Our Wednesday Morning Women’s Study Group starts a new study on September 11th. Women of the Torah: Matriarchs and Heroes of Israel is part of Stephen J. Binz’s Ancient-Future Bible Study series.
Ancient-Future Bible Study incorporates contemporary study of the Bible with an experience of the church’s most ancient way of reading Scripture, lectio divina. This time-honored practice consists of five basic movements: biblical study (lectio), reflection (meditatio), prayer (oratio), discernment (contemplatio), and contemplative action (operatio). In six clearly written volumes, bestselling author Stephen Binz helps readers study the Bible in a way that leads to spiritual transformation and brings them closer to God.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Sue Mulvin for a book.
Our Women’s Bible Study Group meets Wednesday mornings at 9:30, beginning September 11th.
Fall 2019 Growth Groups run September 8 – November 23
Signups begin on August 18
What is a Growth Group?
Growth Groups are groups of 8 to 12 adults who meet once a week to fellowship, study God’s Word, and support one another through prayer. The groups also commit to serve together in the community at least once during the semester.
Why does our Church believe Growth Groups are so important?
Our mission behind Growth Groups is to help us grow in relationships with one another and with Christ. We find these small gatherings of people to be primary in our church mission of making and growing disciples who give their lives to make a difference in the world.
How long is the Fall semester?
Fall 2019 Growth Groups will begin meeting the week of September 8th and will meet for a total of 10-12 weeks. The semester will end the week of November 23rd.
Where and when do the Growth Groups meet?
The Growth Groups generally meet at members’ homes. The hosts’ addresses are provided at the sign-up table. The Fall 2019 times and hosts are as follows:
Sunday Growth Groups:
Monday Growth Groups:
Other Growth Groups:
How do I sign up?
Sign-ups are held for two-three weeks prior to the start up of the semester. The sheets are located in church lobby. Fall 2019 sign-ups begin Sunday, August 18.
What will the groups study?
Groups will be doing a sermon/scripture-based study. You will listen to the sermon on Sunday (or online during the week if you can’t make it to church) and discuss it and the scripture at your Growth Group meeting.
Will childcare be provided?
Some groups have childcare provided. See the description for each group for more information.

We can even include a logo on some bricks. Samples of some of the available logos are available with the order forms. Order forms are available in the church office.

As a church within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we follow the Presbyterian pattern of church government which vests governing authority primarily in elected members known as elders. We also elect members to the Office of Deacon whose ministry roll is one of compassion and service. In that pattern, we at Trinity elect members to the offices of Elder and Deacon for three-year terms and are now initiating that annual process by accepting nominations for these offices for the Class of 2023.
Ruling elders and deacons are men and women elected by the congregation from among its members. The nomination and election of ruling elders and deacons shall express the rich diversity of the congregation’s membership and shall guarantee participation and inclusiveness (F-1.0403). Ruling elders and deacons shall be nominated by a committee elected by the congregation, drawn from and representative of its membership. Congregations may provide by their own rule for a congregational nominating committee, provided that the committee shall consist of at least three active members of the congregation, and shall include at least one ruling elder who is currently serving on the session. The pastor shall serve ex officio and without vote. When elections are held, full opportunity shall always be given to the congregation for nomination from the floor of the congregational meeting by any active member of the congregation. A majority of all the active members present and voting shall be required to elect. (Book of Order, G-2.0401)
The Nominating Committee would like members of the Congregation to prayerfully consider nominees for the Office of Elder and Deacon for the Class of 2023. You may download a copy of the nominating form here or pick one up in the church office. Nominations will be accepted by the Committee through August 11.
Our indoor Summer Sports Camps are run by Triumph Sports and are Christ-centered camps that use sports as a means to spread the Gospel. At camp, every child will learn memory verses with stories in the Bible acted out by our staff to keep kids engaged in the material. Some of the stories are Daniel & the Lion’s Den, David & Goliath, Joseph, Noah, and many more. They are fun, engaging, and combined with a memory verse are extremely memorable to the kids.
Camps are for boys and girls ages 5 -12, and run from Monday through Thursday. Each child receives a free t-shirt and all equipment is provided by Triumph Sports. Please bring a snack and water bottle for your child each day. For questions about camps and registration, please contact Triumph Sports.
