Month: April 2019

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Covington, LA, shared the message of God’s love and His Son’s resurrection with 100 children (and their parents!) on Saturday, March 13! God made a way for many Gospel seeds to be sown on this special day, an event that was open to the community.

Children who attended Holy Trinity’s Easter Eggstravaganza spent two precious hours playing games, decorating cookies, collecting Easter eggs, playing in bounce houses, taking photos at a baby chick photo booth, having their faces painted, and – most importantly – hearing the message of God’s ultimate and unfailing love for them (from Holy Trinity’s puppet ministry!). The event was generously sponsored by a Thrivent Action Team grant. Thanks be to God for allowing us to be a blessing to those in our community and make His love known!

 

 

100 Years of Reaching Out with God’s Friendship is the theme of the 100^th anniversary of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Gulfport, MS. While there are (have been) several events planned throughout the year, the main celebration will be November 3, 2019. Southern District President, Rev. Eric C. Johnson, has agreed to be our guest speaker on that day. We are also fortunate to have three retired ministers in our congregation who are participating in our planned events.

A very special event will be held on September 15^th. St. Matthew’s quilters make lap quilts for cancer patients at Memorial Hospital in Gulfport. On that date, there will be a special blessing of quilts in which the total number of quilts made will reach 1,000 (100 times 10).

Former members and friends are welcome to join us at any time, but especially on November 3^rd.
