OUTDOOR WORSHIP
We welcome you to attend one of Trinity’s outdoor worship experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Outdoor Worship

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.
Sunday Adult Forum/Parents in Conversation

The Cherokee Nation and Christianity
May 21, 28, and June 4
with James Bradley
Trinitarian James Bradley is a member of the Cherokee nation, and he will lead us in better understanding the intersection of the Cherokee and religious beliefs, including the Christian faith. Along the way, he will review the history of the Eastern Band, first contact, shrinkage of the land base, removal, and the aftermath. He will review the various religious groups that made missions within the Cherokee and the effects on traditional beliefs. He will move to show how the band went from a small farming community to an economic powerhouse, the current role of Christianity, language preservation, land purchases, and the future of the Tribe.

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
