Life at Trinity

Growing disciples of Christ who know God, love God, and serve God...

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORSHIP & PRAYER

“Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat!”  So says our God, according to the prophet Isaiah (55: 1-9).  As the Lenten season makes clear, we struggle to find our way to the waters; we live our lives centered around the almighty dollar.  Yet if we do as God invites—“Listen carefully to me… incline your ear, and come to me; listen…”—we may yet still uncover the life God intends for us to live!

On this third Sunday of Lent, we will also celebrate the sacrament of our Lord’s Supper on this first Sunday of the month, that we may be nourished by Christ’s eternal gifts of love and grace. 


OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH & FELLOWSHIP

Sunday school for children and youth is a vital means of growing disciples who understand the depths of God's love for us.  To learn more about Trinity's exciting Christian Education program, please click here

Sunday morning Adult Education enables adult disciples to grow in their understanding of all the blessings and responsibilities faith imparts.  For more information, please click here

Small Groups - Have an interest you'd like to share?  Have a question you'd like to explore?  Desiring deeper fellowship?  Feeling called to use your gifts in significant ways?  Click here to explore Trinity's Small Group Ministry.

Women At The Well (WATW) - All women of the church (members & visitors alike) are invited to join in the rich fellowship of Trinity's women's group, which meets every second and fourth Sunday of the month followship worship.  WATW enjoys fun, creative, and spiritually formative events throughout the year, including retreats, trips, dinners, and other celebrations. 


OPPORTUNITIES FOR CARING & SERVICE

FISH (a local network of Family Promise's Interfaith Hospitality Network) - Trinity has recently covenanted to become a "host" church for the FISH (IHN) network, which seeks to help situationally homeless families find sustainable employment and housing.  What a blessing it is to be able to offer the gifts of our time and space to this powerful ministry (which has an 80% success rate)!  As such, 4 times a year Trinity hosts up to 14 guests (all of whom are rigorously screened families with children or single women) for one week, providing shelter, food, and companionship during their stay.  Trinity's is next hosting FISH the week of December 13-19.  To learn more about FISH and IHN, please click here.  To explore how you can actively help to fight poverty and homelessness throughout Trinity's participation in FISH, please see Trinity's FISH coordinators, Debbie O'Halloran and Susan Kaczmarek.

Serving Soup - Trinity has prepared and served meals at Elijah's Promise Soup Kitchen for over 10 years. Join the 10-12 people who give to those in need - 2nd Wednesday each month. We either depart the Church parking lot at 4:30 PM in a car pool or meet at the Kitchen. There, we prepare the food and serve around 150 men, women and children. Call Bob Sullivan or see any member of Mission. Some of the Trinity volunteers enjoy a fellowship afterwards at a local diner.

Sing & Share - Trinity and St. Bart's host a sing-along the third Friday at Sunrise Assisted Care, Summerhill Rd. at 7 PM. Join us in a travel down memory lane as we sing favorite show tunes from the mid-20th century. Residents enjoy some refreshments and fellowship afterwards.  Please join us - no special voice requirements needed. Contact Dottie Spengel.

Donate Clothing - The Mission Commission is collecting career clothing in new or gently used condition for donation to the New Brunswick based Hire Attire, a center that provides adult hands-on retails sales experience, combined with work related skills, diploma preparation, workplace readiness skills and job placement experience. Other organizations who provide job placement as well, issue scrip for purchase of the clothing at Hire Attire.  Please help the clients of the many organizations gain employment in the work force.  Please call the Church Office if you have any suitable work clothing.


PASTOR'S THOUGHTS

Dear friends,

This year alone, Trinity’s Sunday school enrollment has grown by 50%, and creative programs are abounding every Sunday morning! The Nursery is bursting at the seams during worship; we may even need to consider additional spaces due to its growth!  The youth group has grown in faith and commitment, endeavoring mission trips, retreats, and more!  Adult education continues taking significant steps, with three Sunday morning tracks offered, not counting all the many educational Small Groups (have you been to The Well lately?).

While Trinity certainly has many, many gifted and faithful people to thank for all this (and our God!), including amazing teachers and inspiring...More

VERSE OF THE DAY Provided by The International Bible Society

Philippians 2:14-18
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me. Philippians 2:14-18 NIV Listen
