10/12/25 Weekly Congregational Update

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Here are this week’s updates to pass along to you:

  • “How did we do at this year’s Deutsches Fest?,” you ask.  It was our largest gathering and the largest amount of money yet we ever collected! We were able to give Meals on Wheels of Anderson a check for $2,529.00!

  • “How did the Blessing of the Animals go this past Sunday afternoon?” you ask.  We had 18 people, 11 dogs, 2 cats and 2 Guinea Pigs attend.  Watch for this event again next year.

  • Holy Trinity was recently recognized in United Way’s October newsletter for our recent food donations to our Anderson County middle and high school food pantries. Thank you again for your generous involvement in our outreach ministries!

  • If you have someone you recommend as a “Handyman,” please send me a REPLY with that information and I will share it with the congregation. In the last several weeks, I have received several requests from those in our congregation, seeking help with small repair jobs around the house.

  • This week we had a large limb fall from a pecan tree in the back yard of the Luther House and hang precariously over our playground fence.  We are very grateful to Steve Cantrell Tree Service for taking care of this for us at no charge.  If you need a tree cut at your house, give Steve a call @ 864-314-2120.

  • Even though we are in the month of October, my sermon message Sunday will be about having a thankful heart, based on the gospel reading, Luke 17:11-19.

  • The 4th “How To Give Your Faith Away” workshop will take place Sunday evening, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Pairs and Spares Room.  This workshop will be led by Jane Cahaly.

  • On Thursday evening of next week, the Luther’s Ladies Circle will gather for their monthly meeting.  Please note that this will take place in the Pairs and Spares Room.

  • We keep in our prayers:
    • Dave Rasche, who continues his stay at AnMed
    • Jane Potter, upon recent surgery

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
