As we celebrate the third Sunday of Lent, we will do so in a spirit of love and concern for our greater community in light of the expanding COVID-19 crisis. In accordance with Olympia Presbytery's strong recommendation that all Pierce County churches cancel services, the Trinity Session has voted that Trinity will be canceling our in-person worship service, and will move to an online service for this Sunday.
Again, we will not be gathering for an in-person worship service on Sunday, March 15th.
The Trinity Session is hard at work, discerning the next steps for the shape of our worship services and other Trinity gatherings and programs during the COVID-19 crisis. We will communicate this information as quickly as we are able in the coming week. Look for a special eNews in your inbox on the evening of Saturday, March 14th, with a link to the pre-recorded service, and other resources to bring to your worship experience this Sunday.

As 2019 comes to an end, the work on Trinity Presbyterian Church and the Bryant Neighborhood Center continue!
In the Sanctuary, we can see the start of the floor separating our two new classrooms!
The Radiators are gone! Thanks to our updated HVAC system, the antiquated hunks of metal have been removed from the Sanctuary, Sunday School rooms, Fellowship Hall, and everywhere else!
Outside, the Stair Tower is rising tall! A new, ADA Ramp is coming next, fitting in the space between the stair tower and Trinity House.
In the Bryant Neighborhood Center, we see some big changes, especially in the kitchen!
Before construction, the kitchen was a Sunday School Room with a Dutch Door Entrance (red). This is being filled in to facilitate a new custodial closet. The New Kitchen will have a big, open, pass-through window (green), and a door directly into the Great Room (blue).
The old, unused fireplace has been removed, and now the wall is being framed in to fill the gap. Current plans put the oven here, where the fireplace used to be.
From the Great Room, we look at the kitchen and see the new Kitchen Door (blue), the Pass-Through Window (green), and enlarged Custodial Closet (orange).
And the work continues! Crew of Trinity volunteers are scrapping walls in preparation for paint, Cascade Masonry continues their work of cleaning and restoring the exterior brick, and the team at Mountain Construction continues to press on. We are so grateful for the many talented hands who keep this project moving forward into the new year!
Construction continues on Trinity’s building as Trinity’s second Internal campaign begins! Passersby can even see some of the change from the outside of the building; it’s exciting progress!
For other work done in the church building, click here. Click here to review the June Update!
The Courtyard The space between Trinity House and Trinity Church will become the new Bryant Neighborhood Center Courtyard! This open, ADA accessible entrance will help identify the BNC as a friendly space open to the neighborhood.
The Kitchen The kitchen in Trinity’s Lower Level is moving! Rather than sitting in front of the courtyard entrance, the kitchen will relocate to a former classroom in the corner of the lower level. It means that the main room will have an even greater capacity for large group meetings, or more space to break out into small groups. Either way, the people in the Center will still have a crowd-friendly kitchen to make their meals.
The Stair Tower Looking across the Fellowship Hall on the main floor, we see where walls have been removed, making way for future access to the stair tower, an essential component to the seismic retrofit of the building. The third photo, taken from the outside of the building, shows a series of plywood panels that mark where access to the stair tower will be.
Fences & Scaffolding for the Roofer While not totally surrounding the building, the fences do cut off access to the newly created entrances, while the scaffolding allows access to the upper parts of the exterior walls and the roof. Before the weather turns rainy, the construction team is replacing the roof. It’s a race to see if the roof can be completed before the rains come.
Grouting With a brick building, it’s important to take the time to grout, and fill the spaces between the bricks. This was a significant step in our building process, and we are so grateful to have found a team willing to do the work on a building as old as Trinity.
What’s Next?, completing the courtyard, and building the stair tower. We’re excited to see the work continue to progress!
Will you consider coming alongside us in support of this goal? A donation to the Here for Good Campaign for the Bryant Neighborhood Center will help us through the decisions associated with this significant construction project. Every gift has an impact as we work to build a welcoming space for all!

Last Sunday, October 27th, Trinity’s youth ventured to Maris Farms for what turned out to be a gorgeous fall day. We got lost in the corn maze, enjoyed some tasty fall treats, and played human foosball. If you want to hear more about our awesome afternoon, talk to one of our youths. Many thanks to Erica Mariani, Julie Cramer, and Anna Herron for chaperoning! Enjoy these photos from our adventure.
Since October of 2011, the term “Transformational Presence” has been a guiding term for Trinity’s ministry posture here in the Bryant Neighborhood. Trinity strives to be an authentic faith community whose presence not only brings relief and compassion to those in crisis, but hope through our efforts around education, advocacy, and authentic relationships with our neighbors. In all that we do as a community, as we learn from one another and step into each others’ lives, our prayer is that mutual transformation takes place among us all. During the month of October, we focus on our commitment here at Trinity to live out this calling here, in this place, together
On Bryant Sunday, we honor the 33 year partnership between Bryant Montessori and Trinity Presbyterian Church. This Sunday, we’ll invite a panel of teachers to share with us during service.
