At Trinity, we strive to be life-long learners who take our spiritual growth seriously. We offer five or more adult Sunday school classes each week and many evening programs that are widely varied and meet the diverse needs of people.
Living the Questions: Evening Class to Begin September 13
Rev. Mark Dove, a retired United Methodist Minister, is as excited about this study as anyone could be. He will be continuing this 23-week study on Monday evenings beginning Sept.13 through Oct. 25 from 7 p.m. through 9 p.m. in Chapelside Parlor. ALL ARE WELCOME
TO REGISTER.
The two hour sessions will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion as we examine together questions we all ask. The study is an open-minded alternative to studies that attempt to give participants all the answers. It creates an environment in which participants interact with one another in exploring the best of today's theological thought, and, at the same time, those in the discussion will strive together to explore what's next for Christianity. Thirty of today's leading religious voices will be heard. This is popular class. In order to assure effective discussion, the class is limited to 25 persons.
Disciple I and II Bible Study Sign-ups August 22- September 12th.
DISCIPLE I: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY emphasizes the disciplined reading of and listening to Scripture. During the course, DISCIPLE participants read more than 70% of the Bible. Each participant commits to about 30 minutes of daily preparation and to attending all weekly classes. The results are transformational, as DISCIPLE calls persons to submit themselves to examination by Scripture, to put themselves under the power of God's word, and to be changed by it.
The DISCIPLE study will run Thursdays September 16th (orientation) through June 2nd from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Trinity's Room 207. Sign-ups are August 22-September 12th. If needed, childcare can be provided. Rev. Amy Aspey and Jan Williams are excited to co-lead this class. Please contact Rev. Aspey at 614-488-0695 or aaspey@trinityumchurch.com if you have any questions.
DISCIPLE II: INTO THE WORD, INTO THE WORLD is the second study in the Disciple program and is prepared for youth and adults who are graduates of DISCIPLE I: BECOMING DISCIPLES THROUGH BIBLE STUDY. It will be co-taught by Dr. Carolyn Leick and Laura Richter. This is a 32-week course covering Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts. Participants commit to attending all weekly two-hour classes and to approximately 30 minutes of daily preparation, 6 days per week. Those who have taken DISCIPLE I know of the transformational aspects of this Bible Study Series, and we each recognize that we have been changed by the power of God's word.
DISCIPLE II will meet Monday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. in Chapelside Parlor. Our first meeting will be an orientation meeting on September 13. Sign-ups take place August 22 – September 12. Child care will be provided when needed.
Carolyn and Laura are excited about their own transformation as they learn from DISCIPLE II as well as lead the group. Please contact Dr. Leick at (614) 488 - 0695 or cleick@trinityumchurch.com if you have any questions.

"Just Neighbors" helps people to answer these questions through videos, interactive exercises, scripture and discussion. The study helps people to learn about the struggles of neighbors in need and to be inspired to do something!

Bell Choir

Diane Stanley, Director of our wonderful Bell Choir, will be training ALL adults and children who wish to learn to play the bells. The training will take place during the 10:00 Sunday school hour each Sunday, September 12 through October 31. Come one, come all! This is an opportunity for people, age 8 through 98 or older to learn to play the bells. Families may have fun coming together! But do not feel you must be part of a family. You are part of the Trinity family. Diane will be teaching the bells through the scriptures and the Sunday school curriculum the children would be having in their classes. This Christian Education/Music Education combination packs a punch that only the two together can accomplish! |
