READING PHILLIES
Prior to the pandemic, we have had a church group outing to see the Reading Phils play baseball. We would like to offer this again if people are interested in going to a game. Although we are unsure what will ensue with the pandemic over the summer, please let Pastor Amelie know if you would be interested in participating in a group trip to watch the Reading Phils.
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.

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/

LUNCH BUNCH MEETS WEEKLY!
Lunch Bunch is our Tuesday afternoon Bible Study. Everyone is invited to join us on Tuesdays at 12 pm. Please bring your own lunch. (In the past, we had a potluck lunch, but for now each person will bring their own food.) Lunch Bunch typically studies the portion of the Bible that will be the focus of our worship service on the upcoming Sunday.
REOPENING COMMITTEE
We are now singing hymns in worship!! And, we are not taking temperatures.
We are keeping a list of the names of attendees for contact tracing purposes.
The decision was made to continue to wear masks during our in-person services, until the children have the opportunity to be vaccinated. We are still socially distancing and having sanitizer available. Thank you to everyone for their concern and diligence during this time.
Hopefully it won’t be much longer before all restrictions are lifted and everyone is vaccinated.
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
