We have openings in the following positions:
Help with the Welcome Table in the Narthex. The E-Team needs friendly folks to assist at the welcome table in the Narthex where members and visitors get name badges and information about Trinity.
Tour Guides are needed for Sundays and for tour groups by appointment during the week. We want to be able to provide tours every Sunday and to respond positively to the increasing number of requests from groups. The more people out there helping us spread Trinity's story, the better!
Photographers are needed to take photos of new members and at events around the parish. All you need is a digital camera and the memory to bring it with you.
Worship Leaders are needed to sustain our ministry of Evening Prayer every weekday at 5:30 p.m. in the church.
Wedding Guild Members are needed to assist with Trinity Weddings from time to time.
If you are able to assist in any of these ways, please let us know by sending a message to info@trinitygalv.org. |

Three teams of  parishioners cook and serve approximately 150 simple meals at an average cost of $1/person. If you would like to support this important ministry through a donation, please drop a check in the collection plate or bring/mail it to the church office. BE SURE to note on the memo line that the donation is for the Salvation Army meals! |
Wear your Trinity lapel pin!
By wearing your Trinity lapel pin, you invite others to ask about its significance, thereby providing a natural opportunity to speak about your church and its meaning for your life.
