COMMUNITY & CARE
At Trinity, our communal life encompasses the good work done by clergy, staff, and lay leaders who provide connection, care, and growth within our community. Through hospitality, caring for others, and sharing life experiences we live into a call to seek and build the Body of Christ at 33rd and Meridian
COMMUNITY
Celebration Coffee Hour
Celebration Coffee Hour is a time to celebrate special religious holidays (All Saints, Easter, etc.) and to give thanks to all those who pass through our doors. Trinity groups, families, and friends take turns hosting the monthly event to share hospitality.
Gardening Guild
Trinity is blessed with two beautiful garden spaces and lush grounds. The Gardening Guild takes care of Trinity’s green spaces as a testament to God’s creation here at 33rd and Meridian.
PASTORAL CARE
The ministry of caring is at the heart of the church’s life. It may include hospital visitation, counseling, and ministries of shared presence, listening, and support. Contact the church to speak with a clergy member when you want to discuss spiritual or theological matters; when you have reason to celebrate; or if you wish to talk in order to gain spiritual comfort.
In the case of a pastoral emergency, please call the NEW Trinity Pastoral Phone: (317) 922-1477, to reach the priest on call.
Card Ministry
Hand written cards of encouragement are sent to those whose names have appeared on the prayer list as a reminder that they are being prayed for by the congregation and clergy.
Comforters & Knitters
Handcrafted items are made for Trinity parishioners who might be home-bound and unable to regularly attend services, and other people who would appreciate being remembered.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEV)
Lay Eucharistic Visitors take the consecrated elements, the Bread and Wine of Holy Communion, to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, are unable to be present at the Celebration of Holy Eucharist on Sunday or other principal celebrations.
The Pastoral Care Committee members bring care, comfort, and support to our members who are sick and shut-in, struggling with bereavement, loneliness, and/or other life challenges by coordinating various activities for members of the congregation.
