WHAT GOES ON? HOW DO I GET CONNECTED? WHAT ABOUT CHILD CARE?

Busy people can become isolated and disconnected, and sometimes they become pretty empty inside. It's always easy to get lost in a crowd, to feel lonely even though you may be surrounded by worshippers on a given Sunday. You will be surprised at the joy of authentic community when you find a place to belong in a small group that fits your individual passions and needs. That's why Trinity has a Small Groups Ministry. We want everyone to have the opportunity to be known and cared for and to find their niche in ministry. People grow faster spiritually in a caring, interactive group where they can feel free to ask their real questions and sense the support of the group.
Groups will differ as people’s needs and interests differ. Whether curious and cautious or wholly committed, people connect with God and one another when a safe group accepts them for who they are. Lives are formed and transformed in small groups when people meet together to pray, to study, to engage in fellowship, or to work on a specific task.
WHAT GOES ON?  In a Small Group setting you can ask questions, participate in discussion, and hear others share insights of the truth you may be trying to grasp. The greatest benefit is the close friendships that develop. In praying together with others, we are drawn together and find answers to needs in our lives. Private concerns shared with your small group stay with your small group.  Small Groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change or stress. Your friends, believing and unbelieving, are always welcome in a safe environment.
HOW DO I GET CONNECTED?  You can contact the Trinity office (529-3228) at any time, Chuck Jostad, Minister of Discipleship, at 526-0592 chas@tupc.org or Pat Dugand, Elder for Small Groups Commission at 551-0587 pdugand@sbcglobal.net. You will be asked to fill out an interest form and you will be invited by a Small Group leader to attend a meeting within one week.
WHAT ABOUT CHILD CARE?  This issue is handled individually by each group. Some groups do not offer child care. Some may provide child care in another room of the meeting house, and some groups include children in the meeting. If child care is a concern for you, let us know so we can direct you to a group that can serve you best.
