LENT 2021

We are in the midst of Holy Week.  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 hosting in-person worship services. 

Instead of meeting in-person, each week a Lenten message from one of our pastors has been emailed to you and posted on our Trinity Christian UCC Skippack facebook page.  Attached to this is our final Lenten message that comes to from Rev. Leslie Mamas  of Olivet-Schwenkfelder UCC in Eagleville.

Here is a link to Rev. Mama’s message:

HOLY WEEK AT TRINITY

We are have a prayer walk/stations of the cross set up in our cemetery.  It has 14 stations; each has a painting and a prayer.  This year, our paintings are focused on the Pandemic Hope and were created by the artist Mary Button.  https://www.marybutton.com/#/pandemic-hope/  .  You are invited to take a prayer walk in our cemetery at any point during Holy Week. 

Today, we have two Good Friday Worship services.  At 12 pm on Facebook and on 7 pm on Zoom.  Tune into Facebook at 11:30 AM for a hymn sing.   We will also have a hymn sing on the Zoom worship link at 6:30 PM.

Here is the link for this evening’s service:

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
