/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

  • We keep Cherly Lane and her family in our prayers upon the death of her husband, David, last night.  Cheryl and David were a part of our congregation for many years before moving away.  If you would like to send a card, Cherly’s mailing address is:  2 Villa Avenue, Bristol, RI 02809.

  • We keep the following in our thoughts and prayers:
    • John Stricker continues his stay at AnMed.
    • Earlier this week, Georgia Lou Huff was hospitalized for several days.
    • Nancy Scalf spent several days in the hospital this week with a mini stroke but is now home.
    • Warren Lutz was admitted to the Rainey Hospice House earlier today and will be moved to Dominion Senior Living of Anderson on Monday.

  • Congratulations are in order for Helen Sidoti on the birth of her grandson, Anders Grey Heller.

  • This Sunday is Gideon Sunday, when a speaker brings us a brief word on the work their organization.  Of course, The Gideons are well known for their giving out of Bibles.  You will have an opportunity to support their work on the way out of worship.  Checks can be made out to “The Gideon,” cash is good as well.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel text, Mark 9:30-37 as we look at the significance of Jesus lifting up the importance of children.

  • Tickets for the Deutsches Fest will be available from a church council member, Sunday.

  • Sunday is the last day of our Hope and Hygiene Drive as we collect items for Clean Start, Haven of Rest Men’s and Women’s Ministries.  Because of your generosity, the table in the room off the narthex is already full, but there is plenty of room on the floor for your donations.

  • Sunday is the last day to turn in suggestions for those to serve on the Church Council, using the Advisory Ballot in the bulletin/newsletter.

  • Monday evening will be the monthly meeting for the Lutheran Men in Mission.  Supper begins at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. 

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
