Adult Programs

ChurchNext: An online resource of short, self-directed courses on a wide variety of faith-related topics, ChurchNext can be accessed by following the directions on handouts available from the Christian Formation office or the Christian Formation bulletin board.

Cursillo: Beginning in Spain as a post-WWII effort to reintegrate war-weary veterans, Cursillo has spread to become a weekend of faith renewal for lay Christians. Reviewing and re-introducing a variety of spiritual practices, the weekend leaders send participants back into their communities for “group reunions” and “Ultreya” to keep the spirit of Christian life alive and vital.

Diocesan Resource Center: The diocesan Resource Center is a library and media center located at 1551 Tenth Ave., Seattle is a lending library serving congregations, programs and individuals in the Diocese of Olympia, providing religious resources, with emphasis on materials for ministry, and including books on the reading list for the College for Congregational Development.

Education for Ministry: The Education for Ministry program is a four year curriculum developed by the University of the South (Sewanee) in Central Tennessee. This theological education supports the faith of lay persons of any educational level and prepares us to “love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ Our Lord.” Through study, prayer and reflection, participants move toward a new understanding of God’s kingdom. The study groups are typically 1-12 people who read the assigned material and discuss it with others once a week. Some groups are entirely online. Please contact the Director of Christian Formation, Leah Timberlake, for more information.

Episcopal 101: A six week course in the origins, history and articles of faith of the Episcopal Church. Taught by the rector during Lent, applicants for confirmation and new Episcopalians are encouraged to attend.

Labyrinth: There are many ways to describe a labyrinth. It is a path of prayer, a walking meditation, a crucible of change, a watering hole for the spirit and a mirror of the soul. The labyrinth is a circular pattern found in many cultures, ancient and modern, around the world. One feature labyrinths have in common is that they have one path that winds in a circuitous way to the center. The labyrinth at Trinity is borrowed from St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle twice a year: once in Advent and once in Lent. Schedules and guidance for using the labyrinth are available at the church and on our website during those seasons.

Library: Trinity’s own church library includes books on Anglican and Christian history, liturgy, stewardship, spirituality and prayer. Separate collections for youth and children are housed in Merrick Hall. DVDs, audio tapes, realia (artifacts) for use in home altars and prayer are available to borrow.

Prayer: The Trinity Table in the Guild Room on the Narthex level has a variety of free literature about forms of prayer and deepening one’s prayer life. Forward Movement costs a $1.00 donation and has daily readings. A Cursillo leaflet offers a summary of types of prayer (available from the Christian Formation office or the Church Office). Finally, Daughters of the King , Centering Prayer and Wednesday Wisdom Fellowship offer regular opportunities to pray with others outside of church services.

Wednesday Wisdom Fellowship: The mission of WWF is to make a difference in your life through prayer and friendship. WWF meets on the second Wednesday of each month at noon for Noonday Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. After the service lunch is served and an activity: a speaker, games or discussion is held. Some of our programs are linked to Anglican holidays like Epiphany, where an amateur astronomer gave a program on the Three Kings. Look for a sign-up sheet on the Welcome Table in the Narthex.
