8/27/23 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

I bring you greetings on this hot Thursday afternoon!

 

Here are this week’s congregational updates:

 

  • Sunday, we will finish up our use of the blue With One Voice Hymnal. As you will recall, we have used this hymnal during the months of July and August as a change of pace and will return to it again next summer. 
  • Who is Jesus Christ to you?  Sunday, I will be preaching on the Gospel text, Matthew 16:13-20 as we explore the significance of where this story takes place.  In preparation for Sunday’s sermon, I encourage you to google Caesarea Philippi. 
  • We eagerly look forward to receiving Kenny Ossenfort, Helen Sidoti, and John Sticker into our church family Sunday!  This will take place during the Early Service. 
  • We are getting much closer to the kick off of my Adult Catechism Classes, which begin September 5 and September 7.  I hope you are planning to join us.  The first week we will be looking at the topic of baptism and what we believe about this sacrament.  I recently was asked by someone if they should attend the classes.  I answered by asking them a question, “If someone came up to you and asked why Lutherans baptize infants while other denominations do not, could you answer them?”  They asked if they needed to sign up to attend. (They answer is, no, just show up.)

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
