Welcome Center Volunteers Needed
Is your schedule opening up this fall? If so, please consider volunteering a couple Wednesday afternoons each month as a receptionist at the Welcome Center.

Family Recovery Meetings Offered by the Trinity Recovery and Support Ministry
An individual's substance use disorder greatly affects their family and friends, and as a result these families need support, education, and encouragement during the recovery process. Trinity's Recovery and Support Ministry will be hosting a weekly group meeting that provides both the information and guidance that families need to deal with the immediate crises of substance abuse.
Any adult who has a family member or loved one with a Substance Use Disorder is encouraged to attend each Monday from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm in Room 114. For more information, please contact Kay Roman at 803.738.7043 or Richard Breibart at 803.261.6577.

Reading Matters!
Do you have an hour to spare each week? Local faith leaders and congregations have partnered with Richland School District One to create a program called Reading Matters.

Volunteer tutors would commit to one hour a week for the 2019 - 2020 school year. Two training sessions will be held at Trinity for volunteer tutors in August.
