Fellowship Opportunities
The Christian faith may be a personal one, but it is also a public one. We cannot truly grow as Christians unless we are connected to the Body of Christ through fellowship with others who share our faith. Holy Trinity makes available a number of opportunities for this fellowship. For more information on any of these opportunities, contact Jean Jolly, Parish and Clergy Secretary, at 272-6149 ext. 36 or jean@holy-trinity.com.
Episcopal Church Women (ECW)
The Holy Trinity ECW offers a variety of opportunities for fellowship and service. Six chapters meet monthly during the program year for fellowship and spiritual development, and they are open to every woman in the parish. Each chapter chooses its own course of study for the year and meets on the second Monday or Tuesday of the month. Special events and fundraisers are also sponsored by the entire ECW throughout the year.
Evenings for Women
The women of the church are invited to gather in the Haywood Duke Room on the third Monday of each month for fellowship, a fine meal and wine, and an interesting program. Fellowship begins at 6:30 p.m., and dinner is served at 7 p.m.
Foyer Groups
Foyer Groups of eight to twelve people meet five or six times throughout the program year for supper in members’ homes. This is an opportunity for socializing, sharing and dining with a few fellow members of our church community in one another’s homes. The meals are great and the fellowship is wonderful! We especially need people who are willing to host the first group supper. New groups form each fall.
Friendship Day
Friendship Day brings together a non-denominational group of 75 older citizens who meet at First Presbyterian Church for speakers, choirs and piano recitals, travel experiences, and meditations. (Our own John Akers leads the meditations twice each month.) Friendship Day meets every Thursday from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. Come at 9:30 a.m. if you are interested in participating in gentle exercise led by a professional; you will enjoy it and feel renewed at the same time. Lunch is available each week for a modest fee.
Holy Trinity Men’s Club
The Men’s Club meets in the Haywood Duke Room for fellowship, dinner and a speaker on the first Monday of the month. We gather at 6 p.m., with dinner served at 6:30 p.m.
Joyful Noise Jazz Club
Come celebrate the early days of jazz! The Joyful Noise Jazz Club has access to some 16,000 historical recordings of the original groups and bands that helped to launch the jazz era. Swing, ragtime, blues, and marching band music are also played. The club meets the first Thursday of each month in Roe Library from 7:30–8:45 p.m. All music lovers are invited to come!
Knit One, Pray Too
?Our prayer and knitting ministry meets the first Monday of the month from 2–4 p.m. in Smyth Library. A collaborative ministry of Holy Trinity and Healing Ground, Knit One, Pray Too makes prayer shawls for those in our community who face difficulty in their lives. Materials are provided, and all levels of knitters are most welcome.
Mystery and Theology
The Mystery and Theology book club meets monthly, usually on the first Monday, to discuss mysteries with a religious bent. All mystery lovers are welcome!
TWIGS (Those With Infinitely Greater Sense)
Open to all those 60 years of age and "moving forward," TWIGS meets each Wednesday at 4 p.m. for lively Bible study and discussion. Please join us for an hour of spiritual growth and camaraderie in Roe Library, followed by dinner in the Haywood Duke Room.
Wednesday Night Suppers
During the program year, supper is served each Wednesday night. These family-friendly meals are made by our own San Pasquale Kitchen Ministry and are served at a cost of $7 per person, with a family cap of $25. Children under five eat free. Take a break from cooking, bring the family, and enjoy the fellowship of your church community. Served from 5:30–7 p.m. in the Haywood Duke Room.
