Trinity happenings

Sunday worship with Holy Communion at Trinity Lutheran Church, 175 S. Third St., begins at 9:30 a.m. The bread wafer and juice are presealed as a safe way to observe the sacrament. Reservations are not required. A face mask covering the nose and mouth is no longer required for those fully vaccinated and past the 10-day waiting period. The church is air-conditioned. The Rev. Nancy Moore presides.

Livestream audio is available at tlclehighton.com. Video with audio rebroadcasts are available at www.facebook.com/TrinityLehighton later on Sunday mornings. Church phone: 610-377-4303.

The removal of the steeple is delayed due to an issue that arose with the Campbellsville, Kentucky, company. Tentative rescheduling is slated for the week of July 19. When a date is selected, the information will be posted on the church’s Facebook page.

The Trinity Thrift Store is open for business without reservations. Shopping and drop-off hours are Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donation drop-offs are accepted during store hours, but are limited to five bags or boxes.
