Circles and Small Groups

Book Club
Trinity has a monthly book club that meets in the evening on the 4th Mondays for a book discussion and sharing. We have records of the books we have read for the last 20 years. We try to include books that have a theological, moral, or ethical theme. We welcome new members at any time. Carolyn Offutt (coffutt@o3star.com)
Earth Care Team
Though not a formal ministry, Trinity's Earth Care Team developed out of a Sunday school class five years ago. We don't have regular meetings. Anyone interested in connecting faith with stewardship of natural resources and social justice is welcome to contribute their gifts to lead an initiative. Steve Gillard (gillard.steve@gmail.com)

We are Esther Circle, women who have children who are infants through about 2nd or 3rd grade. We meet once a month at one of our houses for fellowship, humor, and support. Natalie Foley (natalie.s.foley@gmail.com)
Hannah Circle
Hannah Circle started in 1989 as a small group of new Moms. Since that time, we have shared the ups and downs of life. Our children are now in their 30’s and a few women are grandmothers. We meet monthly in members’ homes on the first Monday of the month at 7:00pm. Attendance ranges from 6-12 ladies. Being a Mom is not a prerequisite nor is being married. We welcome new members!

Horizons
We are an open, multigenerational women's bible study. We meet at Trinity one evening a month (usually the last Tuesday of the month). We typically watch a short video and discuss a reading, striving to make the teaching relevant to how we live Christian lives today. The format encourages drop in participation.
