FELLOWSHIP CLUB
The Fellowship Club is an organization of Trinity members that meet for fun and fellowship. They meet the second Wednesday of the month at 10:30 a.m. in the Family Life Center, room 116. They open with prayer and devotion followed by an interesting program. The programs have taken members around the world via a slide show or entertained with a play by a local Thespian troop. The program is followed by a wonderful potluck meal. There is always a variety of delicious food because this group can really cook. After the meal, some of the members stay to play games, which always includes at least one table of dominos.
The group also takes day trips to visit local attractions. They use the Precinct 4 County Bus, which is free but is limited to people over 50 years of age. You have to pay for your own lunch and there may be a charge for the event depending on the activity but it is always very reasonable.
This is a fun group that enjoys many activities. Come be a part of the fun and fellowship the 2nd Wednesday of the month in room 116 at 10:30 in the morning.
"We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done.” Psalm 78:4b
