2/25/24 Weekly Congregational Update

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Here are this week’s updates:

 

  • You are asked to keep Phil Cahaly in your prayers as he undergoes neck surgery tomorrow.

  • This coming Sunday, Brenda McGowan will be doing a brief Temple Talk at both of our services as our Bold Women Sunday presenter.

  • For our sermon message Sunday, we will be coving what I call, “the speed bumps of life,” those times when God is trying to grab our attention.  It is based on our gospel reading for the day, Mark 8:31-38.

  • During our Late Service Sunday, we are delighted to be receiving Robert and Sophie O’Connor as new members of our congregation.

  • We are off to a fantastic start to our “Breakfast Blessings Gathering.”  Even though we officially do not start until this coming Sunday, many of you have already begun to bring in the needed items for Hope Missions of the Upstate.  Items requested are listed in your bulletin and February newsletter and can be placed in the room off the narthex.  The last day to drop off donated items is Sunday, March 3.

  • Monday evening, the Lutheran Men in Mission will gather for their monthly supper meeting.  Pastor Bruce Booher will be our presenter.

  • Then on Wednesday evening, we will continue our Lenten journey with a meal at 6:00 p.m., followed by our Lenten midweek worship service at 7:00 p.m.  We will be exploring “Unleavened Bread,” recorded in Exodus 12:1-11.

  • Speaking of bread, Amy Goodson is hosting a Bread Baking Workshop on Saturday, March 9 beginning at 1:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.  If you are interested in learning more about the ingredients and process that go into baking the bread for our communion services, there is a Signup sheet in the narthex.  Participants will be making bread and then joining together for a meal of soup and bread.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
