Greetings Trinity Family,
I pray that everyone is preparing to have a lovely weekend. This year, we celebrate both Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, and our Annual Congregational Meeting on the very same weekend.
LENT 2021
Today is the first Sunday in Lent. Most years, we join with our Skippack Christians neighbors for Lenten services at each other’s churches. The churches of our Skippack Ministerium are all doing church differently in the time of Covid and most are not hosing in-person worship services.
Instead of meeting in-person, each week a Lenten message from one of our pastors will be emailed to you and posted on our Trinity Christian UCC Skippack facebook page. The Ash Wednesday message prepared by Rev. Sue Ketterer from Bethel Hill UMC is up on our church's facebook page. Stay tuned for our next message that I will post and email to you on Wednesday.

COVID UPDATE
On the weekend of December 6th, our Consistory had an emergency meeting and voted to discontinue our in-person worship services. We are only meeting virtually on Facebook and Zoom.
The Covid pandemic continues to peak and is worse now than when we first closed this past spring. Please know that we are consistently re-evaluating and updating our Covid practices and criteria according to official guidelines, both state and county, as well as what we consider best for our members and community. We ask you to be patient as we find our way through this bewildering time.
We feel that returning our services to an online presence
is a small price to pay to keep our congregation and friends of our church
safe. We've been informed that the next three months will be the most
critical of the entire pandemic.
Let's do our best to mask up, use gloves, distance, wash our hands, and stay home as much as possible. Hopefully we will be together again soon but, in the meantime, please stay the course and be safe.
At the Pennsylvania Southeast Conference UCC’s fall meeting, Reverend Worley recommended that all of our churches return to online-only worship services. The neighboring UCC churches who are part of the Skippack Ministerium are meeting virtually and are not meeting in-person.
HYMNALS
If you would like to borrow a hymnal from the church, please let me know and I will arrange for you to receive one.
TRINITY BLOG
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
I will “see” you in worship on Sunday!
Many blessings!!
Pastor
Amelie
