10/29/23 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Here are this week’s updates:

  • There will be no Sunday School classes on Sunday.

  • Don’t forget that with this coming Sunday being a 5th Sunday, we will have One-Combined worship service at 10:00 a.m.

  • Please fill out your Time and Talent sheets/ Pledge cards and bring them with you on Sunday.  Again, as part of the worship service, we will be blessing these commitments for 2024.

  • Please bring back your Trick-Or-Treat-So-Others-May-Eat bags filled with needed items. You may bring them with you on Sunday, of course, or if you prefer, you may stop by the church at your convenience and leave it in the room to the right of the narthex.  If you were not in worship this past Sunday when they were passed out, you may come by the church before Sunday and pick up a bag.  They are in the narthex.   Again, this is one of two major food drives for AIM for the year that helps restock their empty shelves.

  • After worship, we will gather in Fellowship Hall for a Potluck Meal.  Please bring a dish to share.  The Fellowship Committee will be in Fellowship Hall by 9:30 a.m. if you would like to place your dish with them before worship.  They will be on hand to heat up all dishes (but not cook it).
  • Important: I cannot emphasize this enough, please make every effort to attend and support our 5th Sunday meals.  In April of this year and again in July, we only had 37 come over and participate in our Potluck meal.  I think that many believe they will not be missed, but that is not the case.  I would hate to see us discontinue our meals due to lack of participation.

  • Sunday is Reformation Sunday!  You are encouraged to wear something red for this festive occasion.  I will be preaching on our Second Reading, Romans 3:19-28, a text that changed the life of Martin Luther and the world’s view of God.  We will explore Luther’s struggle with “Getting Right With God.”

  • We will be recognizing all of our congregational Military Veterans on Veteran’s Sunday, November 12.  We would like to list all names in our bulletin that day.  If you are a miliary veteran and have not yet contacted Jamie Corrigan or Leslie Cox, simply send me a REPLY indicating which miliary branch you have served and I will get that information to them. 

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
