Waffle Church is a special service. Not just because waffles are served alongside fellowship, but because we believe this is a little bit like what the early church must have looked like. Sharing a meal, learning about Jesus, offering up prayer requests. In other words, being in community.

Waffle Church meets in Wagenhals Hall every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.

Join us for Theology Sunday where we discuss one question of faith, God, theology, etc. Past discussions have included:

• Is all of the Bible literal?

• How do we talk with others about difficult topics like politics?

• Reconciliation, confession, and forgiveness

We will have a light lunch ($5 donation), along with childcare if you have kids in tow. Please RSVP separately for each Theology Sunday that you’ll be attending so we know how many to expect for lunch, and if childcare is needed.

Do you have other questions? Send it over to Pastor Erdos at gerdos@trinityenglish.org, and we may discuss it in a future Theology Sunday. These meetings will continue the 4th Sunday of each month.

Being With | A Course Exploring Christian Faith and Life

Being With is for anyone who’s curious about faith — or wondering if the Christian faith has something meaningful to offer. It’s for those who perhaps feel on the edge of church — uncertain, disconnected, hurt, or simply searching for something deeper. It’s also for those who’ve never explored faith before but feel open to discovering more about their faith together with others.

Being With is a course exploring Christian faith and its relevance to our lives now —but it’s not your typical course. It’s a space for anyone who’s curious about faith, exploring Christianity, or maybe just wondering where they stand with it all. You might be returning to faith after some time away or asking whether what you once believed still holds true. Or maybe you’ve had experiences of church that left you unsure. Being With offers something gentler—a place where you can listen, share and reflect alongside others, with no pressure and no judgement. What makes it special is that we explore faith through real-life stories and honest conversation—not lectures or right answers. Whatever your story, Being With offers a gentle, honest space to reflect. It’s not about having the right answers—it’s about real conversations, shared experiences, and discovering how to live a faith that feels true to you.

This course meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 on Zoom. It runs 10 consecutive weeks from September 22–November 24. If this sounds like something for you or maybe someone you know, sign up for the Being With course this fall. If you have more questions, please speak with Amy Henderson-Hill or Pastor Erdos.
