Pastor Josh has announced the exciting news that
he has accepted a new call to serve Community of Grace in Peoria, AZ.
Please join us in celebrating Pastor Josh’s ministry among us these past two
years at Jazz in the
Garden on Sunday,
October 8, Noon – 2pm. In addition to listening to great
music from Doctrine, it will be a chance to visit with Pastor Josh, Rebecca,
Grayson and Daxton and say farewell. Please RSVP to help
ensure we have food for everyone! Volunteer opportunities are available

Volunteers are needed to sell pumpkins in the
Pumpkin Patch! Shifts are available on weekday afternoons and
weekends. All proceeds from the Pumpkin Patch will go towards Youth
Activities. If you can volunteer for a two hour shift, please use the
link below to schedule a shift or two. All you need is a smile and kind
words!
Pumpkins are scheduled to arrive on Saturday,
October 14 at 9:00 AM. Time is subject to change due to weather and delivery
driver's schedule. We are looking for volunteers to help unload the pumpkins and
place them in the patch. Please bring gloves and clothes that can get
dirty. Be prepared to lift pumpkins!
The next new member orientation will be Saturday, October 21, 2023, 8:30am – Noon. If you would like to know more about membership at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, this orientation will answer any questions you may have, review HSLC’s understanding of our ministry, and offer key insights about how Lutherans answer the big questions about God. An optional tour will be available at the conclusion of the morning. A light breakfast is provided, so we ask you to register through our website, church app, or by calling the church office. Childcare is available by request on the registration form.

We will need volunteers at our stations, but more importantly, we will need trunks! HSLC is able to assist in providing decorations, helping you decorate your trunk or providing candy if needed. There will be prizes for the best trunks! Don't miss out on this opportunity to spread love in our community.

Everyone has family & friends who have
been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer creates a crisis for
those affected by cancer, the entire family, and their loved ones. The diagnosis
is frightening. The treatment is difficult. The aftershocks are long lasting. Families facing cancer often look
for a place where they can find the support and understanding they need to cope with the long term
effects of cancer. It was for this reason that the Cancer Support Ministry was founded at HSLC in
2018. Join us the 3rd Wednesday each month at 6:00 PM in the Worship Center Family room. Our next meeting will be on SEPTEMBER 20.
Are you looking to socialize and enjoy time with other couples? Do you want to expand your Christian friendships? Join us the 2nd Sunday of the month at 6:00 PM in the Learning Center room 203 for fellowship with other couples, hosted by Lois and Marty Light. For information, please contact the church office. Childcare is available upon request! Contact the church office. Our next meeting is OCTOBER 8.
A new church app is available! This app does everything the old one did and more! In addition to giving, the church calendar and church directory, the new app will also have all event sign ups in one place. You can also watch each Sunday's service with the app. We encourage you to watch the video and download the new app. As always, if you have any questions or need to troubleshoot, please contact the church office at 561-624-9663.
