Anyone wanting to join up to eat a great chili meal and then go caroling to at nursing homes and to shut-ins can meet at the Fellowship Hall.
A great way to bring Christmas cheer to all.
We will meet in the fellowship hall at 5PM Sunday December 22nd.

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,
Hopefully you have seen the notice in the bulletin and Messenger announcing that the entire congregation is invited to the next Lutheran Men in Mission Supper meeting, Monday, November 25 at 6:30 p.m. We are excited to have as our speaker, Sheriff Chuck Wright of Spartanburg County. Although he is in the news quite a bit with his law enforcement approach, what is often overlooked is his faithful devotion to the Lord as a fellow Lutheran.
The meal for the evening has been donated and in exchange we simply ask that you bring a free-will offering which will go to the Lutheran Men in Mission’s Pee Dee Indian Building Project. To make sure enough food is prepared, all we ask is that you let me know, or my wife, or Pat in the church office, if you are not a regular LMM monthly attendee. Send me a REPLY and I will add you the list.
Come join us for what promises to be a very enjoyable and inspirational time together.
In Christ,
Pastor Fischer
Congratulations to our newly elected council members

Deutsches Fest! A Great Success
On Saturday, October 6th, many in our congregation, along with some folks from Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, gathered for our 6th Annual Deutsches Fest to celebrate our Lutheran heritage. A big “Thank You” goes out to Virgil Hobbs who organized this event and to all who decorated, cooked, baked, grilled, and cleaned up afterwards to help make this such an enjoyable celebration. We had our largest attendance to date and all proceeds from this event will go towards our Lutheran Youth Group’s trip to the National Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, MN in 2021. To date a total of $1,541.00 was collected.
The Youth will be the recipients of this year’s Deutsches Fest funds to support their trip to the 2021 National Youth Gathering.
New Adult Sunday School Series
We recently began a six-session Bible study developed by communicator, author and pastor, Andy Stanley. Twisting the Truth is designed to help us understand how truth can get twisted and distorted, and how that impacts our life. Throughout the study Pastor Stanley exposes four destructive and all-too-prevalent lies about authority, pain, sex, and sin. They’re deceptions powerful enough to ruin our relationships, our lives, even our eternities—but only if we let them. With his gift for straight, to-the-heart communication, he helps us exchange falsehoods for truths that can turn our lives completely around.
Sessions include:
1. The Sound of Deception
2. All Is Not as It Seems
3. Says Who?
4. Facing Forward
5. It’s Only Physical
6. It’s No Mistake
Come and join us each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in the bottom level of the Education Building.
