Worship

The 8 am Sunday Worship Service is now livestreaming from Facebook, Youtube and Twitch.

Food Pantry News

Trinity donated more than 100 pounds of food so far this year...let's keep it going.

The Lombard/Villa Park Food Pantry is in need of the following food items that are not available currently at the food bank: peanut butter, jelly, pasta sauce, canned vegetables, syrup and pancake mix. They suggest you select one or two items and donate in quantity if possible as this makes it easier for them to pack the boxes of shelf-stable foods for the drive through distribution. You can drop off donations to Lombard/Villa Park Food Pantry, 155 South Main Street, Lombard IL 60148 on M-W-F mornings 9-11:30am or Wednesday evenings 5-6:45pm

They also welcome financial donations that can be sent or delivered to the address above. You can also donate online to Northern Illinois Food Bank at www.solvehungertoday.org and put "Agency Credit 1369A Lombard/Villa Park Food Pantry" in the comments and it will go as credit on their food bank account.

Also, for any families that are in need of food you can receive food on M-W-F mornings 9-11:45 am, also Wednesdays 5-7 pm AND the 3rd Saturday of the month from 9-11:45 am.

Carillon Singing Again

Thanks to Mike Ticaric for setting up a work around to get our music into the air again! We have received a lot of positive feedback from our neighbors including this lovely message below:

I was so blessed this morning by your church bells! I knew every hymn and was able to sit in my yard and worship along with the birds in chorus. What a great way to start Mothers Day .... I could hear my mother singing along from heaven.


	Youth News Big House/Mentor Class - Pastor Rogers is leading a Zoom class for high school and college students to learn how to be mentors. They meet on Wednesdays at 4:00 Guys' Night - Friday, May 1 was the youth Guys' Night IN. Tate Scofield helped out by delivering pizzas to each of the guys, along with snack bags with drinks, chips, and fresh baked cookies. Chris Gore organized online video game competitions and Pastor Rogers led a devotion entitled "You are F.I.N.E. based on Colossians 3:16 Confirmation plans are on hold for the moment. We decided to wait another week to see if there are any changes to the condition of things before trying to make a decision.

The Projects

While The Projects is on break during the quarantine we are testing new recipes and creating new ideas for the next session. Our mentors are ready and anxious to begin meeting again. Check our Facebook page for updates and pictures.
