God's Naturehood: Adult Edition checked out Palmer Park (Wyoming) this afternoon. We spotted some very interesting fungi and chased a herd of deer down the trail. Plus we managed to sing "Happy Birthday" to a stranger mid walk. We chatted about movies, school, family, work, and all things nature (snakes, bugs & more). Join us next month for fun & fellowship while getting your steps in. Fall dates & locations coming soon!

This weekend we roll into August. How's your Travelin' with Trinity workbook going?! Check out these friends that recently made a Morning Altar and walked together at the St. Francis Sculpture Garden at the Dominican Center. That's a badge for each of them!!

What is Travelin' with Trinity? It's a way to stay connected with your church family this summer as we take you on a journey of reading, practicing, and connecting with the goal of building deeper relationships with each other and with God. Pick a few Summer Camp activities or do them all - the choice is up to you!

Travelin’ with Trinity is designed for all ages and for multiple learning styles with the goal of keeping you engaged and inspired all summer long. Get a paper copy in the Narthex or Parlor or save the digital copy linked below for checking off badges virtually. Workbooks are available starting June 7th and are due August 20th.
