One Service Summer + Church Camp
This Summer we'll be meeting together in one service at 9am. This is a beautiful time when the we can worship as a whole church family and meet those we may not know. Starting July 6, we'll see you at 9am!
Camp Registration Opens Sunday
Trinity Family,
Dust off your tents, pull out your RVs, or reserve a cute cabin in the woods. August 15-17, we are headed to the beautiful Lazy F retreat center where we will find wide open spaces for play, fishing, and hiking, a beautiful new lodge for meals and worship, and time together listening to God, each other, and ourselves in Christ. We look forward to having author and spiritual director, Lacy Finn Borgo, with us to help us grow in this holy practice of listening. Look for registration to open this Sunday!

Budget Update
June 2025
With just two weeks to go in our fiscal year (ending June 30), we still need about $50,000 to meet our budget. Please consider giving a gift today in order for us to continue the vital ministry God has given us to do within our church body, in our local parish, and in the broader world.
You can give on our website or the church app, or by sending in a check to our mailing address. As always, we do have a basket in the lobby each Sunday where you can place your gift before the service begins.
Giving Options:
**Have your bank automatically send recurring checks to Trinity Church as a “bill pay” recipient. This option avoid the fees, and it’s automatic so that you don’t have to remember to write checks every month.

Try a Team this Summer!
Hi Trinity Family,
As we enter into a season of warm sunshine and flourishing, I would like to invite you to consider trying out a Trinity Team for the Summer. Our Fellowship, Tech, Prayer, and Child check-in Teams are in real need of new additions in order to fully blossom. Would you be willing to risk trying one out? I will follow up with a conversation to discern if it is a good fit for you or if something else might fit better. Please fill out this form to let me know of your interest in join one of the teams for the Summer.
Together,
Karin Abbott

Small Miracles
Summer Lunch Program Starts June 23
For seven years Trinity Church has partnered with Small Miracles to serve lunches to children at the park closest to our church (Methow Park). This summer, Small Miracles will be coordinating the site through their Central Headquarters. We invite you to sign up for a weekly slot! This is one simple way that you can go face to face with kids in our neighborhood.
What is involved? Each Monday through Thursday, volunteers serve pre-prepared sack lunches. You can sign up just once, or multiple times throughout the summer to develop more of a relationship with the kids.
How long does it take? There are two different roles that each take about an hour. The setup+serve person shows up from 10:30-11:30am. The serve+return person does 11am-noon. You always work with other people so that you’re not alone.
How will I know what to do? Training is provided online. Watch these videos on civil rights training and the Small Miracles zoom discussion.
Who can participate? Anyone! Families are welcome to serve together, so bring your significant other, children, etc.!

Godly Play Update
New digital check-in starting June 22
Families, please be aware that we are switching to a digital check-in process for children on Sunday mornings beginning June 22nd. As our church continues to grow, keeping children safe is one of our utmost concerns. This digital check-in will help us in these efforts.
There will be a station set up in the Narthex, with a designated person available to assist you. When you get to the station, simply touch the screen, follow the prompts to enter your phone number, select the children you are checking in, and print name tags. It will print a name tag for each child you checked in, and a pick up tag for you. You will need the pick up tag if you have children in nursery and preschool. Other children will be escorted back to service by our adult volunteers. We will have handouts and video tutorials coming soon.
Before you check in children for the first time, please update your family's registration using this link: Kids Registration. You will only need to fill out the form one time, unless something changes for your family.

We are looking to equip more spaces for our growing population of kids - if anyone has comfy chairs, bookshelves, or a small to medium desk they'd like to donate, please reach out to Kelsee at kelsee@trinitywenatchee.org or 509-607-0785.
George MacDonald Book Club
Sunday, June 22 @ 6:30pm
As Thomas Wingfold (our protagonist) is saying to another of a different (and often competing denomination): “But I do know this, that some of the best and most liberal people I have ever known have belonged to your community.”
“They do gather a deal of money for good purposes.”
“Yes. But that was not what I meant by liberal. It is far easier to give money than to be generous in judgment. I meant by liberal, able to see the good and true in people that differ from you—glad to be roused to the reception of truth in God’s name from whatever quarter it may come, and not readily finding offence where a remark may have chanced to be too sweeping or unguarded. But I see that I ought to be more careful, for I have made you, who certainly are not one of the quarrelsome people I have been speaking of, misunderstand me.”
Or another zinger, from the troublesome times of Darwin. Look how MacDonald cuts through both sides: “Depend upon it, my darling, in the midst of all the science about the world and its ways, and all the ignorance of God and his greatness, the man or woman who can thus say, Thy will be done, with the true heart of giving up is nearer the secret of things than the geologist and theologian.
And this description of a very old woman in the neighboring parish: “On her face lay a certain repose which attracted me. She looked as if she had suffered but had consented to it, and therefore could smile. Her smile lay near the surface. A kind word was enough to draw it up from the well where it lay shimmering: you could always see the smile there, whether it was born or not. But even when she smiled, in the very glimmering of that moonbeam, you could see the deep, still, perhaps dark, waters under. O! if one could but understand what goes on in the souls that have no words, perhaps no inclination, to set it forth! What had she endured? How had she learned to have that smile always near? What had consoled her, and yet left her her grief—turned it, perhaps, into hope? Should I ever know?”
Come and join us - whether you have read it or not - and discuss the wonderful theology (and long rambling bits) of George MacDonald’s “The Seaboard Parish.” 6:30pm at the Canlis House, Sunday night
