Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

Here are this week’s updates:

• Bob Vinson is still living at The Garden House but has moved to Room 204.

• The rehearsals of “Maddi” as still going on each week but we need your help in a small matter. We are looking for two rattan chairs to borrow for this production that will take place in Fellowship Hall in September.  If you are able to help us out, please send me a REPLY.  They will be taken care of.

• Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel text, Luke 13:10-17 as we look at the story of the healing of the bent over woman.  We will be exploring the significance of names.

• On the last Sunday of this month, we will have One Combined worship service at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Potluck meal in Fellowship Hall.  

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

• Sunday, I will be preaching on the Second Reading of Hebrews 11:29-12:2, where we read the interesting thought that you and I are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on.  What does that mean for you?

• Even though it is still 2 and ½ weeks away, I just wanted to give you a heads up that the last Sunday of this month, with it being a 5^th Sunday, we will have One Combined Worship Service at 10:00 a.m. This will be followed by a Potluck Meal.  Yes, this will be Labor Day weekend and some folks might have travel plans, but if you do not, come and worship and fellowship with us as we gather to eat.  Please bring a dish to share.  Note: the meat will be provided by the church.

• For your calendar, please reserve the following dates:
  • The Musical Revue, Maddi, will be coming to our Fellowship Hall, Friday, September 26 and then again on Saturday, September 27.  Several of our church members will be in this performance. 
  • September 21 – October 26, Jane Cahaly will be leading a 6-week course, “How To Give Your Faith Away.”
  • Our Congregational Deutchesfest will take place October 4, from 4:00-7:00 p.m.

 

 

In Christ,

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

 

• As our oldest member, Jackie McConnell will be 103 on Saturday of this week!  I encourage you to send her a birthday card as it will mean the world to her.  Holy Trinity has always held a special place in her heart.

• We keep in our prayers, Bob Davenport, who underwent knee replacement surgery earlier this morning at Oconee Memorial Hospital.

• Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel reading, Luke 12:32-40, as we take a look at the importance of using our time wisely for the Lord.

• Our next Family Fun Night will take place on Wednesday of next week as we explore the commandment, “You shall not steal.”  This will be a Water Fun Night. Kids are invited to bring or wear their swim suit and bring a towel.

• As part of our outreach to the community the last two weeks, we received 27 casseroles for Calvary Home for Children. Thank you to all who participated!

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

 

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

 

• We had a good turnout this past Saturday with 24 volunteers who helped make sandwiches and bagged lunches for those hungry in the Anderson area.  We will do this again, one more time, this Saturday at 9:45 a.m. in Fellowship Hall.  It is very typical that the need for food increases later in the month so we are planning on making 187 bagged lunches on Saturday, which is quite an endeavor.  Come join us! 
• Sunday, I will be preaching on prayer based on our First Reading (Genesis 18:20-32) and our Gospel Reading (Luke 11:1-13).  Thoughts to ponder:
  • Who taught you how to pray?
  • Why is it that some folks believe in the power of prayer while others do not?
  • What exactly should we be praying for?
  • What does it mean to be persistent in prayer? 
• Sunday, we will begin a different outreach project for the community.  We are gathering frozen casseroles for Calvary Home for Children, as the kids get ready to return to school.  You may choose to purchase or prepare a casserole dinner but please refer to the bulletin or the last newsletter for all the details.  Casseroles are to be placed in the freezer in Fellowship Hall. We will be doing this on July 27 and August 3.
  
• I am happy to report an improvement in health with two of our members:
  • Joby Hefner returned home last week, following her rehab stay at NHC.
  • Ernie Thoms is expected to return home on Saturday of this week. 
• During these very hot days, please be aware that Pat and I often park our vehicles in the back parking lot, under a shade tree.  The front parking lot may appear to be empty but the office may be full!

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
