This week on RevCast: special guest Brandan Robertson, author of Q***r and Christian, helps us reset the table. Not the furniture. The Acts 2 one, where the early church grew without a building, a budget, or one ergonomically hostile pew. Pull up a chair. It's not our table anyway.

Our Friends of Rohr at Trinity (FoRT) group headed out to the Zysk Farm on Monday night for Fellowship & Strawberry Shortcake! We had an amazing evening together - talking, laughing, eating, learning, and touring the farm. A huge shout-out to Betsy K. Weems-Zysk & John Zysk for hosting!

FoRT Summer event flyers went out to the group via email this week and paper copies are available in the Parlor.

If you've ever considered attending one of the FoRT Small Groups, consider joining us for our Annual Ice Cream Social on Thursday, August 27th. It's a great opportunity to find out more!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our conversation with Brandan Robertson! Your presence, thoughtful questions, and engagement made the evening truly special. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather, learn, and grow together as we continue building a community where all are welcomed, valued, and affirmed.

A special thank you as well to GIFT Grand Rapids for helping sponsor this event and supporting spaces for meaningful conversation, connection, and inclusion.

Pride Month 2026 – Justice

Pride has always been rooted in the ongoing work of justice — standing against discrimination, uplifting
marginalized voices, and working toward a world where all people are treated with dignity and respect.

At Trinity UMC, we affirm that faith calls us to love boldly and pursue justice compassionately. During Pride Month, we recommit ourselves to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and advocating for communities too often pushed to the margins.

May we continue building a church and community where everyone can live authentically, safely, and fully loved.

One great way to celebrate Pride Month is by showing up for your local LGBTQ+ community! Consider attending a local Pride festival, supporting LGBTQ+ vendors and organizations, or volunteering your time to help make these events welcoming and successful.

Whether you're marching, cheering from the sidelines, staffing a booth, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your presence helps create a community where everyone is seen, valued, and celebrated.

Happy Pride! Let's continue building communities of love, inclusion, and belonging for all.

Pride Month 2026 – Community

At Trinity, we believe community is built when people are welcomed, valued, and loved exactly as they are. During Pride Month, we celebrate the beauty and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and give thanks for the relationships that strengthen our shared life together.

We are grateful for the many individuals, families, friends, and community partners who continue to help create spaces of belonging, compassion, and hope in Grand Rapids and beyond.

Happy Pride Month from Trinity UMC!

Our “days of small things” Family Camp may be over but we made some big memories!

On Sunday we “got tiny” and enjoyed worship, southern style dinner, picto-charades, colorful campfires, youth mini golf, a quest for small things, stories, s’mores, a movie night, and more!

Thanks to everyone who joined us, for all the helping hands with cooking, cleaning, packing & prep, and for the community we created! Family camp is FAMILY camp because of all of you. ❤️

Our first full day at Family Camp is a wrap! We drank coffee & cocoa, crafted, shared a brats & dogs dinner, played kickball, rode on the tire swing, walked to the beach, and so much more!

And always we were thinking about the “small things” in life. The actual little things - bugs, mushrooms, squirrels - and the little actions that when put together make a big difference.
