12/10/23 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Here are this week’s updates:

 

  • As Westside High School won the AAAA State Championship this past week, two of our church members are connected to their staff.  We congratulate Michael Staup, who serves as the Assistant Coach at Westside, and Jeremy West, who serves as the Athletic Director of Westside High School.

  • We ask God’s blessings upon Chelsea Drennan and Trevor Rowland who will be united in Holy Matrimony on Saturday of this week in Greenville.

  • I am utterly amazed at your generosity with the Angel Tree project each year but this year, you out did yourself.  Together we gave away more gifts (in the shortest amount of time) than we ever have before!  As you can see from the attached photo, which, by the way, does not do it justice, gifts filled a good portion of the Church Office Parlor.  Thank you again so much for your compassionate hearts that go out to the little ones in need in the Anderson area.

  • Earlier today, I sent out two bulletins for this Sunday, one for each worship service.  For those that desire the 8:45 a.m. time frame, we will hold our regular service with me preaching on the Second Reading of the day, 2 Peter 3:8-15a.  At the 11:00 a.m. time slot, the worship service will repeat, but with our Congregational Christmas Pageant taking the place of the sermon.  Every year we have a few folks who choose to attend both services. If not, come to the one your heart desires.
  • On Wednesday of next week, we will gather for our 2nd Advent Meal and Midweek Worship Service of the season. Our meals start at 6:00 p.m. followed by our Advent worship service at 7:00 p.m., which will last about 35 minutes.

  • Please mark your calendars for Sunday afternoon/evening for our Congregational Christmas Caroling and Chili Event which will take place on Sunday, December 17.  We will gather in Fellowship Hall a little before 5:00 p.m. to receive instructions on carpooling and stops to visit. Please be on time so we can leave right at 5:00 p.m.  We will return to the church around 7:00 p.m. where home-made hot delicious chili will be waiting for us, made by members of our congregation. 

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
