WELCOME TO TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH! We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us this morning.
*TODAY*
FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Today, Sunday, July 5, 2020, Pastor Stephen Smith-Cobbs will lead
us in worship and offer the sermon entitled “Resting in Jesus” based
on the scripture lesson from the Gospel According to Matthew 11:16-
19, 25-30 . We will continue to worship together via the online link sent
in our weekly Mailchimp and also celebrate together the sacrament of
Holy Communion.
Communion will be served in our own homes as it was done in the early church.
Break the bread you have. Share the cup you have. Trust that the Lord is in the
midst of this.
ONLINE COFFEE TIME
Plan to stay “zoomed in” following the worship service and participate in
our virtual coffee time together. Bring your own coffee or beverage and
stick around to greet your fellow worshippers, welcome new viewers and
just connect for awhile longer.

*WAYS TO HELP* LINK AGAINST HUNGER
Trinity is a member of LINK. The LINK food panty
provides emergency food to families in need in
Herndon, Sterling, and Ashburn. The need for
food is exponentially greater than normal, and
LINK wants to extend whatever assistance it can
to those who are seeking help. LINK has practic-
es in place to reduce risk to volunteers and clients.
Opportunities to volunteer for LINK are listed at
this website link.
The LINK barrel is outside the church from
10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon on Tuesdays and Thurs-
days and 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sundays to receive
donations. All food items are needed, especially
hearty soups, canned meats (chicken, tuna, etc.),
jelly, peanut butter, canned vegetables (corn,
carrots, peas, potatoes — NOT green beans),
pasta sauce, diced canned tomatoes, canned pas-
ta (like Chef Boyardee), snack items for kids, bak-
ing products (oil, flour, sugar, etc.), toiletries
(deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap), toilet
paper and paper towels, and empty egg cartons!

HERNDON CARES UPDATE
As more people go back to work, Herndon
Cares will focus on those neighbors who contin-
ue to face grave food insecurity. These commu-
nity members will receive a monthly
#TakeoutTuesday dinner from local restaurants.
Herndon Cares will also use the universal expe-
rience of sharing food to encourage cross-
cultural relationships. While ongoing health con-
cerns will limit significant opportunities in the
near-term, eventually, #TakeoutTuesday will
grow into #TogetherTuesday, where community
members gather to enjoy food from local restau-
rants and to get to know each other. The next
#TakeoutTuesday is July 14.
Go to HerndonCares.org to:
Donate online to help reach the $100K goal
Share signup information with someone fac-
ing significant food insecurity
Provide hands-on support
CLEARVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
As Clearview Elementary School students receive
their weekday meals via bus, versus on site like
Herndon Elementary, Clearview is providing its
most vulnerable families with $25 gift cards from
local grocery stores. Trinity recently provided
some gift cards. If you would like to donate addi-
tional gift cards, please send a note to Renee
Maxwell at [email protected].
