8/6/23 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Good Afternoon Members and Friends of Holy Trinity!

 

Here are this week’s updates:

 

  1. First of all, may we all stop and give thanks to the Lord for the rain we are receiving.  We certainly need it!

  2. If you were here in worship this past Sunday then you are well aware of how I began my sermon, having the congregation sing the theme song to “The Beverly Hillbillies.”  I was floored by the enthusiastic response.  In fact, I had to convince my mom (who watches our worship service faithfully each week with her husband) that we had not practiced the singing ahead of time.

  3. We had 82 in attendance last Sunday for our One Combined worship service, which is about average for this time of the year, but we had only 37 folks come over to enjoy our Potluck Meal.  That is less than 50% of those in attendance at worship and is really sad for a congregation of our size!  We had almost identical numbers at our last Combined Worship Service on April 30, with 86 in attendance at worship and 37 to attend our Potluck Meal.  Please, please, please, if you and your family are able to attend and participate in our future meals, please do so.  I would hate to see us discontinue our meals together due to lack of interest.

  4. This Sunday’s sermon will be based on our gospel reading, Matthew 14:13-21, and is usually referred to as the “Feeding of the 5,000.”

  5. Our Family Fun Night event will take place on Wednesday, August 9 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.  In our meal, song, Bible story presentation and craft, our theme will be WATER and we will be covering the story of Jesus walking on water. 

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
