Last Sunday. . .
Pastor Hans reminded us that the wheat and weeds tangled together in our lives and our world are not God's doing but the enemy's, and that God's patience with the mess is not indifference — it's a promise that the harvest, and the justice it brings, belong to God alone.
This Sunday. . .
This Sunday, we're excited to welcome two RMF Recital participants who will perform a duet during the offering.
Maya Kraft has played clarinet since fourth grade and is now an eleventh grader at Governor Mifflin High School, where she serves as drum major for the marching band. She's been selected for County Band the past two years and mentors students in the Governor Mifflin Intermediate School Band, with hopes of majoring in Music Education.
Mason Shultz is an eleventh grader at Governor Mifflin High School who studies viola and bass, performing with school ensembles as well as the Reading Symphony Youth Orchestra and Berks Sinfonietta. A member of the 2025 and 2026 PMEA All-State Orchestra, Mason also teaches beginner string students and enjoys composing music for his student-led trio.
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 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!

Apollo 11 Lands on the Moon (July 20, 1969)
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first humans to walk on the moon. It was a part of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission to land astronauts on the moon and return them to Earth. Their lunar module was named Eagle. The mission was a major win against the Soviet Union in the space race. Roughly 650 million viewers watched the broadcast on national television.
