Hello everyone and welcome to this week's episode
of Trinity Talks. My name is Kyla and this week
is National Volunteer Week here in Canada. And
as a church, as a non -profit organization, volunteers
are so critical to the work that we do here at
Trinity. And so I'm really happy to be sitting
down with a few of our volunteers and just talk
about what it is that... excite them about this
work and the impact that they are having. So
thank you for joining me, folks. You're welcome.
Great to be here. Thank you. So maybe we'll start
with some introductions. Maybe you can just say
your name and what are some of the volunteer
roles you've been doing here and how long you've
been doing that work. Very happy to be here.
My name is Bridgette and I have been volunteering
to be my second year volunteering table with
Alpha. It's a series of weekly sessions exploring
Christian faith. And it starts on April the 29th.
So I'm very excited for that. And as it's been
five months now, I've been volunteering at the
welcome desk. Okay. Yeah. Great. So you don't
need to keep your hand on the mic there. Okay,
and yeah, what about you? So my name is Liz and
I've been at Trinity for, along with my husband
Al, for 26 years now. And so in that time, you
know, I've volunteered in lots of different ministries
and just sort of explored all the various opportunities.
We started sort of in the music ministry. But
currently what I'm doing is I'm volunteering
as a member of the tech team, so running the
slides on Sundays, which initially terrified
me. I'm also involved in, I'm on the prayer chain
and on the meal train as well and the So many
things. Oh my gosh. And I'm on the Chancellor
Guild. Okay, yes. And that's it for now. That's
all I'm doing. That's all? I'm a slacker. Good,
and what about yourself? My name is Theo Fitch.
After Liz, you know, my Liz is very short. That's
okay. I've been actually Came back to 30. So
been volunteering in the welcome team for the
last two years And also help out whenever we
can on the events team So in by helping out on
this Thursday doing the cleaning up after the
committee meal So but I'm on the roster for the
welcome team. Okay. Okay, great so My first question
is just what motivated you to want to volunteer.
Why why did you get into this? Maybe we'll start
here Liz. Yeah, it's um, well what I I I find
is or have found is that volunteering is a great
way to get connected to people. You know especially
if you're coming into the church new and you
don't really know anybody and I don't know I'm
an extrovert so I like to get involved and have
my hands and things and I'm more comfortable
you know if I go to a party I'm like let me help
you serve the hors d 'oeuvres or whatever you
know and so I just sort of looked at what are
the opportunities for me to get involved and
to meet people. And then as I did different things,
I made great friends and I developed new skills
that I never thought I would be able to do. And
also, Just to be to serve right and to be to
bless people and you know come alongside people
in their journeys There you know, there's so
many great reasons to get involved. Yeah What
about for you Co? So one thing actually not just
a good deed, right? But it's also big aspect
of the Christian discipleship, right? We talked
about discipleship and for me it started off
I think is more from a sense of gratitude because
I felt when someone to a church or you go somewhere
else, they reach out to you and touch you in
many ways, right? just more than saying hello.
You know, what can I do for you? How can I help
you? That kind of helps me to set up. And like
Liz said, I'm also extrovert. I was in sales
for over 30 years. So I was love reaching people
and connecting with people. So that's part of
my way of giving back as well, right? And if
you look at the scriptures in scripture, right?
When Christians volunteer, they follow the footsteps
of Christ. who dedicated his life serving others,
and he set an example of selflessness, right?
And in Matthew 20, 28, Jesus declares, the Son
of Man did not come to be served, but to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many, you
know? And maybe I can quote another scripture,
another verse is from 1 Peter 4 .10, it says,
Each has received a gift. You see this one another
as good stewards of God's very grace. So good.
Yeah. Yeah. So the faith is a really important
part of that motivation. For sure. Yeah. Yeah.
And what about for you? Totally. I love that
scripture. Absolutely. For me, volunteering as
serving others is a way of me loving God. You
know, God has been so good to me. And it's a
way of worship and just being a disciple. And
again, to Scripture, just paying that forward.
And I remember back in, well, around Christmas
time, I really felt the Christ in Christmas.
And I thought to myself, okay, happy birthday,
baby Jesus. I need to reach out to Sally. And
I did. And I said, Sally, I'm ready to take this
to another level. I'm ready to volunteer. And
what are your thoughts about me being on the
welcome desk? Oh, Bridget, that's great, and
the whole bed. And so here I am. And it's a way
of such gratitude for all that Christ has done
for me and how I see how Christ has moved in
other people's lives. And it's just, it's so
fulfilling. Yeah. Oh, that's so good. Yeah. Yeah.
