No Sunday Morning Service on June 5

On Sunday June 5  Trinity will host Luke Harkema’s ordination service at 3pm. This will serve as our weekly worship gathering as well as a special service of Classis to ordain Luke. The liturgy will be a hybrid of all of our favorite rhythms combined with the ordaining and charging of Luke as he emerges into his ministry. So please plan to attend church at 3pm.

–Learning Opportunities — create classes, studies, field trips, movie groups, etc. to help us learn in engaging ways
–Feasting Together — foster connections over food including potlucks on the first Sunday of the month and Breaking Bread
–Story Sharing — provide opportunities to share and hear one another’s stories in Second Hour and beyond

Earlier at worship, we will resume our traditional Blessing of the Bikes. Every bicycle rider is invited to bring their bike (or a symbol of their bike such as a helmet) into the sanctuary. We’ll pray a blessing over the people and gear as we enjoy another season of riding. Bike riders are invited to cycle to the Richmond Park Potluck Picnic in a bicycle caravan.
