Parish Life

One of the wonderful things about being a member of Trinity is that we are truly a community. We worship together; in our ministries we work alongside one another; and when challenges present themselves, we’ve gotten pretty good at crafting solutions together.
We’re friends. That’s why besides the many planned activities and events on our calendar, we also make time just for being together:
BALLROOM DANCING Top Hat Ballroom Dancing offers lessons for beginners through advanced. Beginners classes meet Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., with the advanced classes following at 7:30 p.m. Cost per class is $10. Contact: Gail Patton at 304.412.3171 or gpatton@tophatballroom.com Paul Patton at 304.638.0139 BRIDGE CLUB Mondays and Wednesdays from Noon until 4:00 p.m., this long-time group of friends get together for some spirited card-playing. While most of the group are intermediate to advanced players, occasionally the club will provide lessons for those new to the game. Contact: Bill Shaffer at 304.733.4349 FIRST-SUNDAY BRUNCHES At 9:15 on the first Sunday of the month, between our two Sunday morning worship services, we gather in the dining hall for a pot-luck brunch. It’s a great chance to catch up with family and friends. If there is special church business that parishioners need to know about, we’ll sometimes have a special presentation.

FOYER GROUPS
From September through June, members of the congregation gather once a month in groups of 8 to 10 for informal dinners at each other’s homes. These “foyer groups” give us a chance to share a meal and fellowship. The deeper friendships that are forged in these small groups, in turn, help bring the whole congregation together. Contact: The Church Office at 304.529.6084 HOME-VISIT BRIGADE From time to time members fall ill, or have surgery that will mean being temporarily limited in how much they are able to do. Members of the Daughters of the King, the Altar Guild, and other groups organize meal delivery, errand-running, and short visits to help keep the patient’s spirits up! Contact: The Church Office at 304.529.6084 PAINTING CLASSES Whether you’re an experienced painter or just starting out, this wonderful class will stretch you artistically and get your creative juices flowing. Instructor Patti Del Checcolo, a well-known Tri-State area artist, has designed the class so that it’s suitable for all skill levels. The class meets Monday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. Cost is $10 per student. Call before you come: Patti’s number is 740.377.9530. Contact: Patti Del Checcolo at 740.377.9530. PICNICS During the warmer months of the year we might have a picnic or barbeque at the drop of a hat. They’re usually held in the open area in back of the church, right across the alley from the church parking lot. Members of all ages chow down on hotdogs and hamburgers, potato salad, green salad, and home-baked goodies of all kinds. Contact: The Church Office at 304.529.6084 YOGA A small but devoted group meets Monday evenings at 5:30 for an hour of yoga. Led by instructor Susie Ferguson, a Trinity parishioner, this free class is designed to appeal to all skill levels. You’ll need to bring your own yoga mat. Contact: Susie Ferguson at 304.633.4953 CELEBRATION OF SPECIAL OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH YEAR These are always especially festive occasions like, for example, the Mardi Gras dinner we hold to mark Shrove Tuesday. |
