Welcome to

​Trinity Reformed UCC, an Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ, located in beautiful Collegeville, Pennsylvania

We follow Jesus Christ who taught us that the greatest commandment is to “Love God and love our neighbor”, and who declared to those who would follow him that we should, above all, “Love one another”. 

Advent with & at Trinity

---

 The Close to Home theme acknowledges the “already but not yet” tension of our faith: Emmanuel is with us, and yet, God’s promised day—our everlasting home—is not fully realized. It names our deep longing for God to come close to us.
The Advent and Christmas scriptures are rich with home metaphors and imagery. In these scriptures, home is both physical and metaphorical, something we seek and something we are called to build. In many ways, these scriptures are like blueprints—detailing the dreams of a God who makes a home with us. Ultimately, God is our home and resting place. God draws near and makes a home on earth; sacred ground is all around us.
This Advent, may we be comforted by the One who dwells intimately with us. May we expand safety and sanctuary for everyone wandering far from home. May we come home—wherever home is found—to live fully with joy, hope, and courage.

Sunday Worship

Every week we try to bring worship to your home live at 9:30 AM.  Sometimes, however, the internet and technology are not always playing nice.  At this time, YOU TUBE does not always work with our set-up!  Please join us for worship on Facebook.  A link to the video of the completed service on facebook will be posted no later than Mondays on Pastor Suzanne's page.

Our doors are open for in-person worship. 

​As you all know, the mask mandate in Pennsylvania has been lifted; however, businesses, schools, and organizations can still make decisions to keep masks in place. At Trinity's regular July council meeting it was decided that, for now, Trinity will keep the masks in place for all who are entering the building for worship. Doing so will keep us from monitoring who has been vaccinated and who has not been vaccinated, it helps eliminate any division and assumptions about who is or is not vaccinated and why, and it gives Trinity time to monitor positivity rates for just a little longer.

Please understand that we are doing this so that even our most vulnerable members are protected AND to help them feel comfortable attending worship (in person and not only online). Being careful (not fearful) has served Trinity well during the last 18 months and for that we are grateful. Lastly, always remember that the masks are not about the wearer but the other person.

When the world says “If you do not feel comfortable, stay home” the appropriate thing for the church to say is “Without you we are not whole.  We love you and will do what we can so you can feel loved, welcomed, and safe.” .  And so we do - including to all wear masks and to all be more aware of people's comfort or discomfort with physical closeness.

Thank you for understanding and please know that Council will take up this matter again - as it has done every month during the pandemic.
