10/26/25 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

  • We celebrate Ernie Thoms’ return to worship with us this past Sunday at the Late Service.  He and Jeanette attended our Deutshcesfest back in October but this was the first time Ernie was back with us at worship since his stroke.

  • With Sunday being Reformation Sunday, you are invited to wear something red in honor of this festive occasion.

  • I will be preaching on the psalm for this day, Psalm 46.  Have you ever felt you needed God’s protection from the turmoil of this world?  This psalm was a constant reminder to Martin Luther of God’s protection and presence.

  • If you have not already done so, please bring your Time and Talent and Pledge card with you to worship on Sunday.  As part of the offering, a blessing will be given over these commitments for 2026.

  • We ask you to return your filled Trick-Or-Treat-So-Others-May-Eat bags to the room off the narthex.  You may do so before Sunday or with you, as you come to worship.  Later that afternoon our youth and adults will be taking them to AIM as part of their food drive to restock their food pantry.  Again, thank you for your generosity.

  • As you complete your Time/Talents sheet, please be aware of several needs we have as a congregation.
    • We are looking for one more person to help make Sunshine Baskets from time to time.  The cost of the supplies will be provided by the Service Committee. See me if interested or if you have any questions about this.

    • We would love to have a few more tabulator teams to count the offerings on Sundays.  Training will be provided.  See me if interested in serving the Lord in this capacity.

  • The final “How To Give Your Faith Away” workshop has been postponed until Sunday, November 9.

  • Monday evening, the Lutheran Men in Mission gather for their monthly supper meeting at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
