caring
Bringing a sense of community and belonging through visitation, meals, prayer and support — wherever life's transitions take you.
“Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ [to love your neighbor].”
Galatians 6:2
congregational care ministry
Jesus commands us to care for one another and, through the Holy Spirit, empowers us to bring the love of Christ wherever we go. The goal of Trinity's Congregational Care Ministry is to bring a sense of community and belonging to members by encouraging and supporting them as they experience life transitions, acute or chronic health issues, grief, and other challenges.
quilters
Every other Monday from 9am to noon in the Art Room, a faithful group ties and sews quilts for those experiencing homelessness, chemical dependency treatment, and other local and global partners in need.

Jesus understood the depths of suffering and showed deep compassion for those sick in mind, body, and spirit. As followers of Christ, especially as Lay Ministers in the Visitation Ministry, we are called to extend this same compassion to others. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Trinity's Lay Ministers bring encouragement and belonging through visits that include prayer, reflection, listening, and Holy Communion.
meal ministry
Through the guidance of the pastors, the Meal Ministry Team helps coordinate meals for an individual or family going through a challenging time who would benefit from not having to prepare a meal themselves. Meals are provided during pastoral or lay minister visits, or through a staff member.

CareNotes are short inspirational booklets on topics like Aging and Dementia, Grief and Loss, Family Issues, Loss of a Pet, and Bullying, meant to help individuals heal in mind, body, and spirit. CareNotes for adults are at the Sign Up Center at the north end of the Narthex; CareNotes for kids and teens are on the lower level just inside Door C. Take one and take heart; give one and give hope.
prayer
All members of Trinity are called to pray for one another, and the Congregational Care Ministry team is active in praying for the needs of the church. We encourage members and non-members alike to submit prayer requests — our community will surround you in prayer.
prayer shawls
Every third Tuesday of the month at 12:30pm, a faithful group of knitters and crocheters show prayerful concern to people in need of care, healing, support, and love by making shawls and chemo caps — a tangible, comforting sign of our church community's support.
