WALKING WITH THE JESUS
As the seasons begin to change, we will once again look at small steps
we can take to improve our health. This year, we will be using the
Walking with Jesus Bible study starting Saturday, September 22nd, through October 27th. Participants will use the materials to re-trace Jesus’ travels and life throughout the week while walking and taking
small steps to healthier lifestyle habits. The group will meet each
Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall to discuss our
journey and to get tips on diet, stress reduction and more. We will then walk as a group around the neighborhoods of the church. In order to have enough devotional books for all, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex. This year, we are including all levels of fitness as well offering a “parking lot pedestrians” for those who are less agile or have other mobility issues. This group will walk in the parking lot and learn other simple chair exercises. Won’t you join us? For more information, please contact Amy Goodson, Faith Community Nurse.

Sunday September 9th 5PM Rite of Healing with Holy Communion

/in , /by

Sunday, September 9th 5:00 p.m.
Rite of Healing
with Holy communion
We believe as followers of Christ Jesus that our Lord desires our wholeness and healing. Broken bodies, minds or spirits are not our God’s intent for us. Yet, we live in a world broken by sin.
During a Service of the Word for Healing, we gather for the purpose of hearing God’s healing Word for us. The Rite of Healing is a time of intentional prayer for healing —healing of mind, body, spirit and relationship. We pray intentionally for the healing of friends, family, ourselves and our nation.
After the Scripture Readings, Sermon, and Prayers of the People, time will be given for silent prayer and for those who desire to come forward and kneel, as part of the Rite, the minister places his/her hands on the recipient’s head and prays. Oil, the ancient balm of healing and anointing, will mark your forehead in the shape of a cross.
Again, your prayers may be for yourself or a loved one. The Rite of Healing, an act as old as the Church, calls to our minds the promises of God to comfort and to remain with us.
You are encouraged to invite a friend and join us for this evening service in the church Sanctuary.

Sunday night Bible Study on Ecclesiastes

/in , /by

A Bible Study on Ecclesiastes

When was the last time you heard someone called wise? Wisdom seems to be a lost trait in modem Western culture. We have intelligent, smart, creative and entrepreneurial people…but not many wise! The “wise” were a recognized class in the ancient world, and Solomon was at the head of the class. However even he spent decades of his life seeking to disprove something he knew to be true! He like many today, both young and old are searching for the meaning and purpose of life.
Want to know where the search by the world’s wisest man led him and what he ultimately concluded? Then mark your calendars and come join a six-week Sunday night Bible study of Ecclesiastes starting September 9th in the Fellowship Hall from 6-8 PM! This study lead by the popular, syndicated radio and television Bible teacher, Dr. David Jeremiah will walk through Ecclesiastes verse by verse and explain Solomon’s observations and implementations and show how they failed—until he got it right! This exciting study, facilitated by Jane and Phil Cahaly will include video messages from Dr. Jeremiah, opportunities for group discussions and guides for personal reflection on the scripture.
•Plan to come and bring your neighbors and friends who may have read lots of books and participated in lots of book studies, but never really have had the opportunity to study “the book”!
•Come and fellowship with the new and “old” members of Holy Trinity alike!
•Learn how you might help friends and family searching for meaning in their lives!
•Build your understanding of how the world is encouraging us to “search for love in all the wrong places”!
Interested? Want more information? Call Jane Cahaly at 864-314-2561 or contact the church office at 224-4220 to sign up! Let’s light up Fellowship Hall on Sunday nights not only with our lovely new light fixtures but also with the exciting light of God’s word!

Deutchesfest — Saturday, October 13 4PM to 7PM

/in , /by

On Saturday, October 13, from 4-7 p.m. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will host its 5th Annual Deutsches Fest,- a German festival to celebrate our Lutheran heritage. This year we will again invite Abiding Savior Lutheran Church to join us. We will gather in our Fellowship Hall and dine on German foods like bratwurst, roast chicken and German side dishes. Beer, wine and softer beverages will be served. We will have German music, dancing and Gemütlichkeit, which does not have a direct English translation but describes an atmosphere which is comfortable and enjoyable.

Tickets will be $12.00 for adults and $7.00 for children (12 and younger) and are available from a Church Council member or through the church office. Tickets need to be purchased in advance to help us with the planning of the food. The deadline to purchase tickets is Sunday, October 7th
We are looking for a couple of big grills and a few Grill Meisters donning red Lutheran huggable aprons. Also, we are still looking for a few more cooks so if you are interested in making a German dish if we provide you with a recipe, please contact Virgil Hobbs or Jay Bannister who are coordinating this event. Mark your calendars now as we look forward to a wonderful afternoon/evening of fellowship for our two congregations.
