In the Season of Easter, we hear stories in worship from the book of Acts. One oft-overlooked story is the ministry and witness of St. Stephen, the church’s first martyr. Join Pr. Hans in Sunday Forum to open Acts and learn more about the early church’s witness–and how it might inspire us today.

10th & Penn Elementary
Volunteers Needed for 10th & Penn Elementary School: Some of you may remember when we did tutoring at this nearby school in Reading. Once again we are looking for volunteers to help children read and give assistance with anything else the teachers deem necessary. Contact Marian Jameson in church or call her at (610) 777-4510.
Heart for Home
Supporting the LightHouse Women and Children’s Cente
The need for safe housing and life support for women and their families is great. Trinity is setting a lofty goal for our Lent (and beyond) mission project: to be a named Room Sponsor for one of the 43 rooms in the Center at the cost of $25,000 (which can be spread over several years. We can do this!)
Offerings of all amounts are welcomed and encouraged. Together we make a difference. As an added incentive, Pastor Fred Opalinski and Bruce Ilgen are creating Heart for Home ceramic mugs for the suggested donation of $50 or more. The mugs can be a prayer touchstone for the work of LightHouse and the people they will serve.
You can place your donations in the offering plate (earmarked: Heart for Home) or send to the church office. Envelopes will be in the narthex next to the assortment of mugs.
This Sunday at Trinity
