BIBLE STUDIES AND SMALL GROUPS
We welcome you to join us for a small group or Bible study. Trinity offers a variety of studies and groups throughout the year. Some of the studies are noted to be for those who are unfamiliar with Biblical text, other studies will be noted for those seeking a deeper understanding of the scriptures. Small groups will vary in topic and some groups will be developed to meet the requests of certain ages or demographics. No matter where you are in journey in life and spirit, we welcome you at Trinity and invite you to continue your journey with us.

SHORT-TERM STUDY
Invitation to the New Testament is a 9-week study that explores how the new Testament writers and the early Christian community wrestled with the coming of Jesus--his life, actions, mission, death, and resurrection--and the implications of his arrival for their lives and the communities of faith. The question asked is “Who is Jesus and what is his significance for our lives?” Participants are invited to join this conversation, to study afresh this story of Jesus, and to learn more about their calling to discipleship and to community. Cost of the study is $15.00. Classes are 1 1/2 hours each. Classes will begin on Tuesday, August 30, at 9:30 a.m. led by Patricia Moore. CLICK HERE to register for this class.
