Food Pantry Collection for October
Pasta and Pasta Sauce!
Feeding the hungry is an important ministry, taught by Christ. Each month we focus on collecting a different food item to help stock a local food pantry's shelves. Donations are left in the fellowship hall and delivered once a month to Never Alone Again Resource Center in Teaneck.
Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, October 6th, 11:00am
Our annual Blessing of the Animals is being held on Sunday, October 6th and 11:00am outside in our Memorial Garden. All furry and not-so-furry friends are invited for a brief prayer service and blessing. This a great event to which you can invite your friends! All are welcome!
Movie Night
Saturday, October 12th, 7:00pm
In August we watched Sight and Sound's production of "David" - in October we'll be watching "Amazing Grace" starring Ioan Gruffudd, Albert Finney and Benedict Cumberbatch. It tells the story of the fight to end slavery in Great Britain and the writing of the great hymn from which the movie gets its name. Another great event to which you can invite your friends!
Prayer Meeting & Lunch
Wednesdays, beginning at noon
Beginning on September 11th we will be adding a regular prayer meeting to our church schedule. This is a brief time of structured prayer - to remember our world, our community, our loved ones, our enemies and ourselves before God - followed by a time when we can share individual concerns with each other and God.
The meeting will be at noon and will be followed by a brown bag lunch, meaning "bring your own." The church will provide water and coffee for beverages. All are welcome!
Choir Rehearsal
Wednesdays, 7:30pm
After a summer hiatus choir rehearsal begins again on Wednesday, September 18th at 7:30pm. Our choir sings weekly from Sept. - June and their musical offerings add such meaning to our worship! If you love to sing, the choir would love to have you with them!
Bible Study
Thursdays, 7:00pm
After a summer break Bible Study is starting up again on Thursday, September 19th at 7:00pm. For the next eight weeks we will be exploring ANXIETY. A timely and important topic, as anxiety affects all of in us in one way or another. If you would like to join us, please call the church office so that Fran can order you a booklet. Even if you DON'T have the booklet though, you are most welcome to join us for our discussion!
Anointing for Healing
Sunday, October 27th
during worship
At the end of our worship service, all those who would like to receive a prayer of healing and anointing of their foreheads with oil are invited to come forward and receive a prayer and anointing by the pastor. Anointing with oil for healing is a practice handed down to us from the New Testament (Mark 6:13, James 5:14).
Book Group
Tuesday, October 29th, 7:00pm
We're starting a book group at Trinity! The first book we'll discuss was written by Trinity member Susan Fries titled When Pigs Fly. Please call the church office (201)487-3576 if you would like a copy. We hope to make this a monthly event! Refreshments will be served.
