OFFERING OUR FIRST FRUITS

OFFERING OUR FIRST FRUITS
“I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, 0 Lord, have given me.”
Deuteronomy 26:10
On Sunday, October 7th and Sunday, October 14th the Support Committee will kick off Holy Trinity’s 2019 Stewardship Campaign with Temple Talks at both services. This year’s theme, “Offering Our First Fruits”, challenges us, as God’s people, to give our first and our best to God.
Prior to each service on October 14th members of the Support Committee will be on hand to distribute Stewardship Packets. Each packet will contain an Estimate of Giving Card and a Time and Talent Survey for each family member. The next two Sundays, October 21st and October 28th during the worship service, you will be given an opportunity to share your time, talents, and treasure by returning your completed Estimate of Giving Card and your Time and Talent Survey during the appropriate time in the service. If you forget your card and survey, ushers will have extras available — just ask. You may also mail your response directly to the church office. We hope to have all responses returned by November 4.
Think about your giving plan. As you prayerfully consider your response to offering your first fruits to God remember that God chose you as His first fruits — His first and best. Now it is your turn. Offer to God your first and your best.
The Support Committee

20 years!

Sunday, September 30 will be a special day in the life of our congregation. During our One Combined 10:00 a.m. worship service we will be recognizing Jill Helgeson for her twenty years of dedicated service as our church organist and choir director. She began serving Holy Trinity in this capacity.in May of 1998. It is hard to believe it has already been 20 years.

After the worship service we will gather in Fellowship Hall for a potluck meal and continue our time of recognition. The Mutual Ministry Committee will be providing cake for dessert. Come and join us for this celebration!
