A Church with a
Heart for the City!

 

Adult Sunday School
Since Trinity is such a diverse church, there are a lot of different classes in the 9:45 a.m. Sunday School program. There are classes that meet many needs. Adults may choose from several different Sunday school classes. Each class caters to a different age group or different area of interest. View our Sunday School brochure for detailed class descriptions.

BFC Series Exercise classes
The BFC Series (Becoming Fit at Church) Exercise program is designed to help participants improve strength and fitness which allows them to not only function better on a daily basis, but also to be able to serve in a greater capacity, as we are called to do by our gracious and ever-loving God.

Come join us in the Parlor for fun, fellowship and exercise too! All classes use a variety of equipment, and exercises are modified to accommodate each participant. Classes run regularly throughout fall, winter and spring. Evening class schedules during Lent and summer are modified.

Tuesdays/Thursdays, 9:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Staying Strong - Basic easy exercise class with seated and standing exercise. Focus on strength, flexibility, balance and agility. Great for beginners.

Tuesdays/Thursdays 11:00 a.m. to noon
Variety Mix - Energetic class with standing and floor exercise. Focus on cardio, strength, general toning and flexibility. (Nursery available by reservation only)

Wednesdays, 4:15 p.m. 5:30 p.m.
Walk to Bethlehem - Twenty to thirty minute outdoor walking class which finishes with short strength and flexibility segments. Learn how to wear and use a pedometer, and log steps. Also share a daily devotion with class members. We’re going 6,551 miles to Bethlehem! (Can participate on-line as well and e-mail daily steps in.)  Lent: 4:15 p.m.–5:00 p.m., Summer: No Class

Wednesdays, 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Evening donations go to the new Health and Wellness Ministry. Lay Academy registration of $10 per four/five week session goes to purchase new equipment. For more information or for Variety Mix nursery reservation e-mail Beth Curry at BFCSeries@yahoo.com.

 

Friday Flicks
The flicks are shown on the third Friday of each month, in the Moor Hall at 7:30 p.m.  A $.50 donation is suggested for soft drinks and popcorn.


Helping Each Other (HEO)
HEO began in 1979 under the auspices of Trinity's United Methodist Women. It was organized to "maintain a network of lay persons to assist the pastors and congregation, through providing a supportive, caring ministry to members of Trinity United Methodist church and, when possible, to our community." With that vision, HEO was born. Since that time, HEO has been a vital part of ministry at Trinity. HEO utilizes lay volunteers in a ministry of care and encouragement to those who are recuperating, who are going through challenging times of transition, who are homebound, or who have other special needs that HEO can fill. Rita May is Trinity's HEO Coordinator and she stands ready to pull together resources when help is needed.   Click on the HEO logo to learn more...

Prayer Partners
Two by Two is a prayer partner program at Trinity that includes children grades 2-5 and adults. It will be starting up again this spring under the direction of Elizabeth and Emily Hirst and Barbara Hynes.

Children are invited to become partners in prayer with adults in our congregation for a two-year period. For the first year, the adult will know the identity of the child for whom he/she is praying, but the student will not. Each will be asked to pray daily for their partner. Adults also are encouraged to remember the student on birthdays and other special times with a card or a note from their secret "partner."

A gathering will be held next spring to reveal the partners to each other. They will then continue as partners for an additional year during which time we encourage them to develop their friendship and care for each other.

Children and adults turning in registration sheets will be paired  two by two. Children will receive a note when they have been paired with an adult partner. Adults will receive information about their special student and a photo.

 For more information contact Barbara Hynes.

Prayer Chain
The Prayer Chain is a group dedicated to praying for the needs of others. You can call your request in to the office at (850) 222-1120 or submit your request by e-mail.

The Prayers and Squares Quilt Ministry
The Prayers and Squares Prayer Quilt Ministry combines the gift of prayer with the gift of quilt making. A group of volunteers meet on the last Wednesday of each month at 6:30 in Room 308 to make a variety of quilts. These quilts are then available for those who are in a  spiritual or physical crisis, and in need of lots of prayer. Periodically, prayer quilts will be available for prayer during worship services and other events at the church. The prayer quilt is made with tassels that are to be tied after a prayer is said for the recipient. Once the quilt is full of prayers, the quilt is then given to the recipient, so that they can be covered in prayer during their crisis.  Click on the Prayers and Squares logo more details...

Evening Book Group
On the fourth Thursday of each month the Evening Book Group gathers to discuss that month’s selection. The group reads a variety of books from best sellers to old classics. While fiction is most frequent memoirs and other non-fiction have also been chosen. The group meets in the homes of members. Books read recently by the group include: Water for Elephants, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, The Widow of the South, and the Kite Runner.

Men’s Group
Trinity’s Men’s Group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30 in Room 306. They use a variety of resources for Bible study. They are currently working through the series Walking Where Jesus Walked which utilizes a DVD based teaching and group discussion. New participants are always welcome to join this group for study and fellowship with other men of the church.

Knitting Group
Beginners and experienced knitters make up this group that meets on the second Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm at the home of Barbara Hynes. Bring a project you are working on or use our materials to get started. All levels of knitters are welcome. No need to have your own supplies. Call 222-1120 for the next meeting date.

Trinity Treks
Periodically interested people will gather for a day trip to destinations in Tallahassee or nearby communities. Upcoming trips include Swamp Gravy , Quincy Music Theater, Fort San Marcos, Lake Jackson Mounds and Havana. Pick up a brochure at the Welcome Center for more details.

Yoga
Join us on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 pm in the parlor for an hour and a half of energizing stretching and relaxation. The yoga group meets year round. All levels are always welcome and beginners are encouraged to experience this excellent way to stay flexible and build strength throughout your body. Fees for classes are $8/week or $63 for 9 weeks. The instructor is Joy Moore.

Trinity Race Team
If you like to run or walk in local races around town, consider entering these events as part of the Trinity Race Team. Visit our team blog at http://trinitytally.blogspot.com, or contact Beth Curry at BFCSeries@yahoo.com or Richard Parsons at rrptroy@gmail.com for more information.
Hats for the Homeless
Winters in Tallahassee can be cold, and many of our local homeless do not have proper cold weather clothing. The Hats for the Homeless ministry works throughout the year to knit and crochet hats and scarves which are donated to those in need. Contact Beth Curry at BFCSeries@yahoo.com if you already know how to knit or crochet and would like to help, or to see when the next “Learn to” class meets. Also, donations of any kind yarn will be happily put to good use. Please leave all items in the bins marked “Hats for the Homeless” which are located in the Welcome Center and Narthex.