It's interesting to hear like the different angles
that you're each coming to it from, right? Because
there is that sense of connecting to our community,
connecting to our church family. But then, yeah,
also following the way of Jesus and seeing this
as something that really is a part of your particular
faith journey, right? And Trinity has been so
good to me. It's a family and it's a way of building
this church and supporting it. For sure. Yeah,
I mean, I know I think about for myself in this
church community, but in other churches that
I've been part of, it's that stepping into volunteering.
that like has then allows me to feel actually
really connected to the community. Right? Because
it's easy to walk in the door on Sunday morning
and then walk out an hour later. But if you're
there to volunteer, you get to know people in
a different way. It's a sense of belonging. For
sure. And I think too, you know, as you volunteer.
there's a depth of caring. Yes. Part of that,
right? And you just sort of grow, go deeper in
God and, you know, connecting with each other
and you care, you know, you care about this community,
you know, as you care through volunteering in
lots of different ways. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So what do you enjoy the most about volunteering?
Maybe we'll start with you, Thea. What do you
like the most? We already touched on, we just
talked about sense of belonging, right? So one
of the things that I didn't expect, which is
a great blessing, is that within the family,
we have another family, within the Trinity family,
we have another family, which is a volunteer
family. I made some good friends already, right?
So that's in itself a big blessing. We volunteers,
we help each other, a little bit more stronger
fellowship, because you obviously learn from
each other more. So not only are you getting
the blessing from serving as a volunteer but
it's also the fellowship shared among the volunteers
as well. We help each other, we cover for each
other and things like that. I can call upon another
volunteer if I can't make a particular time or
something. The other thing is, It's more meaningful
about part of someone's first impression, me
being on the welcome team. First impression of
the church, right? Helping and creating that
atmosphere. Let them exhale and relax and feel
like you belong. And make that impression for
them. And when you see even last Sunday, I met
somebody new, introduced him to Sally. And that's
in itself, sorry not last Sunday. previous son
and then she came back. So to see people are
coming back and being part of your family, that's
a blessing and you see the fruitfulness happening
there, right? Yeah, and I think about like when
we talk to folks who are new to Trinity or who
are coming for the first time, one of the things
that they'll often say is that they feel very
warmly welcomed, right? And so you get to be
a really important part of that, which is cool.
Exactly. building deep, meaningful relationships.
It's like one body, many parts, all working together.
For sure. What about for you? What do you enjoy
the most about volunteering? You summed it up
exactly. Definitely. Just again, building deep,
meaningful relationships, knowing where you are
in your journey and seeing someone come in for
the first time and just being of... discipleship
for them, like being there for them. And I just
hand it over to God. It's like, you know, I believe
the Holy Spirit just works through us and volunteer,
and just leave it to, leave it to God. Definitely.
For sure. And what about for you, Liz? So, I
would say, I think, you know, when I look back
at the different volunteer roles that I've had,
I look at them all through a lens of hospitality.
I just realize over the years how important hospitality
is to me. And I define it really broadly. It's
not just about having people over for dinner
or whatever, but it's welcoming people, helping
people to feel comfortable in our space, in the
service, in whatever way. And that really blesses
me. And I think about working on the chancel
guild, which is the group of people who prepare
all the elements for communion and look after
the chalices and wash the red wine stains out
of the linen, all of that stuff behind the scene.
But I think about, well, that work is like I'm
setting the Lord's Table for the whole congregation
to participate in. And I think, and I love that
Trinity is really oriented toward hospitality.
And the broader that we can sort of... You know
define that and implement that that you know
the better in my view Yeah, for sure. I felt
that with the community meal. I know that I volunteered
Yeah, yeah community mill the same way. Yeah,
it's beautiful. Just all coming together. Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely Yeah, yeah for sure So the theme
for National Volunteer Week here in Canada this
year is volunteers make waves. Which I think
is just a really fun kind of imagery. Yeah, but
I want you to think about in your own life, I'm
sure that there have been volunteers who have
made waves in your life. Volunteers who have
impacted you in some way. So maybe we can just...
Do a little bit of storytelling here. Um, I'm
looking at her. So, um, there's been many, but
I'll start with Liz. I remember coming to the
first, was it the lunch, the welcome lunch on
your first Sunday on my first Sunday. And I think
I was a little terrified. I was out of sorts
and Liz was just, she was love and she was welcoming.