On Wednesday, September 4th, Trinity joined the Teacher Meet and Greet at Bryant Montessori to hand out backpacks and school supplies! All told, we supported 100 Bryant and Jason Lee Middle School students with backpacks and school supplies.
With our church building under construction this year, we knew we would not be able to serve as many students as usual. Yet, while we planned to only support half as many students, the generosity of our donors went unchanged. In the end, we provided each student receiving more supplies than ever before.
Trinity certainly could not have accomplished this on our own. We are so thankful to our partners at https://ipctacoma.org and AllianceOne Receivables who collected supplies on our behalf, as well as Thrivent Financial, supporting with funding for backpacks. And of course, we are grateful to the many Trinity members who donated backpacks, funding for school supplies, or their time to support this work. Additionally, we’d like to give a big THANK YOU to the many hands who came along to sort supplies, arrange backpacks, hand out cookies, and offer a smiling face to the kids in our neighborhood as they prepare to go back to school. None of this would have been possible without you!
Dear Church Family,
I walked to Trinity this morning for the first time in three months (!), and was excited to see construction fences up, and to hear the sound of an excavator digging a hole between the church and Trinity House. We are certainly in full swing and lots has been going on over the time we’ve been away on Sabbatical.
First and foremost, I want to thank the Trinity community for this sabbatical season over the past three months. It was an incredible gift to be able to completely un-plug from my responsibilities at Trinity, and to embrace a time of rest and family and renewal. Many of you took on added responsibilities in order to make this sabbatical time possible, especially in the midst of our building project. So, on behalf of the entire Robbins-Ghormley clan, we offer our heartfelt gratitude.
This Sabbatical time gave me the gift of extended time to get back into my own skin, to remember in a deep way who I am, and who God is. We tried to embrace what the Sabbath is all about - a time to cease work and to spend time in the things that truly give us life. We had generous amounts of unhurried time and made it into a summer filled with adventures together as a family. We spent much of the summer outside, camping and hiking and fishing and kayaking and swimming and sharing many meals with neighbors, family and old friends. We had the incredible opportunity to play on the beaches of Kauai, and to explore that beautiful place. I enjoyed reading several great books and studying with Andy Crouch at Regent College’s Summer School in Vancouver B.C. on navigating our technological age for family and church (which I hope to share with all of you in a class I’ll teach at Trinity soon). I re-built the front porch of our house, and got a good start on a re-siding project of our garage. Lydia did great on all of our adventures, is growing every day (four months and counting), and all four of the other R-Gs are now completely smitten with her.
My only contact with any of you was when I happened to run into you around town, and the Trinity eNews - so there is lots to catch up on! I look forward to seeing you all soon and hearing your stories, and am glad to be back with you in worship on this upcoming Sunday, September 1st at Wright Park.
God’s Peace be with you,
Every summer, a team of Trinity Outreach Staff and some incredible youth volunteers facilitate Camp Trinity, a two week extravaganza bringing together K-5th grade campers from the church, neighborhood, and nearby schools.
With the Trinity Presbyterian Church building under construction, we were grateful to be hosted by Jason Lee Middle School, one of our partner schools across the street. Our 35 campers embraced the new setting, playing Hide-and-Go-Seek in the classrooms, and endless rounds of Mushroom Tag in the baseball diamond.
For the first time, Camp Trinity traveled downtown to TinkerTopia! This incredible shop and TinkerSpace is an opportunity to creatively re-use materials that might otherwise go to a landfill. From foam pieces, to discarded laser cut wood, to fabric scraps, campers pushed the limits of their imagination as they turned things into other things, under the guidance of the kind and capable Ms. Darcy.
One morning, we invited our partners at the Tacoma Rescue Mission to host a workshop. Outreach Coordinator, Hayley Uliana, gave campers the opportunity to consider what they understood and perceived about homelessness, then played “True or False” to give campers and leaders alike the chance to learn important facts about our neighbors without homes, inspiring continued conversation throughout the afternoon.
Campers enjoyed a trip to Sail at Sandpoint, an annual highlight! Our incredible hosts provide us with kayaks for the kids to try out, as well as catamarans staffed with skilled volunteers. In true Pacific Northwest style, our staff campers paddled, sailed, and swam, even in the rain!
All this and more filled the two weeks of camp, a summer highlight for staff and kids alike! When the Bryant Neighborhood Center opens next year, we’ll look forward to hosting camp in our revitalized space, designed for opportunities just like this!
