E-Letter to the Trinity Family -- October 23, 2020

 

Greetings Trinity Family,

I hope this email finds everyone doing well.   The leaves are changing and the world is awash in orange and red.  I pray you take note of the beauty of God’s creation when you look outdoors!

I hope you will all join us for worship this Sunday at either 10:15 am or 11 am.  Attached to this email is a worship outline that our Affirmation of the week: We Believe by Michael Perry

We continue to have in-person worship services limited to 25 people.  The service will be held in our Education Building.  We will also Facebook livestream our 10:15 am service and offer a service on Zoom at 11 am. 

Thank you to all of our volunteers who came out in support of the Skippack Halloween Parade!  Together we celebrated our community’s youngest members and helped make a special Halloween for them in the midst of a strange autumn season!

We are going to have our annual Turkey Dinner as a drive-through only supper.  It will be on November 7, 2020 with us serving from 4 to 7 pm.  In order to have the supper, we need lots of volunteers! 

·        We  need three volunteers to help make mashed potatoes on November 4^th at 9 am

·        We need as many volunteers as possible to make pepper cabbage, potato filling, set up our space, put cold items in containers, and bake pies on Friday, November 6 starting at 9 am. 

·        We need volunteers all day on Saturday, November 7. 

o   Our cooking and food preparation volunteers are invited to begin coming in at 10 am. 

o   We need servers to help take orders and deliver them to cars from 3 to 7 pm.

o   We need our clean-up crew from 6 to 9 pm.

 

Volunteers of all ages are needed the day of the dinner.  If you are a volunteer, you are welcome to eat at church during a “break.” 

If you are able to help, please let me know or call the church office: 610-584-4054.

This Sunday, as part of our worship service, we will join together in a statement of faith that was crafted by Michael Perry.  If you would like to join along in saying the words at home, here they are:  

An Affirmation “We Believe” crafted by Michael Perry

All:  We believe and know

that Jesus is the Holy One of God.

 

We believe that he is the Christ,

the Son of  God,

who was to come into the world.

 

We believe that he is in the Father

and the Father is in him.

 

We believe that Jesus is the Christ,

the Son of God,

and that by believing

we have life in his name.  Amen.

If you would like to join us in-person on Sunday, November 1, please RSVP on Monday morning.  We will ask each attendee to come to church prior to 9:45 am so that we can watch Ralien and Amey’s hymn sing projected on the screen in the Education Building. 

If you would like to attend, I am keeping a list of who RSVPs until we reach 24 attendees.  You can contact me via email, at the church office (610-584-4054), or on my cell phone (314-680-0897). 

We continue to collect food and toiletry items for the Daily Bread Food Pantry.  They can be left at the doors of the church.

The Daily Bread has started their annual coat drive for kids.  They can use coats for all sizes for boys and girls.  The Daily Bread would like “brand new coats.” 

The Daily Bread's Current needs change every few weeks. This is their latest list of needs:

Personal Care: deodorant, hand soap, paper towels, napkins, laundry soap, and body wash*

Food: canned peas, creamed (cooking) soups, stuffing, pasta/potato/rice sides, juice and COOKIES please

Pet Care: Cat food and litter*

And any other items you wish to donate would greatly be appreciated!

*These items can’t be purchased with Food Stamps.

If you would like to borrow a hymnal from the church, please let me know and I will arrange for you to receive one.

We  are having a special service to honor Veterans on Sunday November 8 at 2 pm in our church cemetery at the stone cross.  Everyone is invited….both veterans and people who support those who served.  We will be masked and will observe social distancing guidelines.  Please invite friends and family members to join us for this special service.

Trinity now has a blog where I am posting notes to the congregation and the text of my sermons.  If you would like to read these notes and messages, you can find them at: www.trinityskippack.blogspot.com

Next Sunday, we will celebrate Holy Communion during our worships services.  If you are worshipping at home, please have a piece of bread or a tortilla or a cracker and juice or wine or a drink nearby so we can all celebrate communion together.

I will “see” you in worship on Sunday!

Many blessings!!

Pastor Amelie
