Welcome
Welcome to Trinity, Santa Barbara.
A progressive Christian church in the Episcopal tradition, where we believe every person has a share in God’s love: a love that is inclusive, unconditional, abundant, and meant to be expressed through action in the world.
Please know that from whatever tradition you come and wherever you are in your journey of faith . . . you are welcome here.
We invite you to fill out the online welcome card so we can get to know you better. . .
Summer Food with Friends: Mid-May through August, 2024
Celebrate the abundance of our community this summer by joining other Trinity parishioners for planned potluck or restaurant meals in homes or other communal locations. An excellent way to meet new people and deepen connections, the groups will convene three or four times between May and summer’s end. Each group will comprise six to eight people, including singles, couples, and families. The Summer Food with Friends groups can gather in homes, restaurants, porches, parks, backyards, and even the beach for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner.
Each group will have an appointed Shepherd who will coordinate logistics, send reminder emails before each meeting, and manage the Table Talk sharing. The in-home gatherings will have a volunteer Host, who will provide the space, the main dish, and the table settings. Meetings outside the home will have a volunteer host, and the group will decide the potluck meal. Chosen restaurants would have space for more intimate conversations.
If you would like to participate, please fill out the online or printed registration form below by May 12.
