Greetings Trinity Family,
I pray that you are well as we prepare for this, the first weekend in March. The sun is shining and the snow is melting…thanks be to God!
COMMUNION THIS SUNDAY
This weekend, we will celebrate Holy Communion at our virtual worship services. As you prepare to join us for worship, please gather bread/crackers/matzo/naan and juice/wine/coffee/milk so we will all receive Communion together when we come to the time in the service for our Holy meal.
LENT 2021
This Sunday is the third 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. Attached to this is our third Lenten message that comes to us from the Rev. Dale Davis of Wentz United Church of Christ in Worcester. Stay tuned for our next message that I will post and email to you on Wednesday.
Here is Rev. Davis' message: https://youtu.be/3wkl3gcWPzc

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
