Greetings Trinity Family,
I pray that everyone in our extended church family is doing well. A lot is going on at Trinity even though we are currently at a “pause” because of Covid rates.. I hope you will be a part of our upcoming activities and worship opportunities
Last week, after conversation and study of local trends, our Consistory decided to resume Virtual worship only. Many of the other local churches have done the same. The spread of the Omicron Covid variant has been tenacious. Please keep our members and friends in your prayers as many of us are currently sick.
All in-person church gatherings are postponed. This includes Worship Services, Lunch Bunch, Sunday School Classes, Choir Rehearsal and meetings.
WINTER TUESDAY STUDY—GOD-AT-WORK
Christians in the 21st century are often in settings where we are in the minority. Our co-workers, friends, and family members are not always people who prioritize their faith. Starting on Tuesdays in January, we will begin a 12 week course called “God-At-Work: Live Each Day with Purpose.” The course combines videos with discussion. The video host is Ken Costa, a Christian who works in the banking industry. The course focuses on learning to integrate your faith and work and becoming an agent of the kingdom of God in your workplace. The teachings of this course are helpful for people who are retired and who don’t have traditional occupations in addition to 9 to 5 workers. The course will begin meeting over Zoom on January 4 and will continue to March 22. Please let Pastor Amelie know if you would like to join our course.
If you would like to join over Zoom, here is the link to login:

GIVING TO TRINITY
Although things are not fully back to normal, Trinity’s expenses have continued throughout the pandemic. We know that everyone’s work-life has been disrupted during this time and we don’t expect everyone to be able to contribute to the church in the amount you were able to contribute in the past. If you have the means to contribute to the church, you may drop off your offerings at the church office or you may mail it to our address: Trinity Christian UCC; 2009 Church Road, PO Box 538, Skippack, PA 19474
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/
