Trinity Small Groups

Small groups provide a unique opportunity for fellowship at Trinity. Some groups are centered around a special interest, such as travel or genealogy, and some are centered around service or Bible study. This page provides basic information about the following small groups:

 

Bible Study Groups

Trinity offers two men's Bible study groups and two women's Bible study groups:

  • The Men's Mid-Week Bible Study Group meets every Thursday at 9:30 am in the library (room 2) for fellowship and Bible study (along with coffee and doughnuts). The group uses the PC(USA) Men's Ministries series of Bible Studies, which can be found online at http://www.pcusa.org/men/biblestudy.htm. The group has lessons from both the Old and New Testament.
  • The Friday Morning Men's Bible Study Group meets every Friday at 7 am at John's Xlnt Foods, 1238 Lincoln Ave, San Jose, for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer.
  • The Women's Mid-Week Bible Study Group meets every Wednesday at 10 am in the library (room 2) for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. The group is very casual and takes things slow and easy.
  • The Single Women's Bible Study Group is intended for single women, 50 years and over, and meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 10 am.

All of these Bible study groups welcome new participants, and you don't have to be a Trinity member to participate. For more information, contact Trinity at the phone number or email address above.

Lunch Bunch

The Lunch Bunch offers fellowship and friendship for Trinity members and guests. 

The group meets for lunch on the first Thursday of most months.  Sometimes the group meets in Fellowship Hall at Trinity for a potluck, and sometimes the group will go to an interesting place, such as a museum or on tour.

If you're interested in participating in this group, please provide advanced notice so that the group can make appropriate reservations. Please contact Trinity at the phone number or email above.

Marthas

The Marthas is a group that seeks out and lends a helping hand to those in need. One of their major projects is the Christmas shoebox project. The Marthas collect, assemble, and send shoeboxes of gifts to children abroad who are in need. They also make and deliver Christmas gift bags for those in our parish who are unable to get out.

The Marthas have sponsored ice cream socials to benefit the Trinity youth group, and has organized a tea for the ladies.

The Marthas meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 10 am in the library (room 2). The group invites new members to join, and also welcomes input and new ideas. If you are interested, contact Trinity at the phone number or email above.

Roots

Have you ever thought about researching your family tree but were not sure how to get started? Or perhaps you are already active with genealogy. In either case, the Roots Group might be for you.

Participating in this group offers a chance to interact with others who are interested in family-history research and discussion of genealogical topics. The group invites new members to join them. If you are interested, contact Trinity at the phone number or email above.

The Roots Group meets the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm in the library (room 2).

Trinity Travelers

The Trinity Travel Group meets on the fourth Friday of each month at 7:30 pm in the library to share travel experiences and fellowship. The group offers a chance to hear about and see pictures of places you might like to go.

Each meeting has a theme, usually a country or region.  The group focuses mostly on foreign travel, but some domestic adventures are included.

Meetings typically involve one or two couples or individuals sharing the presentation of their visits to a common country or region.  Presentations sometimes include a digital presentation of pictures, and there is usually a table for other treasures brought back from the trips.

In general, the group does not travel as a group, but each spring the group does take a day trip as a group. Twice a year, in the spring and fall, the group has a wine tasting party at one of the members homes. This is a very popular event, usually a full house!

Anyone who is interested in the evening topic is welcome to come join in the fellowship.  It is the type of evening that is comfortable to invite friends to, or for visitors to the church to come get acquainted with others in the church.

See the Trinity Traveler's page for information about current and planned events, and see their photo album for photos from past meetings. For more information, contact Trinity at the phone number or email address above.

Young Couples

The Young Couples Group consists of young(ish) couples, both with and without children, and enjoys monthly get-togethers outside of regular church services.

Past activities have included picnics, pizza nights, and pool parties. On Sunday mornings, members can be found serving in many capacities around the church and catching up on the patio after worship.

The group would be delighted to add to its membership, so if you'd like to participate, contact Trinity at the phone number or email above.
