Wheelchair Ministry Volunteers: Are you able and willing to give 1-2 hours on Saturday, December 7 to help clear space for a new wheelchair ministry that Trinity is coordinating in partnership with Hope Haven? We will meet at 9am in the old NAPA Auto building (308 8th St. SW) across from Taco Johns.

Uganda Summer Trip Meeting: There will be an informational meeting about our summer trip to Uganda on Sunday, December 8 at 9:30 & 10:50 in Adult Rooms 3&4. These meetings are open to anyone who would like to hear more about the trip. (Attending the meeting is not a commitment to going.) 

Contemplative Advent Worship: We hope you will join us for contemplative worship with communion throughout the season of Advent. Every Sunday at 4pm we’ll gather in the sanctuary to engage in a more intimate, reflective time of worship. We’ll engage the mystery of the incarnation, God with us, through liturgy, prayer, singing, scripture, and the Lord’s supper. We invite you to join us whenever you are available.
