DON’T GIVE UP MOVEMENT
Our Outreach committee is inviting everyone in our congregation to join us in sharing messages from the “Don’t Give Up” movement. This outreach was started to encourage people who are considering suicide to not give up. We have yard signs, postcards, stickers, and business cards with messages that say things like “You are Enough” and “Your Mistakes Don’t Define You.” These messages are especially important right now as many people are struggling with their mental and emotional health after the many months of our pandemic. Please pick up yard signs at church and other signs to promote this message of love for our neighbors. Here is more about the movement: https://www.dontgiveupsigns.com/
DAILY BREAD COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY
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's Current needs change every few weeks. This is their latest list of needs:

THE DAILY BREAD IS REQUESTING DONATIONS OF VEGETABLE SEEDS SO THEIR GUESTS MAY PLANT GARDENS AND GROW SOME OF THEIR OWN FOOD.
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!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Southeast PA Voluntary Organizations Active
in Disaster (SEPA VOAD) is partnering with UCC Disaster Ministries and Eastwick
United to recruit volunteers to repair and rebuild homes in the Eastwick
neighborhood of Philadelphia.
On August 4, 2020, during the pandemic, TS
Isaias dumped seven inches of rain on parts of eastern Pennsylvania. Wind
damage and tornadoes left hundreds of thousands without power and widespread
severe flooding led to injuries as well as one storm-related fatality.
Covid concerns have left significant unmet
needs in the impacted areas and especially in the Eastwick section of
Philadelphia which has the highest concentration of damage to both structures
and mechanical systems.
We anticipate receiving our first teams in
early May, 2021.
Along with following strict Covid guidelines
on the worksites, the pandemic has also made it impossible for us to offer
housing to volunteers. We are encouraging volunteers to commute from a radius
of approximately 60 miles or to make their own housing arrangements in the
area.
Project Focus: Repair and Rebuild; install
heating systems and hot water heaters if licensed Contact: Judy Moore,
Volunteer Coordinator 802-299-8290; IsaiasRecoveryVolunteers@gmail.com
Group Size: 2 to 5 team members
Minimum Age: 18
Group Leadership: Skilled team leader and
semiskilled assistant
Accommodations: None (due to Covid)
Cost: Housing (if teams are not commuting),
transportation, food
Tools: Please bring general carpentry tools
and a substantial first aid kit
Donations are deductible and always
welcome: It is estimated that $320,000 will be required to meet the needs of
the Eastwick community. To date $48,500 has been committed from the following
organizations: Eastwick Neighbors and Friends Coalition, The Salvation Army,
UCC Disaster Ministries, Lutheran Disaster Response – Eastern PA, and a local
Go Fund Me effort.
Please earmark ‘Eastwick Recovery’ and send
donations to: Eastwick Unmet Needs Roundtable St. Paul AME Church Ellwood 8398
Lindbergh Blvd. , Philadelphia, PA 19153
All necessary information supplied upon contact.
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
