You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you. (St. Augustine) In the same way we need food to sustain our physical bodies, we also need spiritual food for our souls. We hunger for spiritual depth, for true identity, and purpose to nourish and sustain us. In this series we will talk about what it means that we are created to be in relationship with God. We will encourage you to practice spiritual disciplines that train us in faithfulness.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42) This Lenten season we invite you to join a small group! Small groups are an intentional group of people whose purpose is to deepen their relationship with Jesus and with each other. Small groups will meet weekly for 6 weeks from March 9 - April 13, 2025. Each small group will have a facilitator who will help lead the bible study. The study will be based on the book Soul Feast by Marjorie Thompson and will follow the Lenten Sermon series Hungry. Contact the Church Office at office@trinityalexandria.org for additional questions or concerns.

Have you ever heard God’s voice speaking to you in and through music? Has music ever made you feel as if you were in touch with something bigger than yourself?

During the season of Lent, we encourage you to participate in an email or text devotional. This year’s devotional is called “Out of the Dust.” A group of pastors (including Pastor Grace) worked together to create a devotional that is inspired by the power of music to point us to God. Each entry focuses on a song (whether an intentionally religious song or a “secular” song), connects it with Scripture or the life of faith, and offers a reflection on how this song can deepen our experience of Lent and/or our life with God. Each entry will include a Spotify link to the song for the day and there is a Spotify playlist containing all the songs that will be covered in this devotional. The devotional will be send out by email or text message throughout the season of Lent (starting on Ash Wednesday) several times a week.

Ash Wednesday Pancake Dinner & Worship, Wednesday, March 2nd, 7:30 PM: On Wednesday, March 2nd, we observe Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of Lent.
