Trinity’s 200th Anniversary
In 2027 we will be celebrating our parish’s 200th anniversary! It seems like a long way off, but it will be here sooner than we think. A committee needs to be formed to discuss possible events for this momentous celebration. A liaison with the Historical Society should be part of this. If you are interested in serving on a committee or have any ideas for events, please speak to any member of the Vestry to begin this process. Many thanks!

ECSC Picnic
Time to mark your calendars for the Episcopal Church of Schuylkill County’s annual picnic. Sunday, September 15 with Eucharist lunch and fellowship. More information and venue to be announced at a later date.

Deadlines!!!!!!!!!
Please note: event notices to be included in the bulletin are due to the office by NOON on the WEDNESDAY before the Sunday they are requested to be in the bulletin.

Counters Needed
We need counters for Sunday mornings after the service. We still have only 4 counters and when several are away, the counting and subsequent deposit are delayed. Another opportunity for ministry which only takes a couple of hours per month when there are more volunteers. Please speak to any member of the Vestry if you feel called for this ministry. Thank you.
|
Altar Guild
Volunteers are needed for Altar Guild. As with the Counters, we have very few volunteers. Setting up for a Eucharistic service is easy to learn and only takes about 15-20 minutes of set up at the end of each week. On Sundays after the service, guild members clean up and put the consecrated elements in the tabernacle when necessary. If you are interested, please see Karen Portland or Cora Gamelin-Osenbach.

Backpack Blessing
Summer has just begun, but before school starts up again, be sure to bring your backpacks, briefcases and tote bags to be blessed on Sunday, August 25 at the Chapel at Baber Cemetery. Having the blessing of the Lord with us daily is the only way to go!

United Thank Offering
There are so many times each day that we can feel blessed in small and large ways. Think of a beautiful sunset, the laughter of a child, the kindness of a stranger, your smile lighting up someone’s day. Each time you place a coin in your UTO box, you have blessed someone else and you are blessed knowing your contribution helps others. We pray that everyone will continue to remember their blessings and help the UTO organization. This year the UTO Sundays will be the 22nd (return to the sanctuary) and 29th of September. You can bring your box or a UTO envelope to be blessed. Both should have your envelope number on them. If you have change in your box, you could help out our counters by counting it up and putting in paper money or a check made out to Trinity. Thank you in advance for counting your blessings!
