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

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 12th: "Twilight Consciousness" May Occur After Death
Researchers have found that at the end of life, the human brain might increase its activity in an attempt to stay alive or reconcile with death. Called "twilight consciousness," this phenomenon leads us to focus this week on eternal life, resurrection and the importance of scientific investigation into death.
Read the news related to this topic before attending this bible study to be prepared for an engaging conversation.
