Come join us on Tuesday morning for an always interesting discussion on a variety of topics! We meet on Zoom at 9:30 am. We read books and discuss them, look at interesting videos and discuss them and we sometimes just talk about things that are meaningful to us.
Trinity is in its 66th year! The first service was held on December 21, 1952. Read about this first service and many other interesting developments during those initial ten years on our History page.

We have a calendar that shows "who is meeting where' each month. With four different ministries, it can get a bit confusing. Just go to the Calendar tab on the left hand side of the page and the drop down will say "Room Usage Calendar."
Here is a photo of the goods we collected this year to be delivered to Good Sam!
As part of our Mission 1 effort in the fall of 2011 we began collecting can goods and other non perishable items that can go to feed the hungry in our county. Our goal was to collect 111 items by the end of the month and we collected over 300. The items went to our sister church, Good Samaritan in Pinellas Park. "Good Sam" has had a food pantry for 45 years and serves approximately 2800 people a year. They are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 9:00 am to noon and accept monetary donations as well as goods.
Helping Good Sam in 2011 started a great tradition! We have kept it going by continually donating to this very worthwhile project so please keep bringing in those canned goods, peanut butter and paper products. Good Sam is very appreciative!!
The
items can be placed by our worship table in the Chapel. For more information

We have established an on going ministry with local nursing home, Balanced Healthcare (formerly Jacaranda Manor). We send greeting cards every quarter to the residents. We have made care packages filled with toiletries and other goodies. So many times, people living in nursing home situations are forgotten. We have seen the joy in their eyes when we come to visit and encourage anyone in our community to reach out to a nursing home to volunteer. You will be happy you did! Jacaranda's caring activity director, Barbara, has made working with the nursing home so easy and fun. Many thanks to the wonderfully committed staff at Balanced Healthcare and for the members of our congregation who contribute items and cards!
The address is 4250 66th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33709.

Apollo Nursing Home
Trinity also has a greeting card ministry with Apollo Nursing Home. We enjoy playing bingo with the residents on a couple of Fridays each month. Last December our congregation adopted several Apollo residents and gave them Christmas gifts.
Celebrate Outreach
Trinity is very concerned about food insecure individuals and families who live in Pinellas County. A good portion of our outreach budget goes to supplying food for the community. One such organization is Celebrate Outreach, a partnership of St. Petersburg-area faith-based congregations and individuals which is dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in our area.
Missio Dei
Trinity also donates funds to Missio Dei, a faith based organization that serves food to the homeless twice a week at 900 Dr. MLK Jr. Street S. in St. Petersburg. As their website says, "There is a church that cares about community more than dogma, about an open mind more than uniformity, about being more than believing, about doing the right thing more than just talking about it. An imperfect church of imperfect people inviting other imperfect people to find the perfect love. This church is for dreamers, skeptics, cynics, and seekers." That sort of says it all and we are proud to partner with Missio Dei.