And then from there it was, uh, Jane and Wally,
who now I'm in there. and I went to Alpha and
Sally and Cathy at the welcome desk. I remember
going to the welcome desk the first Sunday I
came here and I'm like, so what's this all about?
No, seriously, right? All of that. And just,
when you say making waves, the analogy when I
read that, it was like making waves, I was lost
at sea and these waves brought me to shore. And
this is through the help of the volunteers. And
I am so grateful. And everyone, there's more
names to mention, but they were so instrumental.
Thank you for the how much time, how many time,
Liz, but thank you. No, it's true. She was there
and just supportive, very supportive. That's
so good. Yeah. Any other stories, Theo, for you?
One, I'd like to come back to you about Trinity
as well. But before that, when I was growing
up as a young Christian boy in a Christian family
in Sri Lanka, went to church. We are one of 10
siblings, so we all go to church. So I'm just
one number. I'm number seven in the 10, right?
But that is the Sunday school teacher and the
pastor, he makes sure that he address you by
name. He didn't say son of Reggie and Madara,
my parents, you know, and address you by name
and make sure that You are cared for. You are
treated as an individual. That meant a lot. Those
are the things that always stood on me. I've
been to many churches in Canada before as well,
but when you came to Trinidad, at the Welcome
Dex, they treated me like a person, not another
person in the crowd. part of the life group.
So Cathy and Alan already included us in the
life group. Right. And so that's an extension
of, you know, going from the welcome team to
part of the life group and then now become volunteers
as well. So it's just that extra touch that someone
gives you from coming back to Trinity that now
I'm making the ripple effect to other people,
right? Yeah. Able to do the same thing. Yeah.
So making waves and bringing you back to shore.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the waves, you know,
I think about the variety of waves that there
are. There can be huge waves, you know, or they
could be gentle ripples or you could be sitting
on the shore of a lake and it's just, you know,
lapping against your feet. But, you know, I love
the ripple effect idea, right? And people don't
realize, I think, how one little tiny action
or a word or a hug The impact of that is going
forward in that person's life. I've experienced
that in my own life. Just this idea of the water
too, which is like something that nourishes us,
the water of life. Yeah, but it's those tiniest
ripple that you know you can make and I mean
you don't have to do a big dramatic thing Yeah,
it's just it can be just a simple little act.
It can be remembering someone's name. You're
right So yeah important, you know people understand
that they we we know, you know who they are and
What you know a bit of their story or you know,
whatever whatever, you know that may be but it's
it's a nourishing thing. You know, the water
is life -giving, right? And that's, yeah, it's
a beautiful thing. Yeah, and I think about too,
the like, compounded ripple effects, right? Like,
cause I can think about, okay, here's one volunteer
in my life who started something and then for
whatever reason that season sort of came to an
end, but there was another volunteer and another
moment you like picked that up, right? And so
if I, yeah, another wave. So like, if I think
about, you know, my faith journey is like, defined
by volunteers, really. Like from the moment that
I was a kid in the nursery, where there were
nursery volunteers, to being a teenager and having
volunteers willing to wrestle with the hard questions
with me. And all throughout my life, it's been
volunteers who have helped bring me to this point
that I'm at. Yeah. Are there any specific volunteers
who stand out in your life, Liz? Well, yeah,
I mean, so many. Like, you know, so many, you
know, and I apologize to everyone. But I mean,
I remember like coming to Trinity and Just you
know the people who were involved in music ministry
because that was what Al and I were doing in
our previous church You know and and you know
the other volunteers who were involved they sort
of just embraced us and brought us in and the
leaders at the time just gave us opportunities
and trusted us to do stuff as well and that helps
just grow your experience and build your confidence
and you take those lessons on board so that you
can ripple them out to other people. I think
it's really... You know, I've been encouraged
by so many volunteers in so many different ways.
And it's, you know, it's had an eternal impact,
I would say. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So in
this this theme of making waves, we've talked
about, you know, the people who have made the
waves in our lives. But how do you see yourselves
making waves in other people's lives? Sathya,
you already sort of talked about this woman who
came to church one time and then you were able
to see her come back again. I think that's one
example. Do you have other examples? Mainly examples
like either meeting people for the first time
and then take them to the welcome team and make
sure they're registered or there are people who's
been here But they know about the life group.
So again, take them to make a connection with
the right people for the life group. And they
may have specific questions. And so you direct
them to appropriate people. So just being as
an extra resourceful person for them, right?