Six weeks ago, we packed up the last box, carried out the last bookshelf and stowed the last pew bible from the church for the start of construction! We’ve seen multiple dumpsters arrive, fill up, and leave as the team from Mountain Construction has been hard at work in our space.
Tip: Use the left/right buttons to switch between the before and in-progress photos.
When Trinity last hosted service in our space, the front of the sanctuary had already experienced a measure of demolition. Volunteers had carefully removed parts of the choir loft so that congregants could memorialize the old, familiar wood in other projects. Now, the entire choir loft has been removed. The beautiful, old trellis has been taken down, and the floor demolished. Soon, we’ll see this big, open space converted into two stories of Sunday School classrooms, with a soundproof wall filling in the arched space. The second two photos are a before and after of what was the shed, formerly located below the floor of the choir loft.
For several years, an old roof resulted in water damage on several areas of the ceiling. The damage has been removed, with the happy report that there is no evidence of dry rot in the beams. We may choose to leave the plaster off these walls to allow the beautiful brick to accent our space. Don’t worry! The historic stained glass is being carefully preserved throughout the whole process.
Stepping into the Fellowship Hall, you’ll hear the crinkle of plastic protecting the carpet, and immediately notice that the wall separating the Sacristy, more commonly known as the “Flower Room,” and the pre-school play room has been demolished. This allows space for a future stair tower, which will both both connect all three floors of the building, and provide a measure of seismic stability.
In the upper level Sunday School rooms, we see two distinct types of working occurring.
First, in these rooms and throughout the building, a stretch of ceiling drywall has been removed to expose the beams. This allows for Mountain Construction to access the “bones” of the building and put in the necessary seismic upgrades.
Next, especially in classrooms with external, brickwork walls, the drywall has been removed to allow access to the masonry. We were delighted to learn that our brick work is in decent shape considering the age of the building. Any old, crumbled brick will be removed, and grout poured into the walls to fill the gaps. For now, we see the brick behind the walls of these classrooms.
When Trinity committed to staying here and fixing this building, we were also committing to continue to serve the surrounding neighborhood. Out of that vision comes the Bryant Neighborhood Center.
Overall, the entrance to the lower level from the ramp is going to look incredibly different. While these pictures don’t speak of the future changes, such as the stair tower entrance and ADA ramp, you can see the work that has been started to open and brighten this space.
If you visited The Great Room before, you’d find a number of stable, but temporary walls dividing the room into storage areas for Pat’s Closet. Not anymore! By taking down these walls, we are making space for flexible seating and programming. From one-on-one meetings, to larger group opportunities, this revitalized area will be prepared to host a variety of diverse groups.
Since 1922, the Trinity Gym has hosted thousands of kids and adults alike for basketball, foursquare, and just about any other type of recreation you can imagine. We are pleased to report that the dangling ceiling tiles have been entirely removed, as has the flooring, and we are preparing for the next 97 years of play and recreation in this important space.
Similar to the Sunday School Classrooms in the upper level, the bulk of the planned work in the Learning Center will be the tasks surrounding the seismic retrofit. Here, removed ceiling tiles show the progress being made.
Work has not yet begun inside the lower level kitchen. We know that the new entrance to the Bryant Neighborhood Center will open against the wall where the stove formerly sat. We hope to remove the walls to open the Great Room even wider, while moving the kitchen to a different space in the lower level. A shared meal is an important and meaningful tool for community. However, the cost associated with moving gas lines and installing a range hood might prohibit these goals. We continue to raise funds, with a functional, hospitable, community-focused Bryant Neighborhood Center (and kitchen!) in mind.
Will you consider coming alongside us in support of this goal? A donation to the Here for Good Campaign for the Bryant Neighborhood Center will help us through the decisions associated with this significant construction project. Every gift has an impact as we work to build a welcoming space for all!

How much did we raise? $21,000!
Not only is this the most money we’ve ever raised at the Trinity Outreach Auction, it more than surpassed the goals we had established for this year!
We are incredibly grateful to the many people who helped make this possible. This includes our generous event sponsors: Dukesbay Theater, Mountain Construction, and Broderick Architects.
Additionally, we’d like to thank the many businesses and organizations who donated items for our silent and live auctions. The wonderful response from our neighbors is always to encouraging, and a significant part of the night!
In the same way, we appreciate the many, many Trinity people who donated auction items: from beautiful art pieces and overflowing goody baskets, to acting lessons and vacation rentals. And another thank you to the many people who brought in platters of snacks for us to enjoy throughout the evening!
Finally, thank you to everyone who attended, who bidded on auction items, who bought raffle tickets, and who “raised a paddle” for the programs at Trinity. In many ways, the work and relationships of the Trinity Outreach programs could not exist without this tangible support from our community. Thank you for giving and attending and being a part of our night at the Trinity Outreach Auction.

