What’s Happening at Trinity—July 11, 2021

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MEMBER OF TRINITY—Whether you are interested in exploring membership at Trinity or interested in finding out more about Christianity, this 10-week class is for you. We will explore Christ’s gracious invitation of a personal relationship with God and the Spirit-filled life of following Christ as his disciple. Life with Jesus is for anyone who would like to attend, and is required of those considering membership at Trinity (but does not obligate you to become a member.) Life with Jesus will be held on Mondays, 7-8:30 p.m., beginning Sept. 13, in the Church Lounge. Childcare is available. Online sign up will be available beginning July 15 at Trinityct.org/LWJ.

BAPTISM PROGRAM—If you are interested in baptism at Trinity, Jeremy Ashley will host two upcoming baptism sessions to prepare you for the process. We talk about what baptism is, how we do it, why we do it, our role, your role and how this all plays out in the “real life” of your home. You will also have the opportunity to schedule a baptism. These sessions will be held online via Zoom. The first will be held July 8 at 6 p.m. and the second will be July 12 at noon. To sign up, go to
