Adult Ministry

Trinity offers several opportunities for adults to minister and serve.  You may click on an item at the right to find out more about that ministry or feel free to read about all of them below.  Contact the Church Office if you are interested in becoming involved in any of these ministries.

Altar Guild

In service to our Lord, the Altar Guild exists as an assistant to the Pastor, by managing the care of the altar to insure that it is clean and ready for all worship services.  This includes caring for and placing proper paraments, linens, communion vessels, etc.  The duties of the Guild are varied and vital to the smooth progression of our worship. The Guild is open to all ladies of the congregation.

Blood Drives

Conducted periodically, blood drives afford members the opportunity to insure valued blood replacement coverage under a variety of plans.  There will be notices in the bulletins as well as the newsletter. 

Greeters

While Trinity encourages each and every worshiper to "be a greeter every Sunday," designated Greeters are on hand before and after both services each Sunday morning to offer a warm "welcome" to all members and visitors/guests.  They also assist the Pastor in extending to visitors/guests information on the church and introducing them to other members.

Serving as a Greeter is an excellent way to get to know fellow members of Trinity and to help those who are visiting with us feel comfortable.  The ministry is open to all confirmed members of the congregation.

Lay Readers

Layreaders are men and women who read the Scripture Lessons for the day in our weekly and special services.

Lutheran Women's Missionary League

The purpose of the LWML is to help women of the church grow spiritually -- MISSION INSPIRATION; to encourage and equip women to reach out in love -- MISSION EDUCATION; and to alert members to opportunities for helping others -- MISSION SERVICE. 

The League also encourages women to seek out and serve the needs of people in their community -- and the world.  Mission programs are funded through offerings gathered in mite boxes and other voluntary means.  Trinity's LWML is open to all women of the congregation.

Trinity's LWML is affiliated with the International LWML and the Florida-Georgia District.   

Nursery Care

Nursery Care is provided during the Sunday School hour and the Worship Services each week in the nursery.  Parents are encouraged to bring children, age three and over, to worship services with them.

Older, Wiser Lutherans (OWLS)

OWLS is a group of seniors 55 years of age and older who meet regularly for fun and fellowship.  Activities include bus tours to areas of interest.  Other activities include potluck lunches, meetings, and games.  Members and non-members are invited to become a part of OWLS.   

Stephen Ministry Program

Pastoral care is a vital part of being a community of God's people together.  Our goal is to establish a network that will create an approach to caregiving that extends to everyone within our church.  Each person in the congregation should feel welcome, know they belong, and feel effectively cared for.  Stephens Ministers are trained to assist members with their many spiritual, emotional and physical needs.  If you are interested in receiving training to become a Stephens Minister please contact the Church Office.

Prayer Group

Trinity Prayer Group meets from 9:00 – 9:30 AM on Wednesday.  We pray silent and spoken prayers for specific needs of the church.  Please join us if you would like to enlarge, enrich and encourage our Trinity family.  You may contact Mary Campbell at 713-466-8402 if you have any questions about this ministry.

Sunday Coffee and Fellowship

Everyone is invited to share some time in fellowship after the 8:00 AM service each week for coffee and fellowship.  Please contact the Church Office if you are interested in serving in this manner.

Ushers

The men and women who serve as Ushers assist the Pastor in assuring that each and every worship service runs smoothly.  They are available to assist members and visitors in any way possible to insure a worship experience that is God-pleasing and enriching.  Any confirmed member of the congregation may serve as an Usher and is invited and encouraged to do so.

IDignity

IDignity is an opportunity to share a few hours of your life once with the purpose of lifting a crushed spirit or giving hope where little exists. You will receive a reward of thankful gratitude and trust. But, serving two events, or 8-12 hours of your lifetime, you will be remembered as the one who was “so good to me last time.” Serve three events and you become a veteran sharing stories with the “newbies.” Your fourth event changes your whole perspective on serving. You will wonder why this opportunity that offers so much assistance, provides such hope, and builds self-confidence is only offered once a month. Serving with IDignity is addictive. Visit www.idignity.org for more information.  If you are interested in additional information or would like to volunteer or make a designated contribution, please contact Deaconess Liz  or IDignity.
