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.
