WHO WE ARE
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, Trinity welcomes you!
We are a nurturing Christian community that celebrates diversity, embraces Anglican worship in its many forms, emphasizes our youth, assists the least fortunate and worships the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Trinity has room for longtime followers of Christ, for people new to their faith, for doubters and for everyone in between. We believe that every person is both a teacher and a student, no matter how old or young. We are at our best when we listen and grow together. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, Trinity welcomes you!

100% TRINITY STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
We ask you to join us as we make our commitments for the coming year because each of us is part of 100% Trinity. You are part of Trinity parish, and Trinity parish needs you.
FOOD DRIVE
Your help is needed to ensure our social justice commission can meet the needs of the families they serve. The SJC provides food assistance to those facing the challenges of deportation and immigration issues. Food deliveries are more than food in the bellies of families on the edge, they are love and support made visible. Please help share God's love with generous gifts of the most-needed items.

ACOLYTES NEEDED
Summertime training for new acolytes and chalice bearers begins soon. If you, or a family member, are interested in serving at the altar as a torch bearer (carrying the candles), crucifer (carrying the cross), thurifer (carrying the incense in the “thurible”), or chalice bearer (giving the wine at communion), sign up for training this summer!

BOOK DISCUSSION: WHEN THE HEART WAITS BY SUE MONK KIDD
Deacon Deborah will facilitate this book discussion on Mondays from 7:00pm to 8:00pm on Zoom, beginning October 3rd. "Blending her own experience with an intimate grasp of spirituality, Sue Monk Kidd relates the passionate and moving tale of her spiritual crisis, when life seemed to have lost meaning and her longing for a hasty escape from the pain yielded to a discipline of “active waiting.” Full of wisdom, poise, and grace, Kidd’s words will encourage us along our spiritual journey, toward becoming who we truly are."

SYRINGE EXCHANGE/COLLECTION
Did you know that, in Oklahoma, individuals who use needles for diabetes treatment, hormone replacement therapy and many other reasons, have no reliably free and accessible way to dispose of their bio-waste? That's why Trinity hosts a monthly syringe take back event with the Oklahoma Harm Reduction Association on the 3rd Saturday of every month. All are welcome.
