Midweek Lenten Series

Join us Wednesday in Lent (March 13-April 10) for a midweek checkpoint. Each evening has three components spanning 6:00-8:00 pm:

• 6:00 pm Soup Supper
• 6:40 pm Community of Faith discussion groups
• 7:20 pm Worship in the Chancel

Each soup supper is coordinated by one of our ministry teams, but any and all volunteers are sought to provide soup and assist. Check out the bulletin boards in the parlor or contact the church office if you can help.

Souper Bowl – this Sunday!

The number of Americans living in food-insecure households is now over 46 million, which means 1 in 8 people and 1 in 5 children struggles with hunger. Since 1990, “Souper Bowl of Caring” has been encouraging congregations across the nation to work together around the time of the Super Bowl to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities.

Support the annual “Souper Bowl of Caring” on Sunday, Feb. 3 by bringing your donations of soup and canned goods for the Pennridge FISH food pantry. Vote for your choice of winning team with your monetary donation. Please make checks payable to Trinity with “FISH” in the memo line.

Sleeping Mats Delivered!

Some of our crocheting hands (the baguettes!) delivered sleeping mats for the homeless to the Bucks County Opportunity Council on January 28. Each mat consists of 750-800 bags! These water-proof mats will keep blankets and clothing dry, and are light to store and carry. Thank you to our crocheting volunteers and to the baguettes to delivered the latest creations!
