10/19/25 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

  • We were blessed to have Jeff and Roz Eckardt return to worship with us this past Sunday at the Late Service.

  • You will recall that last week I asked if you had any suggestions for a handyman.  I received two responses that I share with you:
    • Barry Kerringan 216-262-2768
    • Scott Moss, one of our members, 432-878-8104 (Scott is only available to help on Tuesday afternoons)

  • On Saturday of this week, the Crafty Ladies group will meet from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM in Fellowship Hall.

  • By now, every family in the congregation should have received their Stewardship Packet.  They were given out this passed Sunday and then on Monday we mailed the remainder to the congregation.  Please prayerfully considered how you will participate and support the ministry we do together in the Lord’s name at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in 2026.  Inside your packet is a Time/Talent/Treasure brochure.  This is the time to indicate the dates you would like to place flowers on the altar, volunteer to serve on a committee, serve on the Altar Guild, and as worship assistants (to name just a few opportunities).  On Sunday, and then again on October 26, as part of the offering, a wicker basket will be passed around for you to return your Time/Talent/Treasure sheets, and we will ask God’s blessings upon these commitments.  Or, if you wish, you can mail them back to the church office.

  • On Sunday, you are invited to wear something with the color of pink as part of our Breast Cancer Awareness Sunday.

  • After each worship service the Trick-Or-Treat-So-Others-May-Eat bags will be passed out. If you will not be here Sunday, we will place a few bags in the narthex for you to pick up during the week, if you would like to participate in this food drive for AIM.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the First Reading of Genesis 32:22-31, as we look at the story of Jacob wrestling with a man (or is it an angel?). We will be taking a deeper look at those times in our lives when we wrestle with God and the blessings that can result.

  • We keep in our prayers:
    • Marisa Adrian – upon her recent styloid surgery
    • Dave Rasche – who was moved this afternoon to AnMed Rehab (room 200)

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
