Strengthening Our Community
The Parish Life Committee is a collection of the chairpersons from each major parish life ministry.
Each of the subgroups share in one common goal: to strengthen and nurture the Holy Trinity Parish Community.
“As each one of us has received a gift, use it to serve one another! As good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10

NEW FAMILY WELCOME PARTNER FAMILY
Joining a new church can be an exciting but daunting experience. That’s why we are starting a new program that connects new families with volunteer mentor families. As a mentor family, you would play a crucial role in helping new members feel welcomed and supported, and in connecting them with all that our community has to offer. By becoming a mentor family, you’ll not only be doing a great service to your fellow church members, but you’ll also be deepening your connection to our community.
