INVOLVEMENT REQUIRED:  The Fellowship and Nurture Team drives Trinity's social events.  This team gives leadership to our older adult group, The Trinitarians, and our younger adult group, T.A.N.G.O.  (Trinity Adults Nurturing, Gathering, and Obeying).  There are church league sports all year round, and church suppers every Second Sunday of the month.   The Fellowship Team sponsors a time after worship for snacks and coffee, lemonade and treats for those in worship to be able to be together afterward in our Parlor.

 PURPOSE:   Provides opportunities for the members and friends of our congregation to share their love for each other and to encourage each other in Godly living through programs of fellowship and recreation. Within the Fellowship and Nurture Team, there are sub-committees that direct and support the various activities.
