Care and Support

Ministry at Trinity Baytown

The most obvious expression of our love for our neighbor is found in the caring ministries of Trinity Church. As we provide for the physical and spiritual needs of both our members and our neighbors in this community and beyond, we strive to obey the instructions of Jesus and become His hands and feet, sharing His love with those in need.

Trinity has a wide variety of "hands on" ministry opportunities that we sponsor and we also participate in many joint ministries with other churches. These ministries include:

Homebound Meals - Frances Cummings (281-424-7375)
Homebound Meals is a ministry that will provide a meal for our parishioners who have just come home from the hospital. .

Sunday Morning Healing Ministry - Betty Waddell (281-470-9026)
This is a powerful ministry that goes on each Sunday during communion. It is one of our Healing Ministries, and we are in need of additional Healing Ministers.
Wednesday Evening Healing Ministry - Prayers for Healing, and the Laying-On of Hands
In this service, held from 6:15 to 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, we name particular people, places, and situations for which prayers have been specifically asked. We do this because each person and situation is known to God, not as a problem to be solved, but as a focus for His acceptance and love.
There will also be an opportunity for those who wish to come forward to receive or share in the ministry of the laying-on of hands. This can be either for themselves or for another person or situation.
If you cannot come to the service, but you have need of prayer and did not leave the request on Sunday morning for the Wednesday night healing service, and you'd like to have your name or someone else's read aloud during the service, you can e-mail The Reverend Micki Rios with your request: lemissy2@AOL.com There is power in the community coming together to pray for themselves and others!
