Intercessory Prayer Ministry

"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."  Philippians 4:6

The Power of Prayer

The Intercessory Prayer Ministry meets on the first Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m. in the Library to pray as a group for the hospitalized, sick, and shut-in church members as well as for the congregation and members of the military.  In addition, they pray individually on a daily basis at home.  Prayer request forms and boxes to receive them are located in the narthex and at the desk in the Gathering Space.  All prayer requests are treated with confidentiality.    Women and men interested in participating in this ministry may attend one of the monthly prayer meetings or call Ruth Bertovitch through the church office.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets in Fellowship Hall on the fourth Thursday of each month, except December, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.  This committee knits or crochets shawls and delivers them to sick, bereaved, and at-home congregation members and friends in need.  They invite those interested to bring their willing hands and needles and join them at any meeting.  They have plenty of yarn and will provide instructions to all who wish to learn.  For additional information, contact Kay Range through the church office.

If you are interested in learning to knit or becoming involved in this Women of Trinity ministry, contact Kay Range through the church office.

Visitation Ministry

The Visitation Ministry committee recruits men and women volunteers from the congregation to visit shut-in members and hosts in-service training luncheons with guest speakers to prepare the volunteers for their monthly visits.   The committee further provides the volunteers with Christmas cookies baked by women of the congregation, poinsettias, and Easter flowers to deliver to the shut-ins.  If you are interesting in joining in the work of the committee or becoming a visitation volunteer, contact Robin Fero through the church office.
