FORMATION FOR ADULTS
Trinity offers an abundance of adult formation opportunities throughout the week in which we explore our faith through prayer, study, and fellowship. Through these groups, we grow in our faith as a community seeking to understand more deeply how to love God and love our neighbor to make a difference in the world.

Becoming Beloved Community Book Group
Wednesdays 6:30-8:00
This group meets on Wednesdays during the year (August-May) from 6:30-8:00 in the Clark Room and on Zoom book discussion. Facilitators Sharon Lechner and Page McCorkle invite members to discuss the intersection of social and environmental justice with the dominant culture of white supremacy. In addition, Barb Matthews and Susan Edwards will guide us in contemplative practices as part of each meeting. The group provides space to explore challenging topics and to support one another in learning more about the experience of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in America. Facilitators guide the group to seek God’s wisdom through learning and dialogue to help heal and build a beloved community. To join, email pageconnermccorkle@gmail.com.
Trekking in the 828
In 2021 TREKKING IN THE “828” was started for our older parishioners consisting of day trips to nearby sites. The objectives were threefold:
-
Offer opportunities for parishioners over 65 to meet and interact socially with new and long-term members of the Parish
-
Offer Senior parishioners a chance to get out and about on fun and educational experiences during and after Covid
-
Provide opportunities to learn more about our community and the region, in group events with transportation provided
The program has been well received and continues for those parishioners 55 and older. Most “treks” limit the number of participants, some have entrance or guide fees, depending on what is planned. Sign-up is required and handled by Jo Rice’s office at Trinity. Details will be announced in the Parish Friday newsletter online and in Sunday bulletins for
several weeks prior to each “trek”.
If you have any questions, please call Mary Bruce or Steve Woody at (828) 274-0530 or e-mail at
