Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

• This past Sunday, at the Early Service, we said our goodbyes to Michelle Nelson, who is moving to Florida this week to take care of her mother.  Michelle’s new address will be: 1639 Blackfoot Court, Leesburg FL  34748.

• We continue to pray for Jan House who continues her stay at AnMed.

• The June issue of The Messenger was dropped off at the post office this afternoon.

• Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel text, John 17:20-26, on the Farewell Discourse of Jesus to His disciples.  We will be taking a look at how our Lord calls us to unity in our faith, but not uniformity.

• A week from today, June 5, the Dining Divas group will be eating at Logan’s Roadhouse.  Contact Beth Cribbe to make a reservation (864-617-6216).

• With Father’s Day coming up on June 15, a special offering, sponsored by the Lutheran Men In Mission, is being received to support the South Carolina Lutheran Men in Mission. If you would like to give a donation In Memory Of or In Honor Of your father, please fill out the form in the bulletin or newsletter.  All names will be listed in the Father’s Day bulletin.  The deadline to do this is June 8.

• Again, this year, Holy Trinity will be joining Abiding Savior Lutheran Church to put together a Vacation Bible School program (Abiding Savior will be hosting).  Classes for children between 3 years of age and 5^th grade are being provided June 9 – 13, from 9:00-11:30 a.m. We are looking for helpers and children to participate.  For more information, you can reach out to Kate Roehrs (864-356-2907)

• Saturday Servants is fast approaching.  A complete list of needed food items is printed in your June newsletter and Sunday’s bulletin.  Donations can be placed in the room off the narthex.

Amazing Response!

The picture say it all! The generosity of our church members is incredible. It is one of the many reasons we are all proud to say, “I attend Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.”

On Tuesday, several members of the Service Committee met to tally, box and deliver your gifts to Hope Missions. Individuals from Hope Missions helped carry items into the building. They were very grateful for these “Breakfast Blessings.”
You donated the following:
• 84 pounds of coffee (This is approximately 2,142 cups of coffee.)
• 44 pounds of non-dairy creamer and 120 individual cups of creamer (This will provide creamer for approximately 1,088 cups of coffee.)

Thank you Holy Trinity for your outpouring of care and for continuing to make a positive difference in our community.

Thank You!!!
A big thank you for your participation in the recent Encouragement Card project for the United Way SnackPack Program. It was a very successful project with individuals making cards together and at their homes. We have made 657 cards thus far. We still have outstanding cards and will continue to update our tally. The outpouring of love and thoughtful messages on each card will have a positive impact on the children who receive these cards with their weekend SnackPack items. Your generosity and dedication to this program is a testament to the spirit of our church community.
