If you are interested in any of these opportunities, call the church office and we will help you get connected!  Anyone may join these groups; you do not have to be a member of Trinity Heights UMC.

Book Club: The Book Club meets at 2 PM on the third Monday of each month. They gather in the church library and discuss a book they have all read. Members take turns choosing a book and leading the discussion. New members are welcome. If you are interested, contact Marian Stubbs in the library or the church office to find out the book that will be discussed at the next meeting.
