Greetings Trinity Family,
I pray that you are well as we prepare for this, the second weekend in March. The sun is shining and the snow is melting…thanks be to God!
LENT 2021
This Sunday is the fourth 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 fifth Lenten message that comes to from Pastor Larry ONeill of Skippack Church of the Brethren. Stay tuned for our next message that I will post and email to you on Wednesday.
Here is Pastor ONeill’s message and music:
HOLY WEEK AT TRINITY
Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week. This year, it is on March 28. We will have worship in our sanctuary limited to 25 people. Please RSVP to me (Pastor Amelie).We will also have bunches of Palms available for you to pick up. They will be in vases outside of the sanctuary doors at also at the start of our center walk way in our cemetery.
We are having a prayer walk/stations of the cross set up in our cemetery. We will have 14 stations: each will have a painting and a prayer. This year, our paintings are focused on the Pandemic Hope and we will have paintings by the artist Mary Button. https://www.marybutton.com/#/pandemic-hope/ .

REOPENING NEWS! – from Nan Burch, our Re-opening Committee Chair
Upon recommendation by the Re-opening Committee and with Consistory's approval, we have decided to again re-open our Church to in-person services beginning on Palm Sunday (March 28) at 10:15AM in the Sanctuary.
The same restrictions will be in place as when we held services in the Education Building. These include: distancing, wearing masks, taking temperatures, sanitizing when necessary, etc. As before, we will be limited to an attendance of 25, and you must reserve your place in advance of each service. To do this, email or call Pastor Amelie or our Administrative Assistant Deb Clewell. (610-584-4054)
Please note that we strongly discourage gathering in groups before or after the service, and remember that distancing must be observed at all times. We also encourage those older or compromised persons who have not yet been vaccinated to keep viewing services via Facebook or Zoom. We are thrilled that we may again gather together in person, but your safety is our greatest concern!
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
