Adult Spiritual Formation Ministry
Trinity provides a number of opportunities for adults to gather for study and for prayer. All are invited to join these groups.
The Women’s Book Club
All women are invited to attend the monthly meeting of Trinity's Book Club to discuss the book selection of the month. The group reads a variety of fiction and non-fiction. Check the Carillon for more information.
Our Prayer & Discernment (Wednesdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m.) and our Prayer Chain lifts up all who are in need of prayer. This is currently being held virtually.

Early Fall Book Study with Rev. Dr. David Calhoun
Why? Making Sense of God’s Will
When the ground shakes, and a poor nation's economy is destroyed; when a community is wiped away by wildfires taking away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations; where is God? If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to infest his creation? When we lift our prayers to God, and no answer seems to come; when we earnestly seek to know the will of God for our lives, yet can't seem to discern it; when God seems far away; where is God? Join Rev. Dr. Calhoun as we explore best-selling author Adam Hamilton's fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, we will discuss how we can comprehend God's plan for the world and ourselves.
Mondays, September 15, 22, 29 & October 6, 2025 at 12-1:30 p.m. in the Community Gallery and Parkside Cafe.

Late Fall Book Study with Rev. Dr. David Calhoun
Goodbye Murphy’s Law:Whatever Can Go Wrong God Can Make Right
We live in a world where people tend to expect the worst. But God has an amazing plan for each of us, and this plan is not some elusive, mystical riddle we cannot decipher. We can move past dry spells and give up dread and fear. We can shape a vision for our life that is large and special and meaningful. Join Rev. Dr. David Calhoun as we explore this marvelous little book by Judy Pace Christie as she encourages us to seek and discover God’s will in our lives through listening, discernment, prayer, and perseverance. We will discuss ten important questions to help us live a more hopeful, encouraging, engaging, caring, eloquent, practical, prayerful, devoted, Christ-centered, life. Judy Pace Christie encourages us “To do our best and trust that God will do the rest.”
Mondays, November 24, December 1, 8, 15, 2025 at 12-1:30 p.m. in the Community Gallery and Parkside Cafe.
