Preparation for Worship … On this glorious day of worship, loving God, may we sense the immeasurable joy that comes from being with you.

 

Welcome to Worship ... It is our desire to be a warm and friendly congregation. Please take the time to greet those around you and if they are visitors, please make them feel welcome. If you are interested in becoming a part of Holy Trinity’s church family, please speak with the Pastor regarding membership.

 

Individual receivers to assist in hearing the service are available on the table in the rear of the Nave. Large-print hymnals are available at the rear of the Chapel and Nave.

 

Nursery (for children age 5 and under – (10:30 AM) … Parents are welcome to take their children to the nursery during worship where an attendant will watch over them while parents worship in the Nave. Ask one of the ushers or greeters for directions to the nursery.

 

Invitation to Holy Communion (8:00 AM) … This morning in our worship we will share the meal of Holy Communion. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive this means of God’s grace and everyone is invited to come forward to receive a blessing. If you choose not to receive wine, do not take a cup from the tray. Wine alone is available for those who do not want bread. Pre-filled glasses of grape juice are also offered in each cup tray. Please follow the directions of the ushers. Communion cards can be placed in the offering plate.

 

Church attendance … January 3, 8:00 AM – 21; 10:30 AM – 49.

 

Altar Flowers are in memory of Mr. & Mrs. George Miller, given by the estate of Bernadine Helms.

 

Prayer Concerns … Please remember all the sick and shut-ins with your prayers and cards.

 

Pastor’s Study Hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:30 AM-12 Noon. Please call for an appointment to be sure Pastor Tom is available. Church office hours are Tuesday through Friday, from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.

 

SCRIP Cards will continue to be available in 2010; please see Carol Ebeling, Sandy Beidler, Kathy Attieh, or JoAnn Staller to make your purchase.

 

Annual Reports Due … All committees and organizations of HTLC are being notified to have their reports submitted to the Church Office no later than Sunday, January 17, for inclusion in the Annual Report of the Congregation.

 

Winter Picnic … Mark your calendar now and plan to attend the annual Winter Picnic on Saturday, January 23, at 6:00 PM, in The Gathering Place (snow date is Saturday, January 30).

Meals for Victory House is an outreach ministry of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for which we prepare meals for the residents of Victory House in south Bethlehem. If you would like to participate in this ministry, please take an aluminum pan and recipe from the tables outside the Chapel or Nave. Prepare the meal according to the recipe directions, freezer wrap and label the pan, then return it to the church on or before next Sunday’s worship hours for delivery to Victory House.
