Join a small group of Trinity's women on Tuesday mornings for a time of fellowship and prayer. We meet online every week at 5:30 AM during the school year and 6:00 AM during the summer. For details, contact Lauren Everhart.
Being a mother is a difficult, all-encompassing calling. We have many families at Trinity, particularly families with young children. As such, we started Moms Coffee + Conversation (MC2) as a forum where moms can be in fellowship and discuss (or not discuss) the challenges that they face and receive spiritual counsel and encouragement.
MC2 happens every other month, hosted by a Trinity family generous enough to open up their home to the mothers of the church. Some snacks and drinks are provided, though we often ask attendees to bring refreshments to add to the spread. The goal is create an atmosphere where our mothers can enjoy rich fellowship, ask hard questions, and receive loving support from their sisters in Christ.
We occasionally have a program -- a guest speaker or one of our members speaking to a specific topic (educational choices, parenting techniques, and more). These topics can be helpful and stimulate conversation, but we encourage mothers to come with fellowship and rest in mind.
While location and timing varies, these events usually occur from 7-9 PM. For news of the next MC2, check our events or calendar page.
Join us September 19-21* for a weekend of study, song and fellowship! *Option to arrive on Thursday, September 18, for added time of rest and fellowship.
This year, Allison Clapp will be leading us through Richard Sibbes's "The Bruised Reed."

Isaiah 42:3 "A bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice."

Women's Fellowship Nights are informal times of fellowship that occur every other month, hosted in homes by women of the church. Some snacks and drinks are provided, though we often ask attendees to bring refreshments to add to the spread. The goal is to create an atmosphere where women can have true community among Christian sisters, knowing their days can be spiritually and physically challenging, as well as emotionally draining.
These evening events are child-free.
We recognize that our men are called to serve God, the church, and their family. As leaders in their household and in the church, men frequently shoulder burdens on behalf of others. As a result, our men need rest, while others need encouragement. Some may need advice, or simply an opportunity to engage with other men familiar with their circumstances. At Men's Fellowship Night, we aim to provide all of these things.
Men's Fellowship Night happens on a monthly basis, hosted by a Trinity family generous enough to open up their home to the men of the church. Some snacks and drinks are provided, though we encourage men to contribute beverages (alcoholic beverages are generally welcome) to share. When the weather permits, there may be a bonfire as well as cigars. The goal is create an atmosphere where men can have true community among Christian brothers.
We occasionally have a program -- a guest speaker or one of our members teaching a lesson. These are usually only a portion of the evening, as we want to stress building friendship and brotherhood at these events more than any particular doctrine.
While location and timing varies, these events usually begin around 8 pm and continue late to the evening. Men should come prepared to be outdoors, particularly if the weather is reasonably good. For news of the next Men's Fellowship Night, check our events or calendar page.
The sheets below give information on 4s-1st and 2nd-5th Sunday School classes, along with the memory verses and catechism questions/answers for the month. The current month is bolded, but we maintain an archive of past sheets for reference as well. The Sunday School teachers also distribute these sheets to students each month.
To encourage our children to hide God’s Word in their hearts and learn the tenets of our Reformed faith, we maintain a Memory Prize System that rewards children who can recite verses and catechism answers at church on a weekly basis.
Any child up through 5th grade can participate in the prize box system. Participation is not mandatory, but all children through 5th grade are welcome.
Points each month can be earned by:
Each verse, catechism, and sermon page for the month will be worth 1 point (9 or 10 points possible per month). Students will receive a sticker each Sunday that they recite their verse/catechism or turn in their sermon sheet.
Alexis Zintak and Esther Doolan will be taking turns with this responsibility. Every month we will send out an email with the catechisms and memory verses and also note who will be handling prizes that month.
Students can receive stickers for reciting verses/catechisms and turning in sermon sheets to Alexis or Esther:
On the last Sunday of the month only, students will be able to turn in their points for prizes. Students are also welcome to save their points to earn a larger prize the next month.
TPC provides Young Worshipper in Training (YWIT) twice a month during a portion of the worship service. While many churches offer a full service for children each week, we want children worshipping with their families routinely. Families are not required to use YWIT, and we do not view children as a nuisance in the service. On the contrary, we value children (even infants) participating simply by being exposed to corporate worship with their families.
YWIT is currently offered on the first and third Sundays of each month. YWIT is intended for children at least 3 years old but not yet 6. After the children's message, parents should quietly escort their children to the 4s–1st grade Sunday School classroom. YWIT volunteers will return children to the sanctuary after the sermon. Parents should tell children to find their seats quietly.
The primary purpose of YWIT is to train children to worship well and understand our liturgical practices. While children benefit from worshiping alongside their parents, YWIT provides an opportunity to engage children with tailored material that increases their understanding of our spiritual practices. The YWIT liturgy mirrors the adult service, including children’s hymns, Scripture memorization, a catechism, and a Bible lesson. YWIT volunteers lead children through this material, teaching them what these activities signify and why we do them.
YWIT also provides an opportunity to engage our children in a manner that increases multi-generational interaction. Members who teach YWIT are helping raise the next generation of Christians in accordance with their membership vows, and for some, this is an excellent introduction to spiritual instruction or a model for family worship with children.
