We Hear You

Last Sunday, July 5th, was our first attempt at having in place worship in the church and on Zoom also. Unfortunately, it was a failure. The lapel mic batteries died and we had no back ups. The mic on the computer didn't pick up the readers.

So, in order to try to make things better this week, we are making a change. First, we bought batteries for the mics. Second, we are going to live stream the service on Facebook Live. Just go to " Court Williams " page in Facebook and the service will be streamed from there live.

It will not be in Zoom. Please do not go to Zoom for the service. Please understand that we are doing our best to make this work for everyone. If this solution does not work at an acceptable level, we may go to two services on Sunday morning, one live and one on Zoom.

There will not be an online coffee hour this week.

Thank you for your presence and your support of our efforts.
Food For Thought for July -- drop off today

Dear Trinity, we will be doing Food for Thought this month to support our families at TriCon.

We will have a drive through drop off today, Friday, July 10th at 5:00 p.m. at the back door of the church for those who cannot come to church on Sunday. Just drive up and masked volunteers will get the bags out of the car for you.

Alternatively, if you are coming to church on Sunday, July 12th , you can bring your bags of food in that day as well. We place them all before the altar and bless them prior to giving them to TriCon for distribution.

Thank you so much for your support of our TriCon families!
In-Place Worship Has Resumed

In-place Sunday worship has resumed at 10 a.m. in the church sanctuary. We are observing special safety procedures for Sunday worship.

We are continuing to live-stream the service, so you can still participate even if you are unable to attend in person. (The service will be live streamed on Father Court's Facebook page, " Court Williams ")

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at office@TrinityChurchHP.org or (847) 272-2250.
