Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

  • If you missed any of the services for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday or Easter, don’t forget you can still see these worship services on the church website.

  • If you have not yet picked up your Easter lily from the sanctuary, please do so soon.

  • Youth Sunday, which was scheduled for this coming Sunday, has been postponed until May 18.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel reading, John 20:19-31 as we focus on the story of Doubting Thomas.  No doubt, my sermon title, “Thomas and the Watermelon Truck,”  has peaked your curiosity.

  • Monday evening, the monthly supper meeting of the LMM will take place.

  • Thursday evening, the Dining Divas will gather at the Earle Street Grill for their monthly meal together.

  • We keep in our prayers:
    • Lauren Sayers, upon the death of her grandfather, David Snook.
    • Beth Passow, upon her recent hip replacement surgery.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

  • A big “Thank You” to all who responded to our need for Easter lilies.  We now have all 35 flowers spoken for.

  • As part of our worship service Sunday, as we have done for the past several years, in the place of the sermon the congregation will be taking part in the reading of The Passion of Our Lord, using the drama booklet.  It is the only time all year, that we hear the entire reading, pertaining to the last hours of our Lord.

    • Maundy Thursday, 12:00 noon w/ Holy Communion.       
    • Maundy Thursday, 7:00 p.m. w/ Holy Communion and the Stripping of the Altar

Holy Trinity Litter Warriors Litter Pick Up Update

/in , , /by

Psalm 24:1-2: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell within.”
We had beautiful weather on Saturday, March 29, to provide litter pickup in Anderson.
Eleven congregants picked up 19 large bags of litter on Fritz Drive, a portion of Beltway Connector, and a portion of Brown Road. We also discovered three tires, a bicycle, a metal temporary road stand and numerous pieces of scrap wood. We enjoyed working with each other and the area looks much better.

Great job Holy Trinity!

4/6/25 Weekly Congregational Update

/in , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

 

  • Thank you for your quick response following last Sunday’s request for Easter lilies.  To date, 19 flowers have been spoken for, however, we still have 16 lilies remaining.  If you would like to place an Easter lily (or two) in the sanctuary on Easter Sunday, In Honor Of someone or In Memory Of someone, please fill out the form in your bulletin or newsletter and either mail it to the church or place it in the offering plate.

  • The congregation’s Bread-Making Workshop, to be led by Amy Goodson, will be Saturday, beginning at 1:00 p.m., for those who have signed up.  All spots have been filled.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the cross and its impact upon us, still today.

  • Wednesday evening of next week will be our final Midweek Lenten Service and Meal.  Supper begins at 6:00 p.m. and the service at 7:00 p.m.  This is a Potluck Meal so bring a dish to share.

  • One last note:  There is the old adage for us to “stop and smell the roses.”  This time of the year, I add to that, please make sure and stop to admire all the beautiful trees and shrubs blooming right now, declaring God’s glory.  The azaleas on the church property are absolutely gorgeous right now, as well as the surrounding homes in the church neighborhood.  Make sure to thank the good Lord for healthy eyes to see His beautiful creation.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer
