LuMin (Lutheran Campus Ministry) is hosting a Shrove Tuesday pancake feed and is inviting Trinity to go and enjoy pancakes in a COVID safe way. Join the LuMin students on Tuesday, February 16 from 6–7 pm at the LuMin building (805 S Shields St, Fort Collins). This is a great way to start of Lent and meet some of the students involved with campus ministry. At the end of Lent (Easter Sunday) Trinity will host LuMin in another pancake feed. Sunday, April 4 from 7:30-8:30 am at Trinity, 301 E. Stuart Street. Lent will be different than it has been in years past, and we are finding new ways to celebrate campus Ministry and Lent even during COVID. We are better together!

Meeting ID:
On Sunday, February 28, the Sunday of the joint 301 Faith Partners shared service, the guest speaker at Trinity’s 9 am Adult Forum will be the Executive Director of the Tri-Faith Initiative, Wendy Goldberg. The Tri-Faith Commons is the only place of its kind in the world that brings together a synagogue, church, mosque, and interfaith center on 38-acres in Omaha, Nebraska.
Tri-Faith is a national model and center for interfaith learning, collaboration, and celebration. It’s especially relevant to our own “tri-faith initiative” here at 301 E. Stuart Street (301 Faith Partners) as we seek to find ways to do ministry together while maintaining our own unique identities. Ms. Goldberg will discuss their history, their challenges and successes, and their vision for the future. In addition, there will be time for questions and discussion.
All three, congregations St. Paul’s, Mary of Magdala, and Trinity are encouraged and welcomed to join in for this special event before worship together.

When does weather cancel church?
Trinity does not have an official cancellation policy, but the rule of the thumb that leadership has agreed upon is that weekly church events will be canceled when Poudre School District delays or cancels events. On the weekends, worship will not be canceled. As always, use your best judgment in poor weather conditions, and know that you are still loved by God if you miss Bible Study, Choir, or Worship. We will post cancellations to our website, facebook page, and a mass email to all of you.
