2/22/26 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

  • This past Sunday at worship I informed you during the announcements that Ernie Thoms had suffered another major stroke, on Saturday.   Here is the latest on him.  This stroke is worse than the one he had in July.  He is still in ICU at AnMed and not receiving visits at this time.  He has made some improvements this week.  Please continue to keep Ernie, Jeanette and their two sons – Keith and Darrell, and family in your thoughts and prayers.

  • That being said, our Day of Recognition for Ernie that was scheduled for this coming Sunday has been postponed.

  • Sunday School classes for all ages will resume on Sunday.

  • Sunday’s worship theme will be about facing the temptations of life.  Our Old Testament reading will be Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7 (Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden) and the Gospel readings will be Matthew 4:1-11 (Jesus squaring off against the devil for 40 days and nights in the wilderness).  And what would a worship service on temptation be like, without our final hymn being A Mighty Fortress Is Our God?

  • The Lutheran Men in Mission will gather on Monday evening for their monthly supper meeting at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

  • Each Wednesday night, up until Easter, you are invited to our Lenten meal (6:00 p.m.) followed by our Lenten worship service.  A free-will offering will be received for the meal each week. We will be focusing on the petition of the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father Who Art In Heaven.”

  • If you are not able to attend our mid-week worship services, they will be recorded each week and placed on our church website.

  • If you are interested in purchasing one of the red congregational T-shirts I showed you in my sermon last Sunday, with the words, “The church has left the building . . . to serve God’s people!,” please let me know.  I have about a dozen remaining.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
