/in , , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

  • This past Sunday, at the Early Service, we said our goodbyes to Michelle Nelson, who is moving to Florida this week to take care of her mother.  Michelle’s new address will be: 1639 Blackfoot Court, Leesburg FL  34748.

  • We continue to pray for Jan House who continues her stay at AnMed.

  • The June issue of The Messenger was dropped off at the post office this afternoon.

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the gospel text, John 17:20-26, on the Farewell Discourse of Jesus to His disciples.  We will be taking a look at how our Lord calls us to unity in our faith, but not uniformity.

  • A week from today, June 5, the Dining Divas group will be eating at Logan’s Roadhouse.  Contact Beth Cribbe to make a reservation (864-617-6216).

  • With Father’s Day coming up on June 15, a special offering, sponsored by the Lutheran Men In Mission, is being received to support the South Carolina Lutheran Men in Mission. If you would like to give a donation In Memory Of or In Honor Of your father, please fill out the form in the bulletin or newsletter.  All names will be listed in the Father’s Day bulletin.  The deadline to do this is June 8.

  • Again, this year, Holy Trinity will be joining Abiding Savior Lutheran Church to put together a Vacation Bible School program (Abiding Savior will be hosting).  Classes for children between 3 years of age and 5th grade are being provided June 9 – 13, from 9:00-11:30 a.m. We are looking for helpers and children to participate.  For more information, you can reach out to Kate Roehrs (864-356-2907)

  • Saturday Servants is fast approaching.  A complete list of needed food items is printed in your June newsletter and Sunday’s bulletin.  Donations can be placed in the room off the narthex.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

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

  • If you are someone who enjoys things that smell great, then no doubt you have probably smelled the sweet aroma of Krispy Kreme in the church parking from time to time.  Now there is an added smell.  With the new coffee shop on the corner of Main Street and Broad Street, if the winds blow toward the church, the aroma of coffee brewing fills the air at times. 
  • The deadline to submit the names of family members who have or will be graduating from high school, technical school, or college this spring, is Sunday evening.  We would like to recognize all our graduates in the June Messenger.  Simply send me an email REPLY with the information and I will make sure it gets to Pat. 
  • Since Sunday will be part of the Memorial Day Weekend, I will be preaching on the Memorial theme of the importance of remembering others. 
  • Monday, the church office will be closed so that Pat and I can honor Memorial Day with our families. 
  • We keep in our prayers, Jan House, who continues her stay at AnMed with pneumonia.

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

PENTECOST SUNDAY, June 8

PENTECOST SUNDAY, June 8
Pentecost is significant in both the Old and New Testaments. “Pentecost” is actually the Greek
name for a festival known in the Old Testament as the Feast of Weeks (Leviticus
23:15; Deuteronomy 16:9). The Greek word means “fifty” and refers to the fifty days that have
elapsed since Easter (Acts 2:1-21). You are invited to wear red for this occasion.

FATHER’S DAY

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

 

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

  • This coming Sunday will be Youth Sunday when the Youth of the congregation will be assisting in worship.

  • As is our custom when it is Youth Sunday, we will be using the blue With One Voice hymnal in worship.

  • I will be preaching on the gospel text, John 13:31-35, as we look at some of the final words of our Lord before his arrest.
    • A thought to ponder: What would you say to those gathered around you, in your final moments?

  • We are excited to be receiving 5 new members into the Holy Trinity family on Sunday (3 at the Early Service and 2 at the Late Service).  Please make sure and welcome them.

  • Monday evening will be our Annual Lutheran Men in Mission Ladies’ Night Supper meeting.  We will begin at 6:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.
