Adult Education
In person or online, Trinity offers a variety of classes for Adults. Trinity’s Adult Education program goes beyond Sunday School Classes to include small group studies like Bible Disciple and Companions in Christ, as well as a book club, a book study group, a contemplative prayer group, and other opportunities which can be formed as there are enough people interested in participating. Most of the classes are drop in and last about 8 weeks. You are invited to drop in and try it out. Questions? Email Ben, Dir. of Spiritual Formation

Classroom A
Leaders: Class Participants Rotate leadership
The Thursday Morning Class is a loose group of folks who meet to think and talk about spiritual, Biblical, ethical, and practical things. We share leadership (and, during normal times, snacks) and generally have something specific to spark our discussions.
We meet every Thursday at 10:00 for a couple of hours of discussion centered around a book we hope will add to our knowledge of the Bible, spirituality, or Christian living. Please email Sue Bodner if you are interested.
Wednesday Bible Study.
In Classroom A
Wednesday 7:30-8:30p.m.
Every Wednesday gather for scripture and discussion. No need for prior Bible knowledge or reading! Interested? Contact Ben Stewart.
Sunday mornings
During the education time, we usually have a couple of options for adults.
A Time of Meditation
We hear from meditation teachers such as Richard Rohr, Thomas Keating, Henri Nouwen, Thich Nhat Hahn, and Tara Brach. We practice mindfulness with breathing techniques and simple movements from Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong.
Each class includes at least 10 minutes of silence, often more. Our intent is to be more mindful of God’s presence within us and in all the routine events of our days.
We include poetry and information on the practices of other faiths to be more mindful of the Divinity within each of us; to cultivate peace, lovingkindness, compassion and generosity within ourselves which extends to the world around us.
Upcoming Classes…
October 26th & Nov 2nd:
