesday, March 1 we will begin our Lenten Suppers (6:00 p.m.) and Lenten worship services (7:00 p.m.).  Each week the meal will be provided by different groups within the congregation.  A free-will offering will be received. As for the worship services, we will begin a series on “The Seven Last Words of Christ.”  I will be preaching on Luke 23:32-34 as we explore the first statement of Jesus from the cross, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” said while the Roman soldiers were pounding the nails into his hands and feet.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
