Discipleship Group – Tuesdays, 8PM

Worship at 7:30 in the church, followed by refreshments and study downstairs or on Zoom.

As the name of our Study Group indicates, we gather to learn and talk about who we are as disciples and ways we seek to follow Jesus as his disciples. As we affirm in our baptismal covenant to, “continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship…,” being part of a community is part of who we are as disciples. We meet primarily in person but anyone who wishes to join by Zoom is welcome to join us as well (if you are planning to join by Zoom it is helpful to let me know so I can open the Zoom room). 

We begin each week with worship and a time of fellowship, before we begin our study for the evening. We are part way through our study of the 5 Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion, the mission state of Anglicans worldwide. We will wrap up this study on February 10.

For Lent we are planning to use a devotional study from the United Church of Canada, “Bless, Break, Share” as the basis of our weekly reflection on food and hunger as a spiritual practice. Food was a significant part of Jesus’ ministry whether it was eating with others or feeding others or talking about food. Food and food insecurity is also an important topic in our world today. Join us for Lent, starting February 17 (the day before Ash Wednesday). You can also choose to purchase the devotional for your own use through the United Church of Canada Bookstore online, “Bless, Break, Share.”

Other Lenten Studies

As Lent approaches, there are some additional options for study or as an alternative to our Trinity Discipleship Group. 

The Bible Remixed offers “Self-paced” courses with videos from past courses. Each course consists of approximately 5 sessions of 2 hours, which can be watched at your convenience. This is great option if you cannot attend regularly scheduled groups or courses. For more information about course and registration (typically $100), Bible Remixed Courses. 

Sisters of St. John the Divine (SSJD), “The Convent” hosts various retreats and one day events. There are several options for Lent, including their Lenten Quiet Day, on Saturday February 28 at the Convent, 233 Cummer Ave, Toronto, with the option to bring your lunch or join the sisters for their silent lunch.
