In appreciation for his 32 years of ministry, you are invited to participate in a love offering for Charles as he retires. To do so you can either write a check to Trinity and put love offering in the memo or you can go to https://www.trinityrva.net/give/ and give online.
We are excited to bring to Trinity “Tables of Eight” this September! “Tables of Eight” is an organized supper club of sorts. We will have an organizing event on Sunday, October 2. After this first event, we hope each group will meet every month/6 weeks in each other’s homes for dinner.
Singles as well as couples are welcome to participate. At each gathering, the host is to provide the main course, everyone else brings a side dish or dessert to share.
The intent of “Tables of Eight” is for the participants to get to know each other – no study is involved, and informality is key.
The deadline to sign up for “Tables of Eight” is Tuesday, September 27 so we can get the groups organized. Persons may sign up by emailing Judy Oguich (joguich@trinityrva.net) with “Tables of Eight” in the subject line. Questions? Contact Judy Oguich or Jen Williams.
Our modern worship leader, Aaron Miller, is heading up a Lectio Divina group over the summer. Lectio Divina is an intentional Scripture study method that involves reading, reflection, and prayer. This is a great opportunity to reflect and grow together.
This is a ZOOM group that meets Tuesday evenings from 7 to 8, and is open to all. Contact the church for more information!
On Tuesday, September 13, we invite the congregations from River Road Church Baptist, Third Church, and St. Matthew Episcopal to join us at Trinity United Methodist for the start of our second season of Community Conversations.
Community Conversations is simply a conversation/interview with an invited guest from the Richmond community. The first forty five minutes features scripted questions, and the last fifteen minutes is reserved for questions from the audience.
For September 13 our guests will be the senior pastors from each church: Daniel Glaze from River Road Church Baptist, Corey Widmer from Third Church, Brian Siegle from Trinity United Methodist, and Steve Schlossberg from St. Matthews. We look forward to learning a bit about each pastor, their congregations, and how each church is positioned in our community.
Program starts at 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary at Trinity, and concludes at 8 p.m. The program is live and also broadcast virtually. Immediately following this first program, you are invited to attend an ice cream social in the Welcome Center.
We hope you will join us for an opportunity to learn and enjoy some fellowship.
If you are looking to be a part of our community, come journey with Rev. Hung Su. Meetings are Sunday mornings in August, at 10am, in the library (on the third floor).
