Last Sunday. . .
Deaconess Deborah invited us to pause and name what we truly treasure — and the answers reminded us that the kingdom of heaven isn't something we earn, but a gift already at work among us, growing quietly like a mustard seed or a bit of yeast.
This Sunday. . .
This Sunday, we're excited to welcome another RMF Recital participant who will perform during the offering.
Evan Derr is a ninth grader at Wilson high school. He really enjoys playing his alto saxophone and playing in the school band, jazz band, marching band, and wind ensemble.
Clothing Drive for Common Ground
Common Ground needs our help. Through our partnership with the Refresh Berks shower trailer, about 17 men and women each week are stepping out clean and looking for something clean to put on. Right now, that's where we come in.
We're collecting clothing for men and women of all kinds: pants, shorts, T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, jackets, socks, and dark underwear, along with shoes, tennis shoes especially. New or gently used, every piece helps someone feel a little more ready to face the day.
Donations can be dropped off at the Trinity or Atonement church offices, Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thank you for helping us clothe our neighbors with dignity.

A Moment in Trinity’s History
To celebrate Trinity’s 275th anniversary, we are featuring a historical event each week, curated by Danielle Smith, a rising Wilson senior and a member of our 275th Anniversary Committee. We will mark many of these events on the week they happened!

World War I Begins (July 28, 1914)
World War I breaks out across Europe. It was triggered by the assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo one month prior. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and within a week, Russia, Germany, France, and Great Britain entered the conflict. It was called The Great War and “The War to End All Wars”.
