  3. Sunday will be the last day to turn in an Advisory Ballot for the Church Council.

  4. Sunday will be the last day to turn in donated items for the Calvary Home for Children project.  The project is being sponsored by our Service Committee.  Items are to be placed in the room off the narthex.

  6. We keep in our thoughts and prayers Dave Rasche who underwent a heart oblation on Wednesday and went home the same day, as well as Ernie Thoms who underwent a pacemaker procedure this morning and is at home recuperating.

  7. We have an umbrella who is very lonely, looking for its owner.  [see photo]  If it is yours, please let me know and we will reunite the two of you!

In Christ,

SAVE THE DATE
After a 3-year hiatus due to COVID, we will return to celebrating our Deutsches Fest!

On Saturday, October 15, from 4-7 p.m. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will host its 7th Annual Deutsches Fest, a German festival to celebrate our Lutheran heritage. We will again be inviting Abiding Savior Lutheran Church to join us. We will gather in our Fellowship Hall and dine on German foods like bratwurst, roast chicken and German side dishes. Beer, wine and softer beverages will be served. We will have German music, dancing and Gemütlichkeit, which does not have a direct English translation but describes an atmosphere which is comfortable and enjoyable.

Tickets will be $12.00 for adults and $7.00 for children (12 and younger) and will be available from a Church Council member or through the church office beginning September 18th. Tickets need to be purchased in advance to help us with the planning of the food. The deadline to purchase tickets is Sunday, October 9th.

If you’d be interested in making a German dish if we provide you with a recipe, please contact Virgil Hobbs. Mark your calendars now as we look forward to a wonderful afternoon/evening of fellowship for our congregation.
