Greetings Trinity Family,
The weather is beautiful and we are finally feeling like fall! This Sunday is our annual Harvest Home celebration.
HARVEST HOME – SEPTEMBER 18
We are asking everyone to bring fresh fruits and vegetables, either from their gardens or from the local farm stand. Harvest Home is a traditional festival of the German church and is used to benefit our neighbors who use the Daily Bread Community Food Pantry. When our ancestors were farmers, they contributed their surplus to support their pastors and their neighbors in need.
DRIVE-THRU HOAGIE SALE – TOMORROW -- September 17 10 am – 1 pm
Our Social Committee welcomes everyone to order and purchase hoagies. They are $6 each and our fillings will be Italian, Turkey, and Ham & Cheese. They can also make cheese hoagies for vegetarians. There is a sign-up sheet in the church narthex and you can order online at https://form.jotform.com/201836095667161
CHOIR REHEARSALS HAVE RESUMED
Everyone in 8th grade and up is welcome to join Trinity’s choir. We will rehearse every Wednesday at 7 pm. Ralien and our Worship Committee are excited about all of the upcoming music we will sing as we worship God together.
CONFIRMATION CLASS
Our church’s Christian Education Committee is pleased to announce we will have a confirmation program this year. Please come to a gathering at 7 pm on October 4 to learn the details of how the program will work. All young people in 7th grade through 12th grade are welcome to participate.
We will continue to meet on Sunday mornings at 9:15 am for a class about the history of the ancient people of Israel, the life of Jesus, and the growth and development of the Christian Church through the ages. The young people who chose to be in our Confirmation program will also meet for 13 sessions with a mentor from the congregation to discuss topics about our life as 21st century Christians. Please let Pastor Amelie know if you are interested in your young adults participating in the program.
SKIPPACK DAYS – SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2022
Please start bringing in your items for the church’s flea market and place them on the stage in the Education Building. If you know of anyone who might like to have a flea market space, please contact Janet Crossgrove. We will need help with set-up, parking, selling food, the white elephant sale, and clean-up. Look for sign-up sheets in the Narthex in the next few weeks.
TRINITY MEN’S BREAKFAST – October 8, 2022
All men are invited to breakfast the second Saturday of the month. We will met at 8:30 am on October 8 at the Franconia Café & Market, 513 Allentowno Road, Souderton, PA 18964. We meet for fellowship, conversation, and a good meal. Our men’s breakfasts will continue into the future on the second Saturday of the month. Please join us!
SKIPPACK FIRST FRIDAYS-
The good weather is here and we are in the midst of the Skippack First Friday season. Each month, Skippack stores stay open late on the First Friday of the month. Non-profits are invited to have tables set up around town to promote our agency. Trinity needs volunteers to run our church’s table – we share brochures about our, invite people to upcoming activities, pass out prayer squares, and usually like to have activities to engager our younger neighbors. This year, our remaining Skippack First Friday is October 7. We need volunteers to run the table from 6 to 8 pm at each First Friday. Please let Pastor Amelie know if you are planning to help on September 2.
