9/21/25 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Here are this week’s updates:

  • Thank you so much for your generosity!  Last week, we as a congregation, gave the Gideons $1,236.00, which will buy many Bibles for them to distribute. 
  • The new October-November-December issue of the Christ in Our Home devotionals are now ready to be picked up from the narthex. 
  • Like many of you have done, earlier this week, I underwent skin cancer surgery.  I tell you this so that you are not too surprised to see a large bandage on my face Sunday. 
  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the Gospel text, Luke 16:1-13.  This reading has been labeled as one of the most difficult of all the parables to understand.  Please read over this several times and think about the following questions:
    • Why would Jesus tell this story?
    • Why did Jesus make a hero of this crook?
    • What is the point of this parable?
    • How do we apply this parable to what we do today? 
  • On Sunday evening, Jane Cahaly will be leading a 6-week program, “How To Give Your Faith Away.”   Classes will run in the Pairs and Spares Room from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for 6 consecutive weeks.  If you cannot attend them all, just come to the classes you can. 
  • After a summer break, the Lutheran Men in Mission will gather for their monthly supper meeting on Monday evening, at 6:00 p.m. 
  • “Maddi – the Musical Revue” is quickly approaching.  This 1-hour production will take place in our Fellowship Hall on Friday, next week at 7:00 p.m., and then again one last time on Saturday afternoon, next week at 2:00 p.m. A free-will offering will be received. 
  • The last day to purchase tickets for this year’s Deutsches Fest is Sunday, September 28. They are now available from a church council member after worship or the church office, Monday thru Thursday.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
