HTLC Congratulates Pastor Cohen on his Installation

Pastor Priscilla Geerdes, Assistant to the Bishop of the Indiana Kentucky Synod, was present on Saturday, October 4, to install Pastor Marc Cohen as our new pastor.  We welcomed him into our midst and prayed for God’s blessings on our ministry together. We continue to pray for Pastor Cohen as he begins his work, for his family who support and share in his ministry, and for our congregation as we move forward in minstry together. Please help us welcome Pastor Cohen and his family to Holy Trinity by introducing yourself the next time you see them.

“Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15

A big thank you to the quilters for their work making these warm and colorful quilts for Lutheran World Relief and Jubilee Christmas to be given to our neighbors here and around the world.

New Blog: HTLC Outreach Ministries

The Faith and Finances team is attempting to inform our members about the many ways that we fulfill our Mission Statement which is “Empowered by the Spirit, we love and serve in Jesus' name."  These words comprise our mission statement and are said by us at the close of our worship and go forth to serve our Lord and neighbors. 

There are many ways that we are empowered through worship and Christian education. There are also many ways that we love and serve in Jesus' name.  Learn more about our outreach ministry and read the Outreach Ministries Blog. 

Also, mark your calendars for our Fall Congregational Meeting on Sunday, October 26th following service.

News From Habitat for Humanity

The house blessings for the 2025 Women’s Build are delayed. The conversation Sue Davis had with folks from Habitat for Humanity was a bit like an update clip from HGTV. Although there are many Habitat Homes in the Powderhouse community, the water line across from the newpark is much deeper than expected and bigger equipment must be scheduled to finish hooking up the water. Team Holy Trinity will be invited to the blessing when the work is complete, stay tuned.

Additionally, Habitat for Humanity has volunteer opportunities for 2 Fall builds for those that are interested. The first build is a Boiler Build for Haley and her two children located at 2008 Charles Street, Lafayette, IN. All Saturday slots are full, but there are several weekday opportunities available - sign up for the Boiler Build. The second project is the Bicentennial Build scheduled to begin in November, and the schedule will be shared when it is available.

Topic for Sunday, October 19th: Famed Primatologist Jane Goodall Dead at 91

Our lesson uses the death of environmental activist Jane Goodall, the world's greatest expert on chimpanzee behavior, to explore what it means to be human and how we fit into the Creator's design for the natural world.
