5/14/23 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church,

Here are some things of interest to pass along to you concerning some happenings within the congregation:

  • Following up with the announcement I gave last Sunday, Robert Allen continues his stay in a hospital in California.  As of this morning, doctors are still running tests to determine the severity of a blockage in his bowels.

  • We are expecting the lock on the church front door to be fixed sometime tomorrow!  We have patiently been waiting for a part that had been ordered.  Hopefully you will be able to use the electronic keypad very soon.

  • We are gathering the names and information of those in the congregation who will be graduating from high school, Technical School, or College this spring.  Please contact the church office to relay that info to Pat or simply send it to me with a REPLY .  The names and info will be printed in the June edition of The Messenger.

  • Sunday, being Mother’s Day, we will be recognizing all the mothers present in worship during the announcements.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the Gospel reading, John 14:15-21 as we hear how comforts us like a mother.

  • The Service Committee invites you to help make notes of encouragement for the SnackPack Program.  We will be doing this on Saturday, May 20, from 10:00-11:00 a.m. in the Office Conference Room.  If you would like more information, please see your May edition of The Messenger or a Sunday bulletin, or contact Jamie Corrigan 864-224-8070 or Leslie Cox 301-788-9035.

  • On Wednesday of next week, May 17, our monthly Family Fun Night returns as we take a look at “The Parable of the Lost Sheep.”  The meal will be provided.  We will gather from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.  Come join us!

  • On Saturday of next week, May 20, the Service Committee is sponsoring an outreach project that will take place in the comfort of the Office Conference Room.  As you know, many in the congregation participate from time to time in the assembling of food items for the children of Anderson through the SnackPack program.  Now we are looking for some volunteers to gather to write notes of encouragement for the SnackPack program.  Supplies will be provided and examples shared.  If you are not able to attend that day and would like to do this in the convenience of your home, you may do so.  For more information, please contact Jamie Corrigan 864-224-8070 or Leslie Cox 301-788-9035.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
