9/22/23 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Here are a few things going on this week in our congregation:

 

  • If you are able to help out, we have a Congregational Workday scheduled for this coming Saturday, January 21, from 9:00-11:00 a.m.  We will be raking up the remaining leaves on the church grounds.  Bring your favorite rake.
  • You will recall last week my request asking for one more person to help with distributing altar flowers.  A big “Thank You” to Leigh Freeman who has agreed to be the 4th and final person to serve with this group in 2023.

  • I am pleased to announce that the Community Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper will be returning this year to Boulevard Baptist Church.  It will take place on Tuesday, February 21.  More details to follow.

  • As you gather your needed documents to prepare your 2022 tax returns, the Statements of Giving are in sealed envelopes in the room off the narthex.  Help yourself to your copy. “Thank You” goes out to Jane Potter, our Financial Secretary, for putting these together.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel lesson, Matthew 4:12-23, as we explore what it means for us to “fish for others.”  Questions to ponder:
    • Where do we “fish” for others?
    • When do we “fish”?
    • What is our “fishing” style in telling others about the Lord?
    • What is the difference in using a rod and reel, a cast net, or drive-in net, when it comes to different styles of evangelism? 
    • What kind of “bait/lure” are we for Jesus?

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
