Community Life

Connecting Through Fun and Fellowship

As a congregation of active members across every generation who strive to be inclusive, welcoming, friendly, and faithful, Trinity is a church where people know one another, care for one another, and walk alongside one another through both celebrations and challenges. We particularly celebrate the opportunity to know and love people who aren’t all alike. We come together often for fellowship opportunities that build connections and help us grow together in our faith journeys. Some of our beloved traditions include:

Two women in costumes posing outdoors with trees displaying fall foliage in the background. One woman is dressed as Maleficent with black horns and a black outfit, and the other woman is dressed as Mary Poppins with a black hat decorated with white flowers, a pink bow tie, and a black jacket.
A man with glasses and a woman with long gray hair are smiling and holding hands over a table with a hot pot of soup. There are bowls of food, a red cup, and utensils on the table, and others in the background in a room with a clock on the wall.

First Sunday Fellowship 

After worship on the first Sunday of the month, we offer refreshments and a chance to catch up with our neighbors and meet new friends. If you are visiting, we hope you will introduce yourself as you enjoy a second cup of coffee and a cookie. 

Connection Sunday with Food Trucks

As we come back from Summer adventures and kick off our fall programming in early September, we linger at shady picnic tables on the church lawn, noshing on goodies from taco trucks and Kona Ice.

Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat

This October tradition has taken many forms over the years, from a Campfire Vespers service during covid to its current form. We gather after 10:15 worship for s’mores, bounce house, music, and Trunk or Treat. Kids are invited to wear costumes that day, and more than a few adults nurture their inner child by doing the same.

Chili Bowl

Beans or no beans? We welcome all comers! Typically held on the Sunday before the Super Bowl, the competition heats up in our very own chili cookoff. The congregation weighs in on their favorites, our panel of staff judges makes their own determination, and everyone leaves happy and well-fed. 

Shrove Tuesday Pancakes

Before we enter into the Lenten Season, our Boy Scout troop fires up the griddles and provides a pancake dinner. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday. 

Speed Meet and Greet

This multigenerational event encourages folks to connect in a fast and fun speed-dating-style game. We set up a large circle of chairs in the Fellowship Hall, provide the questions (Who’s someone who influenced you? Is a hot dog a sandwich, and why?), and mind the timer, and everyone leaves knowing one another just a little better.

Brunch with Santa

St. Nicholas comes to Trinity to delight both young and old as we enjoy a hearty breakfast, crafts and games, and a “shop” staffed by our teenagers, where kids can find presents for their parents. 

Days of Service

Part mission project, part group-building exercise, our Days of Service take place following an abbreviated worship service and bring together dozens of teams of every age who tend our butterfly garden, put together backpack kits for Herndon Elementary, or sort non-perishables at the LINK food pantry.

The young man is wearing a black jacket, khaki pants, and gray sneakers, while the elderly woman is wearing a navy sweater with white hearts, a watch, and holding a red card and an orange envelope in her lap.
