Online Bible Study

Each Sunday evening we continue a Bible study using the “Slaying the Giants in Your Life,”  a 12 lesson DVD series, by Dr. David Jeremiah from 6:00 – 7:30 PM.  The “Giants” Dr. Jeremiah provides Biblical guidance for, include: fear, discouragement, loneliness, worry, guilt, temptation, anger, resentment, doubt, procrastination, failure, and jealousy.  The format for the study will be a DVD lesson from Dr. Jeremiah followed by comments and discussion.

Participants may be a part of the Bible study using their computers, tablets or their cell phones.  If none of these are available, a person can call in on their telephone though they will not be able to see the video portion.  If you are unable to participate in real-time, we are hoping to provide access to the video recordings.  We will be using a video conferencing platform called Zoom which is free and easy to use!  Though certainly not required to participate, there is also a study guide available for the series from https://www.davidjeremiah.org/ . 

If you know how to go online you can participate in the video portion of the lesson.  It is not difficult and we will assist you in getting started!  You will need to contact Jane at janecahaly@gmail.com or call her at 864-314-2561 if you are interested in staying in touch with other church members by participating in this wonderful series which is so appropriate for our times! 

Congregational update for May

/in /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

It is hard to believe that we are finishing up the month of April and heading into May.  If you are like me, the absence of routines has destroyed my sense of time. 

 

Here are a few congregational updates:

 

  1. Some of you have asked when we might reopen for worship.  Basically, we are not there yet. 
  2. The Church Council will be meeting on Monday, May 11,  using Zoom.  We continue to monitor the needs of the congregation and will begin discussion on the criteria for reopening.
  3. This morning, I participated in a Zoom meeting with other Lutheran pastors of the Western Conference and Bishop Yoos and his staff.  We discussed what worship might look like when we return to the sanctuary. 
  4. As the Fourth Sunday of Easter, this Sunday is known as Shepherd Sunday, with most of the scripture readings pertaining to Jesus being the Good Shepherd.
  5. In preparation for the message, I ask you to contemplate the following:
    1. Are you bothered to be referred to as sheep?
    2. What does it mean for the sheep to hear the Shepherd’s voice?
    3. What does it mean for you to know that Jesus calls His sheep by name?
    4. What does it mean to follow Jesus as the Good Shepherd?

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
