Fellowship
We believe that each person brings unique gifts and perspectives, and we invite all individuals to participate in the variety of services we offer throughout the week.
Fellowship is about spending time together. This happens in service, learning, and worship. We encourage you to go to pages throughout our website to learn more about how to connect by doing things that matter to you! We also have some events which are primarily about getting people together because we believe being in community is a sacred thing and a precious gift. You will find more info about events that are primarily focused on fellowship here.
Connections
Join us for Fellowship Hour
Each Sunday after the 10:00 am service, we gather in together for coffee hour. The last Sunday of each month our Hospitality Committee invites anyone who would like to contribute to our fellowship hour to bring a dish to share at Community Coffee Hour.
We are on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals to become hosts/hostesses for our coffee hour. If you’re interested, please sign up in the kitchen. Don’t worry about going it alone – our hospitality ministry team members will be there to guide and mentor you every step of the way.
For any questions or further information, feel free to reach out to Steve Dionne, Julie Nelligan and Adele Southcott at hospitality@trinitywheaton.org.
Parent Coffee Connection
Looking for a quiet moment and a chance to connect with other parents before worship? Join us for Parent Coffee Hour, except during school breads, from 9:30–10:00 AM in Room 8. This relaxed weekly gathering is a great way to meet fellow parents and ease into the morning with a warm cup of coffee.
While the kids are in Sunday School, take time for yourself to enjoy conversation and community. Whether you’re new to Trinity or a longtime member, all parents are welcome!
