As many of you may or may not know, the church phone has been directed to ring in my home during this time when all the church buildings are closed and locked. I have received the usual calls for assistance and I either redirect the calls or reassure them that Trinity will take care of their needs; be it, rent, electric bill, prescriptions, etc. since so many are out of work.
What I am also receiving is calls from Trinity parishioners who are home self-quarantined and are reaching out – How can I help? I have known some of you for 30 years now and this has always been your response to issues such as these. I am awed and overwhelmed by your generosity and concern for others. Thanks, one and all for your reaction to this crisis, it’s an honor and privilege to worship and serve with you.
Since our Food Pantry is closed, I have suggested that you call Seven Loaves. The Seven Loaves Food Pantry is located on the lower floor of the Middleburg Methodist Church at 15 W. Washington Street, Middleburg , Virginia 20117. Entry is from the parking lot at Pendleton and Federal Streets, at the rear of the church.
Please give them a call 540 687-3489 and see what help you could assist them with. Tommy Breeden and I take food from Trinity’s Food Pantry (very cautiously) to Seven Loaves every week. Many thanks again to you all, I miss you like crazy and cannot wait till we are together again.
