Encouragement. It is a small gathering of 6 - 12 people that meet regularly to ‘do

life’ together. It is an effective way for everyone to feel personally connected to the

church community and to learn and grow our faith in an intimate and supportive

environment. Some of these groups break for the summer but contact the leader of

the group to see when they resume. ALL WELCOME - Interested? Call Dave Bandy!

witnesses our trek in the dark - we declare together that

“Everybody matters. Everybody belongs. And yes, we need

each other.” feel a hint of the challenge faced

by those experiencing homelessness during winter The Coldest Night

of the Year is a family-friendly walk that raises money for charities serving hungry,

homeless, and hurting people in our community. Walk with us! We need a team

captain from Trinity to recruit walkers & fundraise. The funds

raised go to NeighbourLink. Trinity is a member church that supports NeighbourLink, a

local agency that offers a variety of services that support those in need. Please speak to

Rachel if you are willing to captain a team to support a needed cause!
