What’s Happening at Trinity – Fall 2020

It has been six months now since we began our online worship due to Covid-19. We have more people than ever before taking part in our worship services. It has been a joy to see our great Tech Team excel in this time. Thanks to Laura Canby, Deacon Amy, Karl Olsen, and Kaj Lund Olsen! They are the DREAM TEAM and we have all been blessed!

It is our great desire to worship together in person, in our sanctuary. Be patient, be safe, worship online, and know that we are one day closer to that longed for reunion.

Worship online and in the Church parking lot. The WORSHIP/PARKING LOT GATHERING will be hosted by the Church Council and TLC Staff. We will wear masks and practice social distancing, but it will be good to be in the same place at the same time. The details of this special day in our life together are so secret that we do not even know what they are, but stay tuned.

We are not passing the plate these days but your church still needs your support. Blessed to be a Blessing – we share a portion of what God has entrusted to us for the common good. You can donate to TLC by mailing a check to PO Box 97, Freeland, Washington 98249, or drop off a check during office hours. You can also easily make a donation by credit card by clicking on the blue Click Here to Donate to TLC button at the bottom of any daily message, or by clicking HERE to give through the TLC website.

If you would like to support any non-profit, you may do so by making your gift payable to TLC and noting in the memo the non-profit that you would like to support. Your gifts will merge with others as TLC writes checks every month to a variety of charities.

Pastor Jim and Felicia are leading a group to Israel in March 2022. We are prayerfully hopeful that the world will be open again in 19 months. A brochure for this March 23rd – April 4th Pilgrimage can be viewed through THIS LINK. We already have 10 people signed up! This will be my 16th Pilgrimage to Israel and I can tell you that there is no trip like this one.

We are gearing up for a very different fall, with some great faith formation opportunities!

Mid-Week Bible Study with Pastor Eric will be held at 10:00 on Thursday mornings via Zoom this season. Classes will begin on September 10th. An email invitation will be sent to last year’s Bible Study group. This year’s study will begin with the book of James.

Adult Education will also be held via Zoom. Linda Nevermann has been hard at work procuring some wonderful speakers for this season! Adult Ed will meet at 9:30 every Sunday morning beginning September 20th. Information about specific classes will be available soon. Click HERE to sign up for the Zoom invitation email list.

We wish blessings and Godspeed to Trinity folks who have moved from South Whidbey during the past months: Liz & Chuck Simchuk, Emily & Mike Muzos, Julie, Andy & Natalie Monetti, Becky & Bruce Lougheed, Toni & Brent Bebee, Bill & Cathy Stover, and Jo McCloskey.

Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Come in to say hello and browse the library – we have a great selection of new books and old favorites. We would love to see you! Calling ahead for an appointment is always helpful. Thank you!
