Sunday, October 11, at the worship announcement times.  Voting members have received a letter with the requirements for Council, and a list of eligible people to nominate.    If you are eligible to be nominated but cannot serve if elected, you may remove your name from the list by filling out the form available at the church office.

Our “Joining Jesus on His Mission” study continues for the third session this week.  If you have not already signed up to be with a group, it’s not too late – please connect with Pastor Brack to check which groups still have openings.

Both services are the “blended” style of worship. The 8:30am service meets in the Fellowship Hall, and the 11:15am service meets in the Sanctuary. We continue to live-stream our Sunday worship at 11:15am on our website www.holytrinitygastonia.org, and on our Facebook page.

f you were unable to schedule a time with our photographer during the past two weeks, please contact Charlotte Sautner to ensure you are on the list for ‘make up’ sessions coming soon!  We need the help and participation of all of our disciples to ensure this directory is a success!  Thank you!

This month marks Pastor Brack’s 15th year serving God at Holy Trinity!  Please take a minute to show him your appreciation by saying ‘thank you!’ or by a handwritten note / card. There is a large decorated box in the Welcome center, and a basket outside the sanctuary for your cards. You may also place your gift into the offering plate or designate an online gift. Let’s celebrate Pastor Brack and Amy, and the love they have shown Holy Trinity!

All disciples are invited to watch the “Luther” movie on Friday evening, October 24 at 6:45pm. We’ll watch this in the Fellowship Hall, with plenty of space to spread out. Due to Covid regulations, we will not be serving snacks… but feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks to help you enjoy the film. We hope you will join us!
