Spiritual Formation: Wednesday at the Commons

Put a little soul refreshment in the middle of your week!

Wednesday at the Commons is Trinity's midweek learning community, which offers classes that open us to new ways of thinking, push us to go deeper in our relationships and commitments, and offer us new insights into each other and God.

Wednesday dinners are currently suspended and will resume as soon as it is safe to gather together for a meal indoors. Watch this space for updates!
