8/17/25 Weekly Congregational Updates

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 5th 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,

Pastor Fischer

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

Thank You Saturday Servants!

Thank You Saturday Servants!
A huge “Thank You” to all who supported our Saturday Servants effort! You donated peanut butter, jelly,
mayonnaise, chips, and cookies. You showed up to do prep work and clean up in the kitchen, make the
sandwiches and place food items into the bags, break down boxes and even take those boxes to the
recycling center. Many of you showed up at the Anderson Emergency Soup Kitchen to serve our neighbors
in need, sharing not only food, but also a smile, handshake, and at times, a short conversation.
In total, you made 495 lunches which included 990 sandwiches. You also made additional peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches with our remaining ingredients.
While the Service Committee may be “in charge” of this project, YOU are the ones who make it happen.
Many, many thanks Holy Trinity!

Coming in September

Coming in September!
If you believe the greatest favor you can do for someone is to introduce them to Jesus Christ, then
mark your calendar and plan to attend the “How to Give Your Faith Away” program from the
Witness Committee! We will be meeting on Sunday nights from 6-8 PM September 21st – October
26th in the Fellowship Hall. This program will be very interactive and include media, guest
speakers, Q& A, and group discussions. It will be facilitated by Jane Cahaly from the Salt and
Light Foundation and feature the works of Paul E. Little (1928-1975) as he shared his down-toearth
approach to how friendly and natural evangelism can be!
Don’t miss this opportunity to add the “tell” to the “show” for which HTLC is so well known in
our community! Stay tuned for more details to follow!
