Faith in Action
Also known as Christian Responsibility, Social Concerns or Social Justice, Jesus calls us to care about the things God cares about, and the New Testament is clear that we are called to care for the poor, the homeless, the marginalized and vulnerable. Trinity members are involved, individually, in many areas. Here are some which are taken on by our congregation.
Over-all Coordinator of this ministry area is the Vice President of Trinity- Karl Howell. If you have a new Social Concerns Ministry idea, great! so that we can coordinate efforts, check with KARL first.
SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTIVITIES AT TRINITY HAPPEN IN A VARIETY OF WAYS:
ONGOING:
Trinity is deeply involved in two local Refuge Programs: Both for Afghan and Ukrainian families.
Food Donations: We have a great curbside LITTLE FREE PANTRY located on the top of Lybecker. Volunteers restock it many times during the week. PLEASE MAKE USE OF IT!
There is a shopping cart just inside the church doors for ongoing food contributions for the Little Free Pantry and local food banks.
