Operation Inasmuch
On Saturday, April 17th thirteen people gathered and participated in a congregational litter pick up on Fritz Drive and Beltline Connector.
In addition to this, approximately 12 others participated by baking 35 dozen cookies for 120 first responders and 24 others prepared casseroles for Calvary Children’s Home.
Thank you to all who participated in this year’s projects.
We have received word that the blood drive for 4/25/21 has been cancelled
We will let everyone know when it will be rescheduled.
Endowment Committee Announcement
We plan to have an Endowment Committee meeting very soon to distribute 50% of our Endowment Fund earnings to charities that the committee feels would meet our contribution guidelines.
If any of you know of a group or organization you would like for us to consider, please submit their name to me, or one of the committee members, for the committee’s review.
The request should include the name and address of the group, as well as a brief explanation as to why you feel them worthy of our support.
Thank you for your interest in this worthwhile endeavor.
Sincerely,
Dave Rasche
Chairman Endowment Committee
Angel Tree Reminders
It’s that time again….
Time to help AIM provide Christmas for many Anderson families.
1. Please do not wrap gifts.
2. Leave gift, with tag attached, in the church office parlor
(use door code).
3. Gifts should be returned NO LATER than, Sunday, December 2nd,
after which, you will be responsible for delivering your gifts to A.I.M.
4. You also have the option of making a donation and someone from
WELCA will do the shopping for you. If you would rather participate
in this way, just make a check out to “Holy Trinity Lutheran Church”
and put “Angel Tree” in the Memo. If you have any questions on this,
please contact Roz Eckardt
We dedicated 38 quilts on October 11th that will be shipped to the Lutheran World Relief (LWR) warehouse in Maryland. People who worked on these quilts were Jane Potter, Shirley Ebert, Roz Eckardt, Cherie Brown, Bobbi Metz, Dianne Calloway, Kim Hill, and Nancy Korn. That brings the total number of quilts made by the Holy Trinity Quilters to 408. National Quilting Day was March 21, 2020 and marked 75 years of comforting the world with LWR Mission Quilts.
Trick -or-Treat- So- Others- May- Eat – The Youth will meet after the Late Service, today, do lunch and then go to the neighborhoods to collect filled bags. We will then take all bags, including the ones from the congregation, to A.I.M. To the congregation, “THANK YOU” so much for your support in this project.
Angel Tree
Holy Trinity will again have the Angel Tree in the Narthex, beginning next Sunday, November 1st. Families will be chosen by AIM and given to us for Christmas giving. In addition to selecting names from the Angel Tree in-person like we usually do, for those concerned about being out in public, you also will have the option of making a donation and someone from WELCA will do the shopping for you.
Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,
A couple of things to pass along to you:
In Christ,
Pastor Fischer
Saturday Servants
Again this year, HTLC will prepare bagged lunches for the Anderson Emergency Soup Kitchen through the Saturday Servants Program. However, adequate precautions will be taken due to COVID-19. Each Saturday in July we will gather in Fellowship Hall to prepare 100 peanut butter/jelly sandwiches and 100 bologna sandwiches, along with other food items. This year the following changes will take place:
Because of social distancing, we are only needing 12 volunteers each week to make sandwiches.
You will need to contact Pat in the church office to volunteer.
We will begin at 9:00 a.m. instead of the usual 9:30 a.m. to allow more time.
Only 4 volunteers are needed each week to distribute the food at the Soup Kitchen.
No close contact will be allowed with those receiving the food.
Masks and gloves will be required to prepare the food and to distribute the food.
Gloves will be provided.
Kroger Bakery will not be providing the bread this year, nor Carolina Produce providing the fruit.
We are asking for financial donations to allow us to cover the cost of the bread and fruit.
We will be providing individual packaged pretzel bags instead of creating our own.
