As summer winds down, we are gearing up for A September to Remember at Trinity Altoona!
Starting this coming weekend August 31-September 1, we return to our “trinity” of worship services: 6:30PM Saturdays, 8:15AM Sundays and 10:45AM Sundays.
Our new chalice has arrived and will be officially dedicated this weekend. The chalice was purchased by Mark Criste and Jolinda Reighard as a memorial gift from longtime Trinity member Del Woodring.
Sunday School and Confirmation Classes kick off the following Sunday, September 8 at 9:30AM. We will have classes for ALL youth from preschool up to 12th grade. Join us for Sunday School Rally Day and help get our new Sunday School year off to a great start!
With school back in session, Pastor Eli will be doing our annual “Blessing of the Backpacks” during September 7-8 weekend’s services (rescheduled from 8/31-9/1). Children are asked to bring their backpacks to church to be blessed and adorned with an inspirational item as a reminder of that blessing.
The next meeting of Triniteens, Trinity Altoona’s youth group, is also coming up Sunday September 8 from 5-7PM. Any Trinity youth in 7th thru 12th grades are welcome and invited to bring a friend. Call Rob Lloyd at 937-7152 for more info.
Our annual Ladies’ Retreat weekend is on tap for September 20-22 at Camp Sequanota in Boswell, PA. The cost is $115, which includes room, bedding, towels, meals and supplies. Call Linda Hoover at 944-0906 for all the details.
Also next month: Trinity’s sewing, crocheting and Healthy You groups continue while our Adult Bible Study and Thursday morning Prayer Breakfasts return to our event schedule. It truly will be A September to Remember at Trinity Altoona…join us!
