8/23/20 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC.

Here are a few updates to pass along to you:

  1. We keep Beth Passow in our thoughts and prayers upon the death of her father, Burt Bradley.
  2. We keep Mary Williams, who has pneumonia at AnMed, in our prayers.
  3. We keep Paul Wagner in our prayers as he recovers from hip replacement surgery earlier today at Oconee Memorial.
  4. You may remember Pastor Bruce Booher, who filled in for me in the pulpit, on two occasions. Below is a recent article the SC Synod sent out to all congregations inviting them to participate in three Zoom sessions concerning a heavenly twist to stargazing he will be presenting. 

 

 WHAT’S SO AMAZING THAT KEEPS UP STARGAZING?

Wednesdays – August 26 & September 2 & 9, 2020 at 8:00 p.m.

For nearly sixty years, the marvels of God’s universe have been a source of joy and wonder for Pastor Bruce Booher. You are invited to join him for a three session Zoom event to explore some of these marvels and consider how they can inspire faith and awe. There will be links and resources to help you continue to explore the marvels of God’s creation, and the opportunity for you to share your thoughts and questions.

Wonders of the Universe – 8/26/20 – Marvel at the beauty and majesty of some of the most exciting objects in the cosmos. Discover ways to make new faith connections with God’s magnificent creation. 

Touring Our Solar System – 9/2/20 – We will explore stunning images of the Sun, Moon and planets from observatories and space probes. Discover what you may expect to see through telescopes as an amateur astronomer.

Introductory Stargazing – 9/9/20 – Learn the basics of telescopes and binoculars and how to use them. Find out easy ways to locate some of the brighter deep sky objects in the night sky. Learn some constellations and the stories behind them.

Register in advance. These events are free, but you must register in advance. Each presentation will last about 30 minutes, followed by time for questions and discussion. These events are intended for ages 12 and up.
