Helping Each Other (HEO)

HEO began in 1979 under the auspices of Trinity’s United Methodist Women. It was organized to “maintain a network of lay persons to assist the pastors and congregation, through providing a supportive, caring ministry to members of Trinity United Methodist church and, when possible, to our community.” With that vision, HEO was born. Since that time, HEO has been a vital part of ministry at Trinity. HEO utilizes lay volunteers in a ministry of care and encouragement to those who are recuperating, who are going through challenging times of transition, who are homebound, or who have other special needs that HEO can fill. Hillary Ryan is Trinity’s HEO Coordinator and she stands ready to pull together resources when help is needed.   Click here to learn more

Prayer Partners

Two by Two is a prayer partner program at Trinity that includes children grades 2-5 and adults. It will be starting up again this spring under the direction of Elizabeth and Emily Hirst and Barbara Hynes.Children are invited to become partners in prayer with adults in our congregation for a two-year period. For the first year, the adult will know the identity of the child for whom he/she is praying, but the student will not. Each will be asked to pray daily for their partner. Adults also are encouraged to remember the student on birthdays and other special times with a card or a note from their secret “partner.”

A gathering will be held next spring to reveal the partners to each other. They will then continue as partners for an additional year during which time we encourage them to develop their friendship and care for each other.

Children and adults turning in registration sheets will be paired  two by two. Children will receive a note when they have been paired with an adult partner. Adults will receive information about their special student and a photo.

For more information contact Barbara Hynes.

The Prayers and Squares Quilt Ministry

The Prayers and Squares Prayer Quilt Ministry combines the gift of prayer with the gift of quilt making. A group of volunteers meet on the last Wednesday of each month at 6:30 in Room 308 to make a variety of quilts. These quilts are then available for those who are in a spiritual or physical crisis, and in need of lots of prayer. Periodically, prayer quilts will be available for prayer during worship services and other events at the church. The prayer quilt is made with tassels that are to be tied after a prayer is said for the recipient. Once the quilt is full of prayers, the quilt is then given to the recipient, so that they can be covered in prayer during their crisis. To make a request for a prayer quilt, please complete this form and return it to Trinity. For more information contact Hillary Ryan.
