CONFIRMATION SUNDAY, MAY 27 2018
CONFIRMATION SUNDAY, MAY 27
This day is especially important as we will be acknowledging two of our young people at the Late Service for their dedication in completing two years of formal instruction in the Christian faith. Many of us referred to these classes growing up as Catechism Classes or Confirmation Classes. On this Sunday these youth will be taking part in the Rite of Affirmation of Faith, reaffirming their baptism.

There will be a reception this day honoring these students during the Sunday School hour (10:00-10:45 a.m.) in the Fellowship Hall where you will have the opportunity to welcome and congratulate these newest adult members into the congregation.

The beautiful quilts you see draped over each pew are now ready to be sent overseas. The quilters, at Holy Trinity have been very busy and their 28 quilts will be blessed during the service today and then mailed to Lutheran World Relief to those in need. The quilters thank everyone for their generous gifts of fabric for this worthy project.
You may make a donation to cover the cost of the shipping by writing a check to Holy Trinity and putting “shipping quilts” in the memo and placing it in the offering plate.

OPERATION INASMUCH COLLECTION PROJECT
SUPPORT OUR OPERATION INASMUCH COLLECTION PROJECT
April 14 was set aside by the S.C. Synod for the projects of Operation Inasmuch by Lutherans across the state. Holy Trinity joined in this endeavor and from all indications we had a very successful and meaningful day of ministry outreach. A full report will be printed later in the bulletin and Messenger. Thank you to all who helped make a difference in our community.
We will continue through May 27, donations of toiletry items to be placed in the Narthex. Our delegates to the 2018 SC WELCA Convention will deliver these items to the” Love One Another Campaign through Lutheran Services Carolinas”, a project supported by the convention.
Toiletry items needed: shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, razors, shaving cream, hairbrushes, and combs.
There is a box in the room off the Narthex for your donations.

Youth Gathering Update
YOUTH GATHERING UPDATE
As the weather starts to warm, we realize that summer and the National Youth Gathering is fast approaching. Due to the generosity of our church family, we have our airline tickets and down payment of our registration and hotel rooms paid for. At present, that leaves $3640.00 in our bank account with the following due: Registration completion ($2600.00, due by May 15th , the balance of the hotel rooms (due upon check out) $4914.00, for a total due of $7,514.00. This leaves us $3,874.00 left to raise. We will have one more event at which you can donate towards our cause. On the next 5th Sunday, April 29th, we will host a baked spaghetti plate sale after the combined worship service. We do ask for your support of these events. As always, any other donations would be greatly appreciated. This event is always a highlight for the youth and your generosity and support is a reflection of the love you have for our young people. Thanks again from all of the participants: Wyatt and Bowen Strang, Felder and Davis Fogle, Bree and Chase Plesko, Katie Fischer, Kathleen Dial, Krista Spoores, Max Roehrs, Pastor and Beth Fischer and Amy Goodson.
