10/17/21 Weekly Congregational Updates
Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,
Here are this week’s “greatests” to pass along to you:
- We continue to receive new members into our congregation. This Sunday, at the Late Service, we are excited to be receiving the following new folks:
- Barbara Thomas
- Jeremy, Mary, Brady, and Gracie West
- John and Barbara Trent
- Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel reading, Mark 10:35-45, as we explore the disciples’ request to sit near Jesus in the Kingdom to come. Some things to ponder:
- Do you normally sit in the same pew each Sunday?
- If so, why?
- Why are James and John referred to as, “Sons of Thunder?” – see Mark 3:17
- Also read Luke 9:54-55, as a possible reason.
- What does it mean for us to be “servants of the Lord”?
- How does our use of Time and Talent sheets connect with this idea?
- We keep Amy Goodson in our prayers as she recovers from knee replacement surgery. She will be returning home this afternoon.
- We keep Marion Howell in our prayers after almost a week of hospital stay. She was moved to Brookdale earlier this afternoon.
- We keep Joshua Fischer in our prayers after surgery for a deviated septum on Wednesday.
In Christ,
Pastor Fischer
