Grief Share – February 2023

The next cycle of GriefShare, primarily facilitated by Pattie Davis and Jane King, will begin Monday January 23, and consists of 13 weekly sessions ending April 17. This program is a support group to help and encourage persons after the death of a spouse, child, family member or friend.
 
These sessions aim to help each participant, collectively and individually, learn to deal with grief and loss; a place where they may move forward in their journey from mourning to joy.
 
Guided by the facilitators, of whom I am one (glad to have learned of the program and very glad to have enrolled), each meeting features a video seminar, a group discussion, and the use of a personal workbook.
 
The videos feature comments and suggestions by experts who help deal with loss, personal stories of people who are grieving, and         enactments by some about how they have confronted their own situation.
 
The group discussions, which are completely confidential, offer participants the opportunity to share something they noted, to ask questions, or to learn how something shown in the video or expressed by others might apply to one’s own life. It can prove to be a vital source in finding the help and comfort they seek.
 
The workbook has questions, suggestions, and Bible verses that can help an individual in learning how to cope with their loss. For instance, an item from the workbook might cause them to approach their loss in creative and helpful ways, complementing other important activities. Journaling or simply taking notes can help them work through a particular problem. The referenced scriptures are vital.
 
Many people find, as I did, that grief is a surprisingly complex subject and that the needs and solutions may be quite different from those of fellow participants. But somewhere in the 13 sessions, it seems often to happen that by hearing what others share about their stories, a listener might find an approach that they can use.
 
A group of folks on a similar journey, giving and receiving ideas and support.  That’s what GriefShare is.

Adult Ministry – January 2023

Can you be a disciple and not grow spiritually? Not according to Jesus. “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” (John 15:8)
 
What are you doing to position yourself for spiritual growth? Please don’t let this question push you toward guilt. Jesus is not asking you to climb Mount Everest in a single day! Understand that spiritual growth is usually a gentle climb, it is a process.
 
Trinity U is one avenue we have at Trinity to grow as disciples. This semester we have two sessions of the Disciple’s Personality. If you have studied the Disciple’s Cross, this is a great follow-up. Mark & Dianne Clemons and Royce & Cynthia Itschner lead these two groups.
 
A Skeptic’s FAQs, led by Bob Davis, will help you grow in confidence when confronted by hard questions. This will be a conversation, as you learn how to respectfully engage questions such as “What reasons do we have to believe the resurrection occurred?” “ and “Is it possible to be a moral person without believing in God?” 1/29-3/19
 
The Ministry Gift and Passion Inventory will equip you to fulfill the charge we have in 1 Peter 4:10 – “Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others.” Discovering your spiritual gift(s) is not simply a matter of taking a test. It is not rocket science, but neither is it a casual endeavor. It takes intentional thought and action. In this session you will explore how God has gifted you, and how you can plug into Kingdom service. 3/26. See you Sunday nights at 5 pm!

Roots Class – October 2022

by Jaime Riordan

The Roots Sunday school class is a great place to dive deeper into the biblical text each Sunday morning.  We just finished a series going through some of the smaller and less read books of the Bible and this Fall we are taking a closer look at Genesis.  Filled with so many of the stories we learned as children, Genesis is also rich with theology and its themes are echoed throughout the rest of the Bible. Clark Elliston does a great job teaching while also encouraging class discussion which opens the floor to unique perspectives and deeper learning.  Whatever your age, whether there every week or visiting, there is something to be gained by attending! Please join us in room 221, Sundays, at 11 am.

Women of the Word Bible Class

We are the WOW Sisters. We are adult women of all ages (20’s to 90’s). We are single, married, widowed, divorced, mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. Most importantly, we are sisters in Christ’s family, loving and caring for one another.
In Titus 2, Paul instructs the Godly older women of the church to train younger women in Biblical, Spirit-filled, love-based living. He singles out the mature women of faith, those who have already “been there, done that” and learned by going with Christ through many difficult life experiences, to love, to be reverent, godly, modest and wise; and Paul charges them to meet with the younger women in the church and teach them from the Word. Godly older women in the church take Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:17-20; and Galatians 2:20 seriously:
 
“Bodies presented as living sacrifices, holy, acceptable to God,
not conformed to this world, but with transformed and renewed minds;”
in “bodies that are temples of the Holy Spirit, glorifying God
in body and spirit, which are God’s;” “no longer living for me,
but Christ living through me.”
 
The WOW Bible Class is a place where women of all ages can openly share what’s on their heart, find guidance for living from the Bible, receive encouragement with love, and learn how to have a personal relationship with their Lord Jesus Christ. Each Sunday morning, we communicate, pray and praise, learn from God’s Word, and work on memorization. We will finish up our summer study of the End Times on September 4th. Then on September 11th, we will return to the MasterWork Bible studies by Lifeway.
 
The WOW Sisters welcome women of all ages and all Spiritual stages of life to join us on Sunday mornings in room 104, at 9:30 AM. That’s fifteen minutes earlier than the other classes meet because we tend to talk a lot!
 
Hope to see you Sunday.
