Regular devotion time is one of the spiritual practices we highly recommend. Whether you use one of our recommended devotions or one you find on your own, we encourage you to take the intentional time to focus, especially during this holy season of Lent.
We are providing a daily devotion by Society of St. Andrew, a Virginia-based gleaning and feeding ministry that helps feed the hungry with fresh food left in the fields after harvesting. The devotion is available in hard-copy at the church and also at www.endhunger.org
On Sunday, March 10, Trinity will be hosting a Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event. We will stage two meal packaging sessions at 11 AM and 12:15 PM. For these sessions and to reach our goal of packaging 10,152 meals we will need 100 volunteers. We will also need volunteers to unload the truck and then reload the truck after the meal packing is done. Be sure to sign up for a session, so we are sure to have enough for each session and for working with the set-up and clean-up.
On Sunday, February 11, we will celebrate the scouting ministries hosted at Trinity, as well as recognize the long-standing connection between scouts and the United Methodist Church. Pack 799 will participate in the 9am worship service.
The season of Lent is upon us, and we extend an invitation to the Trinity congregation to attend the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner and the Newlywed Game on Tuesday, February 13.
This event will be held in Trinity Hall. A pancake dinner will be served by the Outreach Class from 5:15-6:15 PM, $5 per person, $10 per couple, $15 family maximum. The menu consists of pancakes, bacon, baked apples, and beverages.
Following the pancake dinner, please plan to stay for “The Newlywed Game”! (The next day is Valentine’s Day after all!) Our emcee is the renowned entertainer Mr. Ken Hart!
Based on the game show that ran from 1966 – 2013, we will put our couples to the test of how well they know one another. Come and be a part of the fun!! So that the Outreach cooks can properly prepare for the dinner, please signup below.
Join us on December 21, 2023, at 6:00pm, in the chapel for our Longest Night Service.
Our Longest Night service acknowledges that Christmas can bring feelings of sadness, pain, and loneliness for those who have lost a loved one, struggle with feelings of despair and disappointment, faced life after divorce or separation, coped with the loss of a job, received an unwelcome diagnosis, or experienced other forms of loss. The service takes place just prior to the Winter solstice, a natural phenomenon that ushers in the longest, darkest night of the year, symbolic of the “dark night of the soul” that often precedes our Christmas hope.
This service will be reflective, a time for us to join together and acknowledge the range of emotions this season can bring. Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on your journey, you are welcome to join us for this service of prayer and reflection, as we remember together Jesus’ promise. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Trinity’s choir (and friends) will present a service of Lessons & Carols on Sunday, December 10 at 4:00PM in our beautiful Sanctuary. This year’s program will feature several guest musicians and vocalists as well as Trinity’s handbell choir. A reception with a live Jazz ensemble will follow, featuring special guest musicians from VCUarts.
The traditional “Lessons & Carols” service traces its roots to Victorian England, where it was inaugurated at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge. The service includes select scripture readings and carols that tell the Christmas story with grace and power. We hope that you and your loved ones will join us for this most meaningful service.
