Greetings Trinity Family,
I hope this email finds everyone doing well. We are busy getting ready for Skippack Days and we are looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.
SKIPPACK DAYS – THIS WEEKEND!!
We may have rain this weekend, but the show must go on!
Our church has moved our flea market and food into the Education Building. We are preparing lots of delicious food…breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hotdogs, chili, pulled pork. And, our flea market has a lot of fun and interesting items.
We still need volunteers! We will charge our guests for parking in our lot – if you are able to park across the street, we appreciate it. Also, we need volunteers to work in the Ed Building to keep everything running smoothly.
I hope to see everyone tomorrow!!
WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY IS THIS SUNDAY!
World Communion Sunday is the special day when Christians all over the world will meet at the Communion Table and eat our Holy Meal together. If you will be worshiping at home, please make sure you have bread and juice or wine handy.
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 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.

TRINITY PULLED PORK SUPPER – November 5, 2022
Usually in November, our church hosts a Turkey Dinner. This year, a widespread avian flu has made turkeys very expensive. So, we pivoted and we are now having another Pulled Pork Supper. We hope to have a turkey dinner in the Spring.
We will need your help during the week leading up the 5th, and on the 5th, to prepare and serve the food. We are sticking to having a drive through dinner.
Our menu will include pulled pork, bbq sauce, a roll, creamy mac and cheese, coleslaw, applesauce, baked beans, and a giant cookie. We are charging $18 a meal and the meals are very generous portions. Please invite your friends to the dinner. If you or your friends want to make advance orders, please call the church office: 610-584-4054
