OUTDOOR WORSHIP SERVICE OF CONFIRMATION (ALSO ZOOM)

On Sunday, June 6, we are delighted to be confirming two of our youth. Will Holtz and Fisher Houston actually completed their coursework some time ago, but we hoped to postpone their formal confirmation so it could be done in person rather than on Zoom. Please join us for worship this Sunday as they affirm their faith and are welcomed into full adult membership in Trinity United Church of Christ.

We will also be celebrating Holy Communion. I have ordered special prefilled and wrapped communion cup/wafer combination packets. They will be distributed to you individually and you will be able to unwrap and partake of the elements yourself.
 
Our other protocols from last week will still apply -
Please:
1.    Bring a lawn chair.
2.    Your bulletin.
3.    And – because we are of varied vaccination status, we will be wearing masks and practicing social distancing outside of family groups.
 
Pre-registration is NOT necessary. We will take attendance as normal (and also to have a record if for any reason there were health challenges the group needed to be informed of.)

Thank you for your safe participation in advance.

We look forward to seeing you!

On Saturday, June 5, we will celebrate the baptism of Amaya Madison Weaver. Amaya is the granddaughter of our new members, Steve and Robin Jahraus. We planned this baptism long before the COVID protocols had changed, so we had planned a service outside our worship time. The new parents, Ashley (Jahraus) and Brandon Weaver are hosting 18 extended family members, many of whom will be meeting Amaya for the first time since our lockdown.
The service will be in the courtyard roughly 12:30 – 2:00. Please plan yardwork or errands to the church during other hours. Thank you.

BIBLE STUDY 9:45 - 11:00 AM Thursdays

We'll have a chance to check-in on the events of the day and then dive into our exploration of scripture. All are welcome. No prior experience necessary!  Lessons are shared on screen, but if you want to dial in by phone, just have your own Bible handy.

Here is the Bible Study Link:

Mission Core Report
 
June 1st, and we are swimming in changes.
In person worship
Roads and streets filled with fast moving traffic. Are we all speeding to see if we can “catch up” for all the lost time and events of fourteen months of pandemic?
 
Even if we are in a hurry, please remember to purchase a package or two of diapers for our Diaper Drive. Our donation will go directly to the Evanston YWCA’s shelter for battered women with children. All of the popular brands are welcome.

As I will be leading worship in Waukegan on the 6th, I will double up collecting your diaper contribution with an additional ‘Drive and Drop’ collection on Saturday June 5th from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the church driveway. If that doesn’t work for you, bring them to the outdoor worship on the 6th. I will make a final collection on the 12th from 2:00 to 4:00 PM in the driveway at church, and at worship on the 13th.
