In-Person Worship and Zoom
We continue to worship in person, but because of the rising Covid numbers, we request that you wear a mask if you feel safer. If you have not been vaccinated, you are asked to socially distance when in attendance so that we love our neighbors as we are loved. We are still offering Zoom; if you are interested in attending a ZOOM service, please contact Father Kurt at nomenk3@hotmail.com or 570-640-1738. He will be most happy to include you. The service is at 9 am.

Lenten Wednesday Opportunities
Beginning on Wednesday, March 9, there will be a Soup/Bread/Liturgy service held at one of our 5 parishes in the Episcopal Church of Schuylkill County (ECSC).
Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board across from the lounge and the table behind the organ. All parishioners, not just Lay Leaders are urged to volunteer to lead a service if moved by the Holy Spirit. The service can take the form of Evening Prayer from the BCP or another devotion, poetry, or any form of worship in keeping with the Lenten theme. You may also contribute soup or bread at the other parishes, not just when Trinity hosts. Please contact Fr. Kurt if you have any questions.

United Thank Offering
As we hope that the pandemic is slowly evolving into an endemic, we must be continually grateful for all our blessings. We are thankful for returning to the sanctuary, for the ability to worship through Zoom, for our Vestry leadership, our priests and lay leaders and many events in our personal lives. Please be mindful of those less fortunate who have suffered and are suffering as your put your coins of gratitude into your UTO box. Offerings will be collected in September.
