Men of Trinity Breakfasts

Famous for their fabulous cooking, MOT provides a hot, delicious breakfast for the parish on the third Sunday of each month. On several occasions throughout the year, MOT grills hamburgers and hotdogs for picnics and parish suppers. Additionally, every spring for the past 50+ years, the Men of Trinity have hosted a Fish Fry fundraiser. Its held at the Trinity Retreat Center and well over 300 men from the community attend.

VBS Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School at Trinity is a week-long, all-day camp filled with activities and crafts, and of course, chapel and Bible verses. The 65-acre Trinity Conference Center provides the beautiful setting for the camp, where the children can canoe in the small lake, fish off the bridge, enjoy playing in the playground, or attend chapel under the pines. All activities center around a theme, and love for God and biblical truths are taught in creative and fun ways. The camp is open to kindergarten through 5th graders (3 and 4-year olds can attend in the mornings), and teenagers assist in the care and instruction of the children. Children bring their lunch; snacks and drinks are provided. Verse memorization, singing, crafts, and fun activities - what better way is there to show kids the love of God! The camp is provided free of charge as a ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church and each participant receives a t-shirt.

Seminars/Conferences

From time to time, Trinity is pleased to host a guest speaker in a field of particular expertise to invite and inspire our members and guests into a deeper, more fulfilling journey with Christ. Recent guests have included Dr. Tracy Radosevic, a professional Biblical storyteller, and Janet Davis, author of "The Feminine Soul: Surprising Ways the Bible Speaks to Women."

Harvest Dinner

Each November the parish gathers for a meal of Thanksgiving to acknowledge and appreciate the many blessings God has bestowed upon us, both individually and as a church community.

The Hanging of the Greens

On the evening of the fourth Sunday of Advent, the Trinity community gathers to decorate the church with greenery and poinsettias for the upcoming Christmas season. The greens symbolize and celebrate the everlasting life we experience through Jesus. It is a time of fun and joyful preparation. Christmas carols and hot chocolate make it a perfect holiday event!

Epiphany Celebration

On the evening of the Feast Day of Ephiphany, January 6th, we gather at the Trinity Outreach Center to light the Ephipany bonfire as we mark the last day of the Christmas season. The Feast Day of Epiphany remembers the proclamation of Jesus' birth to the wise men and his manifestation as the "Light of the World."

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

The day before Ash Wednesday is known as Shrove Tuesday. To "shrive" someone, in old-fashioned English, is to hear their acknowledgement of sins, to assure them of God's forgiveness, and to give them appropriate spiritual advice. On Shrove Tuesday, many Christians make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life they especially need to ask God's help in dealing with. Often they consult on these matters with a spiritual counselor, or receive "shrift." Shrove Tuesday is also called Fat Tuesday, because on that day a thrifty cook uses up the fats that have been kept around (the can of bacon drippings, or whatever) for cooking, but that will not be using during Lent. Since pancakes are a standard way of using up fat, pancakes became the traditional Shrove Tuesday meal in England. At Trinity, our Pancake Supper is a time of fellowship and fun, a final frivolous celebration before the somber Lenten Season begins.
