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

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.

Dear Members and Friends of HTLC,

A couple of things to pass along to you:

  1. We now have all the food/snack items needed to make all the sandwiches for Saturday Servants.  We do not need anything else.  Please note that if we have anything left over, those food items will be given to AIM, so nothing will be wasted.  Thank you so much for your generosity.
  2. We still have just a few spots left for volunteers to make sandwiches.  If you are interested, you will need to contact Pat in the church office, as she is organizing the help.
  3. Please note that our first Saturday will be on July 4, which of course, is a national holiday, but we will still feed those hungry in our community.
  4. Congratulations go out to Andrew and Allie Drennan on the birth of Parks Drennan, born June 16.  We also congratulate proud new grandparents, Bob and Kim Drennan and Aunt Chelsea.

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

Saturday Servants

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.

 

  • We are very grateful for all of the food items dropped off for the Saturday Servants Project. 
    As of 6/21/20 we have all the food items that we will need.  Thank you to all who have donated!
