8/01/21 Weekly Congregational Updates

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Greetings on this hot and humid Thursday afternoon!  Here are this week’s updates to pass along to you:

 

  1. This past Saturday we had 23 volunteers come out to make sandwiches for our Saturday Servants project.  We will gather one last time, for this year, on Saturday, at 10:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall.  Thank you for all your involvement and support over the month of July.

  2. We are very grateful to Rita Bell and Bonnie Lutz for all their work in putting together our beautiful Sunshine Baskets.  They have been very busy with all the baptisms and new members we have received in recent months.

  3. You are asked to keep Lisa McGowan in your prayers.  Earlier in the week she suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. Lisa lives in Carlton, Oregon and is the daughter of Brenda McGowan and sister of Bonnie Emanuel.

  4. You are asked to keep Nancy Korn in your prayers.  Nancy was admitted to AnMed on Monday of this week for the treatment of blood clots in her lungs.

  5. If you have been keeping up with the national news then you are aware of the changes the CDC has made in respect to the wearing of masks.  Our Church Council is scheduled to meet on Monday, August 9.  As we always do, discussion of COVID changes are on our agenda.  I will keep you posted if anything changes connected to our worship.

  6. Sunday, I will be preaching on the Second Lesson from Ephesians 4:1-16 as we take a look at Paul’s words, “I beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
