10/2/22 Weekly Congregational Email
Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,
Some things to pass along to you this week:
- The October Messenger was mailed out this afternoon.
- Sunday, I will be preaching on the Second Reading, 2 Timothy 1:1-14, as we take a look at Timothy and his life of faith and what we can learn from him. In preparation for this message, it will be helpful for you to explore Timothy on your computer or phone. This will not take much time.
- As of right now, we will still have our Blessing of the Animals Sunday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. in the back packing lot. I am keeping an eye on the predicted weather that is coming our way. Late Sunday afternoon should be clear. If the weather changes and we need to postpone this event, I will let you know Sunday during the announcements and with a brief email. This is an informal time together with the animals we love. This service will take about 20 minutes and I hope you will bring your pets out for a blessing. For those smaller pets or those that do not do well with other animals, you may choose to leave them in your vehicle during the service and I will come over to them. What animals can you bring? As I like to put it, “If you can place it in your vehicle, I will bless it.”
- We are looking for one more volunteer to assist Dave Korn and me in a monthly rotation of replacing the sanctuary candle and inspecting the fire extinguishers on the church property. What is involved? For your assigned month, you would be responsible for changing the sanctuary candle (the one hanging down near the altar) each week, using a 3-foot step ladder, and once a month you would need to inspect all 13 fire extinguishers in the buildings. The candle replacing takes about 5 minutes each week and the inspections of the fire extinguishers will take about 15-20 minutes each month. If you are interested in serving the Lord in this way, please speak with me or reply to this email. If you need more info, let me know.
In Christ,
Pastor Fischer
