7/30/23 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,

Here are this week’s updates to pass along to you:

  1. This coming Saturday will be our final Saturday Servants project of the month (and year) to make bagged lunches for those hungry in the Anderson area.  We will gather in Fellowship Hall at 10:00 a.m. if you would like to join us.

  2. Sunday, being a 5th Sunday, we will have ONE-COMBINED WORSHIP SERVICE at 10:00 a.m.  Worship will be followed by a Potluck Meal. Please bring a dish to share.  When you arrive for worship, you may drop off your dish in Fellowship Hall, as the Fellowship Committee will be on hand preparing for the meal.

  3. A reminder that there will be no Adult Sunday School class that morning.

  4. Also, Sunday is the last day to bring in your frozen casseroles as part of our Calvary Home for Children service project.  As of this morning we have had 19 casseroles donated.  You may bring your casserole to worship and someone from the Service Committee will be take it over to Fellowship Hall for you, or you may come by the church before Sunday and let yourself in Fellowship Hall using the digital keypad (same door code as the church) and place your casserole into the hallway freezer (located next to the women’s restroom). If you have any questions, please call Jane Potter at 864-225-6460.

  5. Sunday, I will be preaching on the Gospel text, Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52, specifically Matthew 13:44 as we explore the Parable of the Hidden Treasure.  Thoughts to ponder:
    1. What does this text mean to you?
    2. Who is the one who discovers the treasure?
    3. What is the “treasure” mentioned in this parable?
    4. What things/people do we truly treasure in this life?

 

See you Sunday!
