Fellowship Time

After service there’s a great opportunity to hang out and share some refreshments. We seek to provide an atmosphere that helps us grow in God’s love and one another.

Fellowship Time is hosted at The Gathering Place, “Where warm memories are made“.

*This is a Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) group that meets on Sunday mornings at 9:15 am*

Sharing Our Life Stories

Sharing our life stories is the focus of the experienced. The power of life stories comes not only through sharing your story, but also by listening to the journey of others. For example, one week you may consider when your first memory of hearing about Jesus occurred in your life. Another time, you may be sharing places you have seen Jesus in the past week. The leader of this group is Marge Terman. This group meets in the Youth Room.

*This is a Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) group that meets on Sunday mornings at 11 a.m. after our Traditional Worship Service.*

 

Scripture Discussion

Scripture discussion looks at their interpretation of the scripture used as the sermon basis for that day. The group considers how that scripture relates to life today and they look for the lesson within the reading. The leader of this group is Joyce Meinecke.

*This is a Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) group that meets on Saturday evenings at 5 p.m. before 6 p.m. traditional service. *

Bulletin Folders

We have a group come in on Friday afternoons at 1:30 PM in the Parlor to fold bulletins for the weekends.

Lectio Divina

Lectio Divina is an ancient Christian Spiritual practice of listening for God’s voice by slowing down the process of reading scripture. Each week we’ll read the focus scripture for Sunday’s worship from three different voices and versions of the Bible, then go off for a time of silence, then return and reflect on how the scripture spoke to you.

The group meets Thursday mornings at 11 a.m. via Zoom. Email publications@trinityumcgi.org if you would like to join this group.
