This Week at Trinity | September 5, 2025

by | Sep 5, 2025 | This Week at Trinity

Welcome to this week’s This Week at Trinity! Inside you’ll find upcoming discipleship opportunities, fall events, mission updates, and ways to stay connected with your church family.

Fall Focus: Holy Conversations

“Holy Conversations” is our fall theme highlighting both discipleship offerings and our sermon series. Dr. Jeff Roberts will use this theme in sermons throughout the fall leading into Advent.

In 2026, the Deacons will also study this resource. As a church family, we invite you to consider the ways we can have holy conversations each day—conversations that share, grow, and deepen discipleship.
