YOUTH
Trick -or-Treat- So- Others- May- Eat The Youth will meet after the Late Service on October
22nd for lunch and then go into our three assigned neighborhoods to distribute the bags. We will
once again have bags available for the congregation to make food donations. The congregation is
asked to pick up their bag on the 22nd and bring it back on the 29th filled with food items and
place them in the room off the Narthex. Then on October 29th, the Youth will return to the
neighborhoods to pick up the filled bags. We will need some vehicles to help with the pick-up.
If you are able to help, please see Amy Goodson.

HTLC Youth Sunday School

/in , /by

Calling all HTLC youth!
We are giving this another shot! We hope you will join us for a casual Youth Sunday School class that follows the church lectionary. This will be a space where we will use scripture to guide discussion about school, current events, and whatever is going on in our lives. Connor Caldwell (ELCY Alum) and Anna Caldwell will be tag-teaming the leadership of this class, so please see either of them with any questions you may have. The class will be beginning on Sunday, September 3 in the Youth Sunday School Room right next door to the Choir Room. Our church may be small, thus our class may be small, but there will always be at least three of us, so no need to worry about being the only one! We are excited to see you there!

08/20/23 Weekly Congregational Updates

/in , , /by

Dear Members and Friends of Holy Trinity,

Here are a few of the things going on this in our congregation,

 

  • A big “Thank You” to the 18 who came out Monday morning to put together SnackPack bags for the United Way of Anderson County for the school children in our surrounding area.

  • This coming Sunday, after the Early Service, Amy Goodson will be taking our Youth and some of their parents tubing down the Green River.  For the last number of years, it has been our back-to-school tradition as the “Last Blast of Summer.”

  • Sunday, I will be preaching on the Gospel text of Matthew 15:10-28 of Jesus being challenged by a persistent mother who will not go away.  I encourage you to read this story and wrestle with why Jesus treats her in the way he does.  As my sermon title implies, “What’s Wrong With Jesus?”

  • On Monday of next week, Pat will be taking the day off.

  • Finally, I hope you are making plans to attend my upcoming Adult Catechism Classes, which will begin two weeks from this coming Tuesday, on September 5, when we will dive into the world of baptism and all related questions to this topic.  

 

In Christ,

Pastor Fischer

QUILT DEDICATION

The beautiful quilts that will be draped over each pew on 6/25/23 are now ready to be sent to the Lutheran World Relief (LWR) warehouse in Maryland. This year, fabric kits have also been assembled. These kits consist of two pieces of fabric and 2 spools of thread, simple supplies that lead to a useful, marketable skill. The 48 quilts and 12 fabric kits will be blessed during the services today.  From the Maryland warehouse quilts and kits are shipped by LWR to many countries where there is a
need.  

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.

Jane Potter, Roz Eckardt, Cherie Brown, Kim Hill, Beth Passow, Robin Sandwick, Barbara Thomas, and Nancy Korn worked on these quilts.

Fabric Kits were assembled by Nancy Korn.
