Trinity's Men's Group has existed as an entity for only a few years

Open to all men of the Parish, the Men's Group usually gathers at Trinity at 5:30 PM on one of the weeknights -- Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday on a more or less monthly basis. Recently we've also begun welcoming women at our monthly dinner meetings.

Often before we go to dinner, we undertake a small task to help maintain or improve the structure or grounds.  Tasks we've undertaken recently have included:

  • Maintaining the parish computers

  • Removing debris

  • Converting to energy-saving light bulbs

  • Washing windows in Walker Hall

  • Making repairs to parish furnishings

  • Helping an older parishioner move to a new home

  • Removing decades of accumulated junk from the Undercroft (with our friends at Trinity Glen)

  • Planning larger and more extensive tasks

Following our work, we adjourn to a local restaurant for fellowship and dinner.   We generally invite the men (and women) of other nearby houses of worship to join us at these dinners.

We also participate in other service functions in the parish, including assisting with setup for the annual Art Show, helping at the parish work day in the spring, and handling the grilling at the Trinity Sunday picnic and the various cookouts during the summer.
