Ministries at Trinity

The opportunities to serve, give, pray, study, worship and encourage others at Trinity are almost endless. Here are a few of the Ministries, Fundraisers and other happenings going on at Trinity from year-to-year.

YOUTH – Young people help define a big part of Trinity’s mission to (and with) the community. With over 125 young people (Preschool thru High School) connected to Trinity each year, they are a proclamation to the community that Trinity cares about kids! They also do more inviting of friends to worship, Sunday School and on trips than all other age groups combined! There are so many ways to share God’s love and grace with the Youth at Trinity – classes, tutoring, High School testing, service projects, trips, pizza and movie outings, summer camping programs, bigger summer trips (Denver, New York, Washington DC are a few we have taken)… otherwise, just get to know a young person at Trinity, volunteer to chaperone on a trip, or implement a whole idea!

Women’s Groups – Women have often provided the foundation of many Christian congregations, and Trinity is no exception. Here are a few of the ways in which the women of Trinity involve themselves in the life and outreach of this church:

WELCA – (Women of the ELCA) is really the over-arching organization of the various women’s groups at Trinity. They serve to organize and support the various ministries at women in the church participate in.

Abbie’s Angels – This “younger women’s group” serves primarily as a fundraising crew of dedicated, strong, thoughtful women in the congregation. They have raised tens of thousands of dollars over the years in support of women in need (mostly non-members of Trinity!).

Dorcas – A group that sews and puts together quilts and other needed items for people in need, the Dorcas group has been meeting longer than any other social outreach group at Trinity.

Miriam Bible Study – following the study offered in the Lutheran Women Today magazine, the Miriam study meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 1:30 PM. Organized called together by Pauline Baver these past number of years, the Miriam Bible Study is a faithful group of women who gather for an excellent, enthusiastic study of God’s word. Led by Pastor Rick most months, Miriam usually gathers with 10-20 women.

ACTION – Connected with LSSM (Lutheran Social Services of Michigan), the ACTION Group meets monthly to put together items that support the LSSM Group Homes in the area and beyond. See Peggy Dunn if you might be interested in learning more about this committed group of ladies.

Other Groups – Include sewing and quilting groups… the Exercise Group that meets each Monday and Thursday at 9 AM in the Community Hall… Garden groups, book studies, cooking classes – and others. Check the calendar for other details.
