You are invited to join us on Friday, September 11th for a Silent Prayer Vigil in the sanctuary at noon. Pastor Loye will be present for this 25th anniversary of the tragic events on that day and you are welcome to come to pray for a few minutes or the entire hour as your schedule allows.

At the end of this week's email there is a calendar for September. Summer is a slower time but check out the calendar so you don't miss anything! 
There are some additions & corrections to dates and times.!
 
Taco Fall Fundraiser
Tacos el Perico (Maithe and Jesus) have graciously offered to donate 100 dinners to Trinity for our fall fundraiser!
We will have tickets in the narthex starting on Sunday and this year you can use them at your convenience. You can eat here on campus or take them home whenever you don't feel like cooking. 
Tickets are $20 each and include delicious tacos, rice, beans and horchata.
Bring your friends, family and neighbors. Tickets are good through December 31, 2026.
THANK YOU MAITHE AND JESUS!
 
The United Women in Faith will sponsor a program to learn practical tips to keep you safe and active! (Fall Prevention). 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. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and neighbors for this informative class. To register for this event contact Deb Herrmann. 
 
TRUNK OR TREAT
As a neighborhood outreach project we will be participating in Trunk or Treat this year for Halloween. Details will follow but you know every store has candy out already, so if you see a bargain, we will start collecting now! Think about attending too. Last year Paula, Tony and Joanne gave out candy and it was really fun seeing all the kids!
 
FUNDRAISER FEEDBACK: You can still fill one out in the narthex.
The last page of last week's email was a page with a few questions about our April 11th Fundraiser.
 Please take a few minutes to let us know what you thought worked well and what we can do to improve. 
There will be blanks in the narthex on Sunday if you can't print.
You can bring it to church on Sunday or drop at the the office.  Thank you!!
 
Reminder: 
There is a prayer person available each week in the back of church to pray with/for you during communion. 
 
Choir practice will resume on September 1st in the sanctuary choir room @ 11am.
 
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 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.
