Trinity Worship - August 29, 2021

As we approach the end of August, we are entering into a new sermon series this week in worship where we will be exploring the book of James.  This week we reflect on the author's challenge for us to be doers of the word, not just hearers.  We will also be celebrating back to school time with our annual blessing of the backpacks; so for anyone involved in education (student, teacher or professor, administrator or staff, and of course parent) please either bring with you or have handy your backpack (or briefcase or tote bag...no judgement). During the children's sermon we will be asking a blessing for all those involved in education this year.  Whether you worship in-person or via livestream broadcast, please know how grateful I am you are part of our Trinity family.

If you haven't yet completed our super-short survey about a potential church picnic, please take 30 seconds right now and give your feedback (the survey closes Monday!): https://bit.ly/tpcpicnic2021

• If you are participating in worship by joining us in-person at Trinity:please note the following procedures and adjustments to help make worship a safer environment for everyone:

  • Please do not arrive at Trinity before 11:15am; this will allow time for Brentwood members to exit the building.

  • Please use the West / Trinity doors if possible; this will minimize congestion near the Sanctuary. If you need to use the East / Sanctuary doors due to mobility issues please feel free to do so.

  • Please wear a mask while in the building and be mindful of physical distance.

  • We will not pass an offering plate during worship. There will be a no-contact option to drop donations before and after the service; we also offer secure, online giving options at https://trinityspringfieldpcusa.org/give

  • Hymnals, Psalters, and Bibles have been removed from the pews. We will have a bulletin, but our primary way of sharing in responsive reading will be via our screens. You are welcome to bring your personal Bible to read scripture during worship if you wish.

  • We ask those in the Sanctuary to hum or silently reflect on the words of our hymns and sung responses. We will have a musician lead songs from the lectern.

Peace,
Pastor Chris
