7/31/22 Weekly Congregational Updates

 

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church,

 

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

 

  1. Don’t forget, with this Sunday being a 5th Sunday, we will be having One Combined Worship Service at 10:00 a.m.  After worship we will gather in Fellowship Hall for a Potluck Meal.  Please bring a dish (or two) to share.  These opportunities for fellowship are intentionally planned for us to get to know “the other half of the congregation.”  Most of worship at either the Early Service or the Late Service only.  This is a great way to catch up with old friends and create new ones with our church family.
  2. We will NOT be having our Adult Sunday School Class on Sunday since our meeting space, Fellowship Hall, will be set up early for our meal.

  3. I will be preaching on the gospel text, Luke 12:13-21 as we explore the story of the man who wants to build bigger barns to store his grain.  My sermon title is simply, “Stuff!”

  4. Our next Summer Fun Night will take place on Wednesday evening of next week, August 3, in Fellowship Hall from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.  We will be exploring the biblical story of Jonah and the Whale. Supper will be provided. To help us with the planning of the meal, there is a Sign Up Sheet in the narthex.  Please note: even if you do not sign the sheet and Wednesday rolls around, we want you to come out and attend.

  5. On Saturday, the women’s organization of our congregation (WELCA – Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) will crank back up in Fellowship Hall, beginning at 2:00 p.m.  Light refreshments will be served.  After taking two years off due to COVID concerns, the women of Holy Trinity are invited to a gathering to meet each other and to kick start their ministry opportunities. If you have questions, please contact Beth Fischer, 864-933-7446.

  6. The following Sunday, August 7, we will be hosting a birthday drop-in for the congregation for Ms. Jackie McConnell from 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. in Fellowship Hall, in between the worship services.  Ms. Jackie will be turning 100 years of age on August 9!  No gifts please.  Instead, your presence and perhaps a birthday card are the only things requested that day. 

 

As I like to say, “See you Sunday, either in person, in worship, or via the internet”,

Pastor Fischer
