Trinity offers a grief support group to anyone in our church family or our community who has lost a loved one. This 11-week course gives help and encouragement with the support of others who are also grieving and is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. Classes start on Wednesday, March 6 from 6:45-8:15 pm in Room 211 of the Trinity Education Building on the NW Campus. Participation in grief support provides hope for the future. For more information, contact Patti Drew at 352-339-3685 or (ptdrew@hotmail.com).
Rebuilding
Rebuilding will meet again February 4 - March 24, 2024 from 3:00 - 5:00 pm at Trinity. Free childcare available with registration.
Rebuilding features “rebuilding blocks,” a proven process for putting one’s life back together after divorce or the end of a love relationship.
Emotional + Spiritual Support During Illness and Hospitalization
Illness and hospitalization can be stressful life events. We would like to offer you both spiritual and emotional support during that time. If you will be going into the hospital, having surgery, coming home from the hospital, or are homebound, please contact Cindy Shelamer, the Assistant to the Pastors at 352-416-3005, and we will plan for a Pastor or Visitation Care Team member to come and pray with you. For pre-surgery prayer, please let us know the check-in time, surgery time, and hospital name. Also, if you become aware of the death of someone who is part of Trinity, please let us know as soon as possible.
Join our Visitation Care Team
Our Visitation Care Team is designed to be a ministry of laity who visit regularly with those who are in assisted or senior living facilities or homebound members. Currently, we are developing that team. Each care team member will be matched with one or more persons to visit on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. If you are interested in being a part of that ministry and visiting on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, please contact Melisa Gertz, Associate Pastor.
Do you need uplifting?
We’re here for you. Please let us know if you are in need of prayer.
Sharing Prayer Requests with Others
Each Wednesday, Trinity sends out a prayer email with prayer concerns, celebrations, and ongoing prayer needs of our congregation. If you would like to share your own prayer concern or celebration, please contact Cindy Shelamer, Assistant to the Pastors at 352-416-3005.
If you become aware of the death of someone who is a part of Trinity, please also let us know as soon as possible.