And sometimes it's embarrassing because I've
come across somebody who's been coming here for
weeks. And because I happen to ask a question,
they say, oh, yeah, I've been coming here. They
know about all what we provide. So then I was
able to take her to the welcome dinner and make
sure you talk to somebody here and there might
be things that you might be interested. So those
are the things with the scope of the church.
Right. Yeah. And also I'm just thinking about
the newcomers now, trying to connect them with
the life groups. You know, there's always one
life group. They may have more room for it so
you can include them in there. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. What about for you? I'm going. totally
on faith here. I always pray, God, make me an
instrument of your will. So when I volunteer,
it's thy will be done. And I operate from a place
of love and that love I want to shine through.
I wanna be a light. So whatever, however that
shows up, I have faith that I can be of service.
to whatever comes my way. But I find a really
great tool, being on the Welcome Test, is the
app. The app is really great in terms of people
really getting connected, because there's so
much going on and then, you know, volunteering
and from all the different events and things
of that nature. So that is a great tool that
I love to. to put out there for people, I find
that very useful. Yeah, and then you don't even
know from there what the impact is, right? Absolutely,
and they might leave and just, you know, a lot
of, and it was interesting because last, it was
last Sunday, a lot of people didn't know about
this church app. Right. And then they're, you
know, and then they opened it up and said, oh
my goodness, okay, who knows what they do when
they go home and they go through it. So I think
that's, again, in itself, very instrumental in
you know, directing people. And again, the Holy
Spirit will guide them accordingly as well. Yeah,
yeah. So just for a bit of context, we have this
church center app that then allows us to check
into church if you're joining online or to find
out about events that are coming up or life groups
that you might want to join or giving, all kinds
of things. Yes, absolutely. So yeah, pointing
them to this one tool then ripples out in all
of these ways and lets them get connected. Definitely.
I think I've signed, I don't know, maybe about
six or seven people just this past week, Sunday.
So that's good to know. Yeah, for sure. It's
a really good tool. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
What about for you, Liz, how do you see yourself
making waves? Well, I mean, I don't know. I think
that I love the idea of being wave makers, like
individually and collectively. And I don't know
where at the end of the ripple what... what really
happens, but I think for me, and all of us probably,
it's just to be faithful every day, step by step
in your day, praying and just seeking God's direction.
And I really, I try I try really hard, and this
is hard for me sometimes, to not get ahead of
God. To think maybe that my ideas are better.
But I'm working on that. But yeah, I think just
sort of continuing to be a light bearer, as Bridget
said, and to be a joyful, you know, and and to,
you know, root myself in Christ and the joy and
the peace that he brings me and trust that God
will use that in some way. Yeah. In however and
whoever. Yeah. Yeah. He's in charge. Yeah, absolutely.
Let me just add, adding another sentence. Yeah.
If I can be helpful and helping someone to be
part of the Trinity family, that's a way that
worth making. If they come back and say, this
is why I belong, this is why I want to come home,
that's the end of the day, that's a big way we're
making. And it's one person at a time. And then
they will move on. I like what you said about,
I'm just trusting that God is going to do something.
And knowing we don't always get to see the end,
but we can trust that I'm faithful in my part
and God will be faithful in... Bringing something
through through this impact. Yeah, knowing it's
the knowing that he will bring. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
for sure So you've all served in different ways
in a sort of hospitality role or a welcome role
here at Trinity Which I think is just really
important to this ministry So I'm wondering how
have you seen people? Get connected like do you
have any examples of folks who have really sort
of come through this welcome ministry? Well?
Alpha, okay. Yeah alpha is You have to do alpha
It's all questions there's they're all welcomed
I was mentioning earlier to Wally that I was
a cherry picker in the Bible You know, and I
had so many questions and those questions I think
were in the way of me moving forward with my
faith. So I think Alpha, Alpha is incredible.
Oh my goodness, yes. Yeah. And it is a space
of... of welcome, both for those questions, of
welcome for sharing meals together. Family, and
you just become friends because you're going
through this together, you know? And I'm in their
life group now, and you know, I'm on a text basis
with the people that I was in alpha with, and
we go for coffees, and it's community. It just,
it flows, like the water, it just flows. Yeah,
yeah, for sure. Yeah. And the other stories or
thoughts on how, you know, hospitality and welcome
is such an important part of what we're doing
here and your volunteer ministry. I mean, I guess
it goes back to this thing that I said earlier
about, you know, the newcomers who come in often
will say, I can't come into this building without
being welcomed. Right. And it is that sense of
warmth that creates something really special
and that is not possible, I think, without volunteers,
without people to really stand in the gap and
do that work. And I would add that, you know,
for newcomers especially, I mean, when they walk
in the door, we don't know their stories. We
don't know where they're coming from, what they're
dealing with or anything. And so it's really
important to have an open attitude and an open
mind and just like... wherever you're at, whatever
you're going through, you are welcome here, you
know, and let's walk together as, you know, we
explore different things. That's, I don't know,
that's like, that hospitality, you can sort of
define it as, you know, welcoming people, you
know, who are coming in and loving and caring
for them until they feel like they're in a family.
