Lenten Study 2025
Please join us at Trinity Church for our 2025 Lent study. We will meet each Tuesday at 12:30 pm starting March 11 through April 15. Each study is individual and no preparation beforehand is necessary. Bring your lunch, coffee, tea or other snack as we look at current, Biblical, and personal views on justice issues. Studies will include how Jesus was treated before crucifixion, houselessness, inner personal unrest and others. Discussion will start with Bible reading, prayer, a short synopsis of issue, and then open for discussion. Looking forward as we pursue issues Jesus had and many still have today.

40 items for Lent
Each year we practice self denial by sharing our resources with others. This year we are collecting items for the All Saints Food Pantry. They need dried beans of all kinds, canned fruit-especially fruit cocktail, toilet paper, and money. You are invited to give 40 of one of the items above. Maybe you can give 40 beans. Maybe you can give 40 bags or beans! Whatever you can share our neighbors appreciate your support. Drop off items at the Trinity building by April 20th.

Print and make your own chains:
-
- Bend the first strip (Ash Wednesday) into a circle with the text on the inside (this will give every link a fun fortune cookie vibe!). Dab with glue (or staple or tape) to secure.
-
- Thread the next strip through (1 – Thursday).
-
- Bend into a circle shape and use a dot of glue (or staple or tape) to secure.
-
- Repeat steps 9-10 until your chain is complete, using the “Sunday strips” where they fit in, after every “Saturday strip.”
