Adult Formation and Small Groups

Community is how we live out the truth that every person has a share in God’s love—a love that is inclusive, unconditional, abundant, and meant to be expressed through action in the world. In community, we fully include everyone, support one another, grow together, and become a living reflection of God’s divine love in all we do. Explore opportunities at Trinity for spiritual growth in community through our Formation programs. Join small groups, classes, and ministries that deepen faith and foster connection.

Centering Prayer

All are invited to come together in the Chapel to practice Centering Prayer. We will gather, prepare our hearts and minds for our time of prayer, “sit” for 20 minutes, share some brief reflections, and close. No prior knowledge or experience is required. Please join us!

Elders’ Group: YOLO (You Only Live Once)

YOLO is a group of older parishioners (aged 70+) who meet Tuesdays on Zoom to share memories, feelings, ideas, and opinions unique to this stage of life. Participants ensure that: a) all points of view are respected, b) what is shared stays within the group, and c) every person has an opportunity to speak.

Labyrinth Guild

We are blessed here at Trinity to have an outdoor labyrinth available at all times to the parish, and to the wider community. A group is currently forming with a goal of creating around the spiritual practice of walking the labyrinth. The group will provide education about this ancient prayer practice through workshops and public events as appropriate.
