11/15/20 Congregational Weekly Updates

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,

 

A couple of things to pass along to you:

 

  • The Advent devotionals are now ready for you to pick up in the narthex.  Again, we ask that you limit them to one per family.

  • Thank you for your tremendous response with the Angel Tree.  As of this afternoon, there were only five remaining tags on the tree.  Don’t forget that you are asked to drop off the purchased items in the Office Parlor  (the room before the Office Conference Room, near the fireplace) using the front door code (the same code for the church front door).   Please make sure and attach the tag to the gift as that is the only way we have of identifying which gifts go to which child.

  • You will notice in the bulletin that beginning Sunday, we have returned to having the words printed for the solos.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel text, Matthew 25:14-30.  Questions to ponder:
    • What exactly is a “talent”?
    • Why are some servants given more than others?
    • Where is the fairness in this story?
    • Where is the grace in this story?
    • Do you feel more like the servant with five talents, or the one with two talents, or the one given just one talent?
    • What does the sermon title have to do with this parable?

 

 

See you Sunday for worship (either in-person in the sanctuary or through the website service).
