May 25th is a big day for Trinity and a great opportunity for our members to clean out their garages and closets.  We will be hosting our Yard Sale in the Fellowship Hall from 7AM-12PM, and we need your help. If there are any items (no clothing or shoes) you are willing to donate for the Yard Sale, please plan to drop them off at Trinity at any of the following times:

Sunday, May 19 – Faith Formation Hour
Tuesday, May 21 – 5PM-9PM
Friday, May 24 – 12PM-4PM

Your help and donations are vitally important to the Yard Sale’s success.  Please see Brett or Courtney Bauz if you have any questions or need help with transporting any items to Trinity.

Coming Soon Cafe

Have you visited the Coming Soon Cafe?! The main level of Trinity’s gathering space, where the parlor/library area was located has been reconfigured for a cafe setting. As our building task force meets in the coming months to imagine and dream how our facilities at Fifth & Chestnut Streets can better meet our ministry needs, the cafe will allow us to try a new setting and engage in conversation.

There is a sign up sheet for members and friends to supply donuts or treats on Sunday morning. The coffee pots and coffee as well as a large selection of tea are already there! Stop by and sign up on the clip board. Thank you to Brett and Courtney Bauz for spear-heading this project and setting the stage for conversation and imagining!

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.
