As Advent approaches and during the four weeks of Advent, we will look at the book of Isaiah as it provides many wonderful readings about the promise of a Savior for the nations. Isaiah gives us Jesus the titles of “The Prince of Peace, Immanuel, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.” Join us for this discussion of Isaiah’s beautiful witness in the Old Testament.

Join us in mission!
If you view the church community as an organism that shares its faith in Jesus Christ and you believe that our community has done that with you, then we welcome you to join with us on that common mission. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 Paul writes:
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – Jews or Greeks, slaves or free – and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
We invite all people that are part of our extended family to consider joining our mission of sharing faith in Jesus Christ. We know that you will be helped by our faith and we know that we will be helped by yours. We will be having a membership meeting on November 24, 2019 at 12:00 and we will install new members during worship on December 1, 2019. If you are interested, please let Pastor Gerry know.
Stewardship Campaign & Consecration Sunday Luncheon
John 15:4: ‘Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.’
This is our theme for our 2019 Stewardship campaign. Please pray and think about what it means for you to abide in the vine and how you are called to support our church financially. Everyone in our church community will be doing the same.
This week you should have received the stewardship packet in the mail. Please look it over and join with us as we reflect on the gifts we have been given. We will have a temple talk today and on the 17th.
On Sunday November 17, 2019 we will have a Consecration Luncheon Celebration after worship. This year, we are planning a lasagna (or Italian) Potluck Lunch. Sign up at the Welcome Center for items that you may wish to bring. We look forward to having this meal of celebration of what we are as a community of faith. Please mark the 17thof November on your calendar and join us.
Guys Night
Come hang out with Holy Trinity Guys at Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday, November 15, 2019 from 7:30 to 10:00-ish. The Caps will be playing the Montreal Canadians (eh) on the big screen. Do you know that there are many young families and young adults who are part of our congregation, but we never get a chance to meet each other, other than Sunday. We’ll take this opportunity to share a beer, see Pastor Gerry in his Caps jersey (maybe), and meet some good guys. Be a part of what is good about our congregation: its people. Hope to see you there. Go Caps!
