Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Here are a few things to pass along to you at this time:

1. This past Sunday, we were grateful to see Krista Spoores and her son, Kyle,r at the Late Service.  You will recall that Krista joined the Navy several years ago.

2. Don’t forget that Saturday is Jane Cahaly’s Salt and Light Foundation lunch at Tuckers Restaurant from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.  There is no charge for the meal.  The topic will be leaving a Gospel shaped legacy for those placed into our care (grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc.). To reserve your spot, call Jane at 864-314-2561.

3. This Sunday, October 30, is Reformation Sunday.  You are encouraged to wear the color red as the festive color of the day.  The cross will be processed in and out of the sanctuary as part of the worship service.  You are reminded that we always turn and face the cross when it enters and leaves the sanctuary.

4. With Sunday being a 5^th Sunday, as is our custom, we will have One-Combined worship service at 10:00 a.m.  You are invited after the service to Fellowship Hall where we will gather for a Potluck Meal.  Please bring a dish or two to share.

5. Please bring your filled out Time/Talent/Pledge card with you Sunday.  A basket will again be sent around as part of the offering, so that a blessing can be given over these at the altar.  If you need spare copies of the Time/Talent sheet, they are located in the narthex.

6. Also, we ask you to bring back with you, your filled TOTSOME (Trick-Or-Treat-So-Others-May-Eat) bag to worship.  These can be placed in the room off the narthex.  This event is a major food drive for AIM to restock their shelves to feed those hungry in our area.  Or, if you wish, you can stop by the church during the week, let yourself in using the door code, and place your bag in the room at your convenience. 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

“Gathering and Giving”

Holy Trinity is a congregation that loves to serve. In an effort to build on the enthusiastic participation in our Saturday Servants and SnackPack programs, the Service Committee is initiating a new opportunity for our members to serve our community. Many non-profits in our community are struggling to meet the needs of their clients. We can help through short, simple collection projects – by “Gathering and Giving”. Once a need is identified a brief list of items to be donated will be publicized in the newsletter and bulletin. Donations can be left in the room off the narthex. At the end of the two-week period the donations will be delivered to designated charity/non-profit.

Our first “Gathering and Giving” project is for Calvary Home for Children.
Calvary Home for Children is a provider of foster care for displaced children in Upstate South Carolina. Their mission is to provide help, hope, and a loving home to abused and neglected children in a Christian environment. They currently have five licensed foster homes.

We want to support their efforts by gathering the following supplies:
• Diapers of any size (This is currently a critical need.)
• Baby wipes
• Clothes washing detergent
• Cleaning products such as dishwashing detergent, multi-purpose cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, etc. (with the exclusion of Lysol spray/wipes)

We are asking for donations on Sunday, September 18th and Sunday, September 25th or during the weeks previous to these dates. Donations can be left in the room off of the narthex. Cleaning products can be left in the gray tub and diapers and wipes should be placed on the table.
If you have questions about this project or suggestions for a future project, please contact Jamie Corrigan at 864-224-8070 or Leslie Cox at 301-788-9035.

Saturday Servants A Complete Success!
A big “Thank You” to all who participated in July’s Saturday Servants project by making sandwiches, giving them out at the Soup Kitchen, picking up supplies, picking up food supplies, and donating needed items. Thank you for your generosity! As always we are grateful to Anderson Bakery for providing the bread each week. We are especially thankful to Leslie Cox and the rest of the Service Committee for putting all this together each year. Together, as a congregation, we are able to serve as the hands and feet of our Lord in feeding the hungry in our community.
