Weekly Announcements

Childcare on Sundays – We love to have children in worship with us.  Children are welcome to receive communion (we do have glutton free hosts if necessary) as well as sing out. We also offer childcare and Sunday School. Currently, we are down a staff member for the nursery so we ask that all children join us in the Sunday School room. The nursery is always available for use by families. We are working on adding a screen that will allow viewing of the live streamed service.  If you have any questions, please ask Alyse our Sunday School coordinator or any member of the staff.

 TRINITY CHOIR – Rehearsals Resume for 2025! – COME JOIN US! Have you made a New Year resolution to add more music and more fun to your life?!?  COME SING WITH THE TRINITY CHOIR!  Maybe you sang in high school or college, or in a church choir years ago, and want to get back into singing?  We welcome both experienced singers as well as people who have NEVER sung in a choir.  EVERYBODY is welcome and encouraged to become a part of the musical life of our congregation through participation in this wonderful vocal ensemble. Trinity’s Choir has lots of fun making music together and we are always looking for new voices to join us in the choir loft.  We rehearse on Thursdays at 7 pm. Come give it a try!  There is always room for new voices in the choir!

Trinity provides meals for Clark House the first Monday of each month and Epiphany House the 3rd Wednesday of each month.  Presently, you would be preparing for 10 to 12 people, which includes staff. You are also welcome to join them for the meal.   The entire year is open because we have not requested since April of last year because you all are so great about signing up in advance!!  Several of our regular meal preparers have moved away this year and will no longer be signing up so please consider participating in this ministry. Sign up in the lobby or contact Sarah Berninger: berninger59@comcast.net or 302-351-2422.

RADIO RHYTHMS come to Trinity on Sunday, February 16! The Arts At Trinity(TAAT) opens the 2025 concert season on Sunday, February 16, at 4:00 pm, when it presents the one of a kind ensemble THREE FOR A SONG in RADIO RHYTHMS!  Alex Hassan, Doug Bowles and Jennifer Timberlake are purveyors of and specialists in the fabulous music of the 1920s and 1930s.  Hassan, a master of the “piano novelty” style, brings his more-than-ten-fingers approach to making a piano sound like an orchestra.  Bowles and Timberlake will “warble” you tunes of the Broadway stage and popular scene with authenticity, raucous fun and romantic sweep – with a special focus paid to the women composers and lyricists of the era.  You will feel like you’re in the audience at a 1930s radio broadcast as they entertain, inform and delight you.  You may even be the first audience in the world to hear some new discoveries of “lost songs.”   You can never go wrong with THREE FOR A SONG!
