What’s Happening at Trinity – September 2020

It has been more than 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 during this time. Thanks to Dream Team, Laura Canby, Deacon Amy, Karl Olsen, and Kaj Lund Olsen! We have all been blessed by their technological skills, creativity, and tireless service!

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 on Sunday, September 13. The WORSHIP/PARKING LOT GATHERING will be hosted by the Church Council and TLC Staff. We will wear masks and practice physical distancing, but it will be good to be in the same place at the same time. More information on this event will be in a separate email later this week. Call the office if you have questions.

Even though we are not passing the plate these days, 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 23 – April 4 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.
