Worship 12/7/25
NurturE
Open Doors Executive Director Nate Riddle will be with us on December 7 to share more information about the Navigation Center and ways we can continue to help support this mission. They have experienced some challenges and changes. Come learn more!
Mark Dewey will lead a book study this season. The book will be announced soon. Centering Space will lead a Nurture series on neurodiversity in the church. That study will begin on Sunday, January 18, and will take place after worship in the sanctuary.
Advent Devotionals
Our Advent Devotionals have arrived! Two Advent calendars are available, as well. One includes prompts for breath prayers each day, and the other is a coloring activity with an optional accompanying guide for parents/caregivers to use with children. If you need a devotional and/or calendar mailed to you, or if you would like them put in your box at church, let Christabell know. Otherwise, copies will be available outside of the church office and as you enter the sanctuary.
Christmas Flowers
It is time to order flowers for the sanctuary! If you
would like to adopt one in honor or memory of loved ones, $18 will cover the cost. You can also choose to direct your gift in honor or memory to go to New Bridges. Checks can be designated for either purpose. Please fill out the form online or fill out a physical copy of this form in the office, or send the information for memorial or honorary gifts to Christabell in the church office. We will be placing orders for flowers by December 17th.
A Christmas Carol
As a Matthew 25 Congregation, we are charged to confront racism and work to abolish it. Learning about and working with the local NAACP chapter is a beginning step in this direction. The NAACP Gala on Dec 13th is an opportunity to do this.
There are 6 tickets available free of charge… on a first come, first serve basis. They will be in the Church Office after November 8th. If you want to claim one (or more), contact Mary Lou McMillin. (On a personal note, I joined the NAACP last spring. I will be out of town for the Gala but would love to fill this table with Trinity folk. - Mary Lou)

LONGEST NIGHT SERVICE
Christmas Eve SERVICE
Wednesday, December 24th, all are invited for our Christmas Eve service at 5 pm. We will celebrate communion and end with candlelight, and while children are always welcome in worship, we find this gathering time to be particularly age-inclusive in the midst of other celebrations.
New Drivers are Always Welcome at Valley Area Network Immigrant Transportation Assistance
VANITA is a volunteer and non-profit Harrisonburg area network of people and organizations to provide our immigrant neighbors transportation to and from required legal check-ins, court appearances, medical appointments and accompaniments. It is a ministry of Trinity Presbyterian Church along with members of other faith communities and area volunteers. It will receive immigrant transportation referrals through responsible area organizations (New Bridges immigration lawyer, Harrisonburg Schools, Skyline Literacy, COSPU and Church World Service). It will recruit, train and coordinate volunteer drivers to address the transportation needs to and from the required appointment as best it can. It will not charge for this transportation service, and will notify the immigrant riders that in receiving this free service, he/she waives all present or future liabilities which may be incurred by accepting this free service. It will receive tax deductible financial donations for this service from the community and from immigrant riders which could be used for gas and other related expenses at https://www.trinitypresbyterianharrisonburg.org/give-online.