Trying something new can be difficult for all of us. Daniel Akamine, one of the Bobcat Learning Center Staff members reflects on watching the middle school students move outside their comfort zone.
For Spring Break, the Bobcat Learning Center took a group of Jason Lee Middle School students to Climb Tacoma, which is an indoor bouldering gym. All of the students got the opportunity to boulder and took the leap of faith to overcome the mental and physical challenges of bouldering. During this outing you could hear many of our students positively encouraging each other to figure out new routes on the bouldering wall as well as provide tips to each other to reach their bouldering goals.
Many of our students were not afraid to ask for advice from experienced climbers, such as Brian Doyle who is one of the founders of Climb Tacoma. Brian and Climb Tacoma staff members provided a welcoming and supportive environment for the Jason Lee students. As a staff member at the Bobcat Learning Center it was inspiring to see Jason Lee students who had never bouldered or climbed before step out of their comfort zone and try something unlike the traditional sports they are used to.
On Saturday, April 27th at 9:00AM, come to Trinity and help us pack up the church for our big move and construction project!!

During the season of Lent, various members of Trinity’s community will share what has nurtured their faith during their life’s journey. This week, we hear from Mark.
For the last few years, I’ve been consumed with CS Lewis’ The Great Divorce. Lewis’ depictions of Heaven and Hell are so practical and play out in our daily interactions with one another. The characters and stories both inspire me, and quite frankly haunt me.
One encounter is illustrated in chapter 4, when a man encounters a heavenly figure on the road to Heaven. It turns out this heavenly figure was a murderer and the other a self-described righteous man. The irony is the murderer, who has embraced his redemption, is to help the self-righteous man understand the ways of Heaven. However, the self-righteous man is insulted by this requirement and states “I’d rather be damned than go along with you”.
This past week, my oldest son, Luke, and I were talking through the Lenten youth study questions and were talking about the “Parable of the Prodigal Son”. A question is posed why this parable is sometimes described as the “Parable of the Two Lost Sons”. We explored together how each son could be “lost”, including the more responsible and dutiful older brother. Luke thoughtfully replied, “He is lost in his jealousy”.
Both instances challenge my view of God’s love and force me to wonder if my faith is big enough. When I feel like the prodigal son, this is a relief. But when I feel like the older brother, this is challenging. Either way---my faith is forced to grow when dealing with the truth. - Mark
During the season of Lent, various members of Trinity’s community will share what has nurtured their faith during their life’s journey. This week, we hear from Pat B.
In a time when people are insatiable in their drive for the newest technology, Pat reflects that what feeds her faith is the ancient practice of scripture memorization.
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7”
Smartphones have given us quick access to the Bible and daily devotionals, so it can be easy to forget the importance of memorizing scripture. Each week during the school year our kids memorize a bible verse, and we, as a family, have two scriptures that we get to reflect on together throughout the week. In a decade where technology is disrupting every aspect of our lives, reflecting on scripture is a great way to feed our faith. As a parent, we don’t have a full appreciation of struggles our kids will face each day, but what we do know is that having Scripture hidden in their hearts can help them face whatever life, and technology, throws at them. God is with them every step of the way. - Pat B.
During the season of Lent, various members of Trinity’s community will share what has nurtured their faith during their life’s journey. This week, we hear from Emily C.
I have two things that have fed and nurtured my faith tremendously in the last year. I know I was supposed to pick one, but both have been so tender to me that I can’t leave one out!
Author Rachel Held Evans has been a very important voice in my life as I have gone through the process of my faith being deconstructed and yet never being able to walk away from the Truth of the message of Jesus and the radical story of God told throughout the history of God’s people. Rachel has never shied away from asking hard questions or acknowledging her doubts. In 2018, Rachel wrote a new book called “Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again.” If you, like me, sometimes wonder what you’re doing here… If you, like me, can’t quite disentangle yourself from the hope and the doubting… If you, like me, could use an honest and endearing peek back into some of the most familiar stories in the Bible, this book might be something that feeds your spiritual life.
Singer and songwriter Andrew Peterson has written some of our family’s favorite music over the last few years. If you’re a parent of littles and you don’t have Slugs & Bugs (Andrew Peterson and Randall Goodgame) in your life, do yourself a favor and go buy or stream them straight away. In 2018, Andrew released a new album called “Resurrection Letters: Volume 1.” The whole album is good, but the song “Is He Worthy” has been almost a daily centering ritual for me over the last several months. The simple words and elegantly composed choral arrangement feed my soul no matter how joyful or weary it may be. It’s honest, beautiful, and hopeful.
