Happiness is… April 27, May 4, May 18, May 25 ~ Instructor: Tom Westbrook
People who are happy tend to be optimistic, grateful, and have a positive outlook on life. They are often more tolerant, less judgmental, more trusting of others, and even healthier than those who report low levels of happiness. So where can I buy some happiness?
In this four-part course, Tom Westbrook will explore the topic of happiness – what it is and what it is not. We will examine the sources of happiness and how to elevate one’s happiness even during difficult times. We will also discuss how faith plays a part in one’s overall happiness. Let’s make plans for how you can elevate your happiness at home, at work, and within the church. Numerous tactics are covered in this interactive course.
April 27. Happiness is: We will start our happiness journey by examining what happiness is and is not. We will examine the components of happiness that contribute to our well-being and discuss the myths and benefits of happiness. We will also examine how our faith contributes to our overall happiness. We will end our session with action planning that you can incorporate into your daily life. Are you ready to smile?
May 4. PERK: Let’s PERK-UP your happiness by examining the four foundational components that define one’s happiness – Passion, Engagement, Resilience, and Kindness. This week we start with Passion. What are you passionate about and how does this connect to your core life values? What can you do to find and maintain passion in your life and with others?
May 18. Engagement: We will examine how one’s Engagement with others is a key factor in defining happiness and how you can elevate this component in your life. We will review the lessons-learned from the famed Harvard study (2024) on happiness that followed the lives of individuals for 80 years. Let’s end with one or two take-aways you can practice at home.
May 25. Resilience and Kindness: How do we build resilience especially in difficult times? How does Kindness to others aid our happiness? Be prepared for some interesting findings and personal action planning that will make you smile.

Ministry Teams
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Become a part of the team that is involved with helping our members--young and old--grow in their faith through Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, adult studies, and intergenerational activities. There are no dues or cooking required!
PROPERTY
It takes many people to keep up with the routine maintenance and extra projects involved with our church facilities. Join us for a specific project or become an active member of the team. We do it all--the new sound system, downspouts, faucet repairs, mulch, and more!
Hospitality
This team is all about taking care of our members and making sure our visitors are warmly received. Sometimes we show love through food--especially coffee and treats after each service.
WORSHIP
Whether it's preparing communion, decorating the sanctuary, preparing for special services, or finding ushers and worship leaders, this team is all about making worship a meaningful experience for Trinity.
INTERPRETATION & STEWARDSHIP
Organizing opportunities for our members to be generous is at the heart of the church. Stewardship pledges, capital improvement drives, and special offerings all have to be planned and organized. This group is committed to that process.
ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE
Like any organization, Trinity has bills to pay and financial responsibilities to uphold. This team ensures that budgets are followed, employees get paid, and that faith is at the heart of these "business matters."
MISSION
This team keeps mission and outreach in the forefront of Trinity's congregation. They
organize events, invite Mission Sunday speakers, allocate funds, and encourage
participation in mission opportunities.
Mission Opportunities
Trinity has a long history of mission projects and outreach. We are proud of the positive impact we have had here in our own community through our involvement in Helping Hand, Heal House, WeLift, Open Table and Habitat for Humanity. We are committed to sister parishes in El Salvador--the villages of Casa de Zinc and Casa de Zacate and support Our Sister Parish Pastoral House in Berlín, El Salvador. Trinity offers many ways to get involved in mission work that shows the love of God to our wider community.
