There are some additions & corrections to dates and times.!
Please note that the council meeting has changed to August 20th at 6 pm in the library.
 
The United Women in Faith will sponsor a program to learn practical tips to keep you safe and active! It will be held on Saturday, September 12th at 10 am in Hoyle Lounge. The guest speaker will be Elton Bordenave. PhD, MEd, Director, ASTU Center for Resilience in Aging, Associate Professor, Department of Audiology. to register for this event contact Deb Herrmann. There are flyers in the narthex with complete information.
 
Choir practice will resume on September 1st in the sanctuary choir room @ 11am.
 
Last Saturday our Youth Group traveled to Mesa for a Youth gathering and volleyball tournament!
They represented us well and had great fellowship with other youth groups. On Sunday they traveled to Scottsdale UMC and 
The Bridge to sing for their services. Our kids are becoming quite the ambassadors for Trinity and inclusion in general. We should be very proud of them.
If you would like to support their outings you can designate a portion of your offering to "youth". A highlight is - the churches gave the kids a donation towards their program and they asked to give 10% of that donation to the general operating budget of the church!  
 
Thank you from Pastor Luis and UNA:

Dear Friends at Trinity UMC

Thank you for your generous support to the UNA Youth Gathering 2026 Together in Hope. Your gift helped make it possible for young people from different churches and communities to come together, build friendships, worship, and experience a space of belonging, hope, and God's love. More than simply helping us cover expenses, your support was an investment in young people and in what we believe God is beginning through UNA. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for believing in this vision. As we look toward what comes next, we hope to continue creating opportunities where young people can gather, discover purpose, grow in faith, and know that there is a place for them at the table.Thank you for being part of this beginning and wonderful collaboration work for the young people.

With grace and gratitude,

UNA Pastor Luis Nazario

The Heat Relief Station has extended their hours! It is now open from 10 am until 8 pm. 
 

There are printed copies of the updates in the narthex if you want to take one for someone or just want a printed copy at home.

 If your group has an event or announcement that you want to include in the weekly email or want to RESERVE  room on campus just let the office know and we will pass the information on and get you on the calendar. It is very important as we get busier that we have an updated calendar.

ALSO: If you borrow an item (table, wagon, cart etc) please return it to the place you found it. We're again spending a lot of time looking for items when we go to use them. Please make sure all doors are locked if you are the last one out, make sure thermostats are set correctly and lights are out. We need to take care of God's house!

 

The office is now open  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am - 2 pm or by appointment.

 

 

The Thrift Store is open Monday, Tuesday and Saturday from 10am - 2pm 

Thanks to everyone who has joined the Thrift Store team. If anyone can be a second person occasionally  on Monday or Tuesday that would be greatly appreciated.

It's hard for one person to keep an eye on all 3 rooms.

 

 

Our journaling group meets on Tuesday @ 9:30 am at the Baldridge home (3321 W. State Ave.)

The Saturday group @ 8:30 am at MK's Donuts (4729 W Olive, Glendale)is a bible study group (Life Application Bible Study.)

Everyone is invited to join one of these groups. If you have questions see Elaine or Deb if questions on Tuesday group or Grace Turner for questions on Saturday group.

 

 

Reminder: We also have ongoing projects:


Tabbies (from aluminum cans or other canned goods) for Ronald McDonald House. RMH houses parents and families from out of town who have critically ill children in local children's hospitals. 

There are jars in the narthex and office to collect them. They collect tabs nationwide to support these houses at little to no cost to parents of ill children.

 

Change for Change: There is a 3 gallon water bottle in the lobby for your change. If your pocket or purse is feeling too heavy please empty them into the jug. 

We use the change for mission projects and occasionally a bus ticket for someone coming into the office.

SAVE THE DATE: 
November 29th at Noon we will have our annual Charge/Church Conference in the Sanctuary. This will be a cluster conference with 2 other churches and  is open to all church members and a great opportunity to learn what is going on at Trinity and share your input. All church members are strongly encouraged to attend to hear the annual reports of the ministries, support church candidates for ordination (e.g. Lisa and Osny), and actively participate in the church's annual decisions under the guidance of our District Superintendent, the Rev. Melissa Rynders.  Since Trinity UMC Phoenix is a cooperative parish of three congregations (traditional Anglo, Tongan, and Haitian), members of all three congregations are welcome."

We will have a combined service that day at 9:30 am in the sanctuary (English, Tongan and Haitian). We hope to see many of you there.
