What’s Going On (by Pastor Chris) October 2018


What’s Going On (by Pastor Chris)

As many of you know over the last few years we have been using a back stock of supplies. This is why for a period of time we used mismatched bulletins and sometimes you get older stationary that is covered by a sticker. We do all of this to be good stewards of all that we have and not be wasteful. We have done a very good job of using what we had and I want to personally thank MJ Judt for her extra effort to help us in this effort.
One of the largest asks that we asked the congregation to help with was to reuse boxes of offering envelopes as we had two unused cases. Thank you so much for helping us to use up these materials. Now that we have used all of the back years the time has come to order new envelopes as we seek to offer you many ways of giving your tithes and offerings. If you would like to have a box of dated envelopes next year we need to know by October 31st. I will remind you that we will continue have pew envelopes available and you can give your offering that way. We also have online giving options through our website as well as automatic debit and we accept credit card offerings (for a nominal fee.) The other reminder is that our database no longer uses envelope numbers so we ask that all gifts have your name on them so we can keep an accurate record for you.
If you would like to receive a box of offering envelopes for 2019 please let the church office know. As always feel free to contact me if you have any questions via e-mail at chris@trinitychurchum.org or by calling the church office.

What’s Going On? By Pastor Chris April 2019

What’s Going On? By Pastor Chris Today I am going to do one of my favorite things. Answer questions that nobody asked. You may have seen that our special Easter offering is going to the Matsiko world orphan choir. My worry is that we may not have painted the full picture of who this group is and their ministry. (Especially since I put the wrong date of their performance in previous communications). So in an effort to communicate more clearly here are a few unasked answered questions (would that be a UAQ rather than a FAQ (Frequently asked questions))? What is the Matsiko World Orphan Choir? Currently made up of some of the poorest orphaned and at-risk children from Peru, India, Liberia and Nepal, the Matsiko World Orphan Choir (the flagship vehicle of International Children’s Network – ICN) captures the hearts of all who hear their hope-filled message. The kids sing with such passion and meaning that their hope of overcoming tragedy and the life-changing effects of an education

Pastor Angie's In-Spire-ations April 2019

Last month, I asked you to reflect on three questions during Lent: What will you do…learn…or become in the liminal space between now and July?   What will you let go of so that your hands are free to embrace something new? What can we do together that will make us even stronger when our new pastor arrives? It has been a challenging month for many of us personally, professionally and as a church family coming to terms with Chris moving and a new pastor coming…and then NOT coming.   The word “mulligan” just might be our buzz word for a little while!   I’m not generally a Wikipedia fan, but I looked up the word mulligan and this is what it said, “A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. Its best-known meaning is in golf, whereby a player is informally allowed to replay a stroke, even though this is against the formal rules of golf.” When I think of mulligan, I remember the story of mull
