Adult Sunday School
Sunday School classes at Trinity are usually discussion-based and more of a group than a teacher-led class. Connect with others in the Trinity community and spend some of your Sunday in rich, engaging conversation and activities. Sunday School classes take place at 10:30 am when we are following our regular schedule, 9:30 am when we have a combined service schedule.
Earthbound - A small, intimate gathering with a playful mix of Nature-based and Christian elements. Discussion and elements of worship.
Meditation – This group meets in the small resource room next to the Social Justice room in the Education Wing, and usually begin around 10:45. Please contact MeditationClass@tumc.org for more information.
Social Justice – This group meets in the Social Justice room, which is the room at the northeast corner of the building (connects to the Community Hall.) We are a group of people concerned about our world and its economic and political systems. We spend our time together in conversation. We usually read a short article from a current contemporary magazine, like Utne Reader or Yes, or from a newspaper, or off of the internet. We have watched an occasional video, like For the Bible Tells Me So. Once a month, we brainstorm and write a letter to President Obama (since he was elected) and have agreed to do so during his whole presidency. We do not do any social justice actions as a group, although many of us make social justice efforts as individuals or as part of other groups like the Methodist Federation for Social Justice, or the League of Women Voters, or feeding the homeless, etc. We don’t have homework or lay on any guilt about attendance. This February 12th we start a new study of a book called Politics: Winner Takes All. We will start by watching Bill Moyer’s first episode of his new show, Moyers and Company, which is an interview of the book’s two authors: Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson. We love new people dropping by and if you want information you may contact Deana Henry at SocialJusticeClass@tumc.org or 512-480-0884.
Spanish Conversation - This group meets in the Library, which is upstairs (use the south staircase.) Would you like to learn Spanish or improve your Spanish? Would you like to help others learn Spanish? In Trinity’s Spanish Conversation class, we break into two groups: one for beginners, and one for intermediate learners. The beginners work on exercises from the textbook Puntos de Partida. The intermediate group engages in conversation, reads simple books, and occasionally practices grammar exercises. All are welcome –beginners, people who know a little or someone who is fluent. We would love to have some fluent speakers and people with a connection to Hispanic culture to help us out. We hope to study and promote awareness of Hispanic cultural issues, especially Texas Hispanic culture. We would like to help TUMC become more welcoming to the Hispanic community. Call or email Paulette Delahoussaye for more info, 632-7183 or SpanishConversation@tumc.org.
