Reminder For August Services

For the five Sundays in August this year, we will have our English Language Said Holy Eucharist at 8.00 am at Trinity Church and Holy Eucharist with Music at 9.30 am at Old Swedes Church. We will not have Sunday Worship Service at 10.00 am at Trinity Church or Saturday Worship at Old Swedes Church in August. The 12.00 noon Spanish-language Holy Eucharist will remain at Trinity Church as usual. Children are welcome to participate in all Services at Old Swedes and at Trinity Church. Nursery Care for Small Children will not be available during the month of August.

The Worship Service at Old Swedes will be live streamed via Facebook by clicking the link on the homepage of Trinity Parish website (TrinityOldSwedes.church).

Red Wagon Ministry

For the month of August, we are collecting items for Friendship House Transitional Housing. Items needed for donation: paper towels, paper plates, toilet paper, Clorox wipes, liquid dish soap, dishwasher pods, hand soap, and plastic bags (quart and gallon size). The Children bring the Red Wagon with your generous donations to the Altar to be blessed during the Offertory Procession on Sundays!

For more information, please contact Sarah Berninger (berninger59@comcast.net). Thank you!

Ministry Written Reports for Annual Parish Meeting

Ministry Leaders are kindly asked to submit their written Annual Report for 2026 to Brian Embriani (brian@trinityparishde.org) by 1:00pm on Monday, August 17th 2026. Thanks in advance for your generosity of time.

Foyer Groups Return This Fall!

As the days begin to cool and fall approaches, it’s time for the return of our Foyer Groups! If you’re new to Trinity, Foyer Groups are a wonderful way to connect with others in our parish. Each group consists of approximately 8–10 people who gather three or four times throughout the year to share a meal and enjoy fellowship. These gatherings have become a cherished tradition, offering opportunities to build meaningful friendships and get to know fellow parishioners you may not otherwise have the chance to meet. Each year, the groups are reorganized so that new connections can continue to grow throughout our church family.

A sign-up sheet will be available in the church for anyone who would like to participate. You’ll be asked whether you’re willing to host a gathering, but hosting is completely optional. If you’re unable to host, we hope that won’t keep you from joining! We all have different circumstances, and every group works together to make the gatherings happen. Meals can be held any day of the week, at any time of day, and can be as casual or as elaborate as the group prefers.

Everyone is welcome! Singles and couples are encouraged to participate, and if only one person in a couple would like to join, that’s perfectly fine as well. Parishioners of all ages are invited. If you would like to participate but need transportation to the gatherings, simply note that on the sign-up sheet, and we’ll do our best to arrange a ride.

If you have any questions please contact the office or Niki Ingam at niki.ingram@gmail.com.



Epiphany House Volunteer Opportunity

Trinity Parish is seeking a volunteer to help provide transportation for residents of Epiphany House (722 N. Union Street) to ShopRite for grocery shopping on the second Tuesday of September and October. Coverage has been found for August, but September and October still need volunteers.

This is a simple but meaningful way to support members of our community. The volunteer would pick up a resident at 6:30 p.m., drive them to ShopRite, and return them to Epiphany House when they are finished shopping. There is no need to accompany the resident into the store.

To volunteer or learn more, please contact Beth Copson at bcopson@comcast.net or 302-584-6855.