It's from the outside to the inside. And that's
key. I mean, I could frame everything we do as
an act of hospitality in one way or the other.
And just following the example of Jesus in so
many ways. Do you find sometimes that, I know
from my experience coming here, you feel, felt
like I was broken or not worthy or not good enough.
the welcoming here was there was just so much
love and so much caring and it was such a safe
place where there was no judgment and that's
that's what I feel here yeah that's great that's
good yeah yeah that's what I feel yeah I can
say that that's huge for sure yeah yeah and I
too I think back to what What you said earlier,
Theo, that being on a volunteer team feels like
a family within a family sometimes, right? And
that's another element of hospitality. It's not
just the hospitality that our volunteers extend
to our newcomers. It's the hospitality of volunteers
extending to one another. Of each other, yeah.
The other thing about the newcomers, right? Anybody
coming through the doors or even somebody who
hasn't been to charity coming back again. They're
coming back because in their search of either
a new community, a church, or in hope, or in
search of God, right? Either way, we are the
ones to say, look, you can get it here through
fellowship, right? Come and worship with us,
you can get it here. So that's why it's important.
So if you think about it, why are they coming?
Remember that. They're in search of one of those
things, or maybe all of them. Yeah, yeah, so
if you remember that all the time they reach
out to them look you can right You may not get
all the answers, but you certainly get peace
and eternal Eternal spirit will to help you there,
right? So yeah. Yeah, so that's something to
remember So that's what I always believe, you
know, if I was a newcomer, I want to be approached,
right? Yeah Yeah, for sure and I think too about
In my own experiences of volunteering sometimes
as volunteers. We are searching for those things
as well We're searching for community. We're
searching for hope. And so, one of the things
that people will sometimes say is, well, like,
oh, I could never do X, Y, Z thing, right? Because,
I don't know, I'm not good at that, or I'm not
an extroverted person. I am not an extroverted
person. Believe it or not, I go home very exhausted
at the end of Sundays. Right? Or like, I don't
have it figured out. So how could I possibly
lead an alpha or a life group or any of these
other things? It's like, no, this is actually
just a space like figure it out together. Right.
And and together we get to experience hope and
peace and community. We all have gifts and we
all have gifts. We all have gifts. It's true.
We don't. even know what they are sometimes.
We have an opportunity. I remember being asked
to run the slides one Sunday because the person
who was doing them was going on vacation and
I'm like, what? Because I'm not a techy person
at all. As I said earlier, I was terrified messing
something up and there were so many things to
do. with practice over time and a lot of grace
when I made mistakes too, I want to say, right?
You know, I grew in that skill and, you know,
and I, it's hard to believe that I managed to
do that, you know, on the occasional Sunday.
But it's, yeah. It's your gift. Yeah. Once I
frame it as a hospitality thing, I feel better
about it. So I've been new at this obviously
two years is not long, but I talked to some volunteers
who are here before. They talk about people who
came for the first time. Now they're so deeply
involved in the church. Yeah, absolutely. That's
a huge blessing, right? So I think that's what
we should be hoping for God will guide them.
But we have to make that first impression. Yeah,
for sure. And we have to make space for others
to grow into their gifts and opportunities. Because
some people, like most of us probably, we come
into a church and begin exploring faith. We have
no idea. Yeah, you know, we don't really understand
yet about spiritual gifts and, you know, all
of this sort of stuff. And, you know, a place
like Trinity is a place to explore that, but,
you know, also have opportunities to explore.
And, you know, if you sort of try one thing and
it's like, I don't like that that much. And,
you know, you can try something else. And there's
no judgment. Yeah. Yeah. And with Trinity, there's
so many positions so much in terms of volunteering
like changing someone's way you could be making
coffee and you could have gone through something
for example and then that person who's in the
kitchen they're having a day and then you could
share like it just flows it all comes together
so I just think there's so many opportunities
here at Trinity that just make this come together
make Trinity come together yeah yeah yeah for
sure For sure, yeah. So if there's some folks
who are listening and they're maybe thinking
about volunteering, but they're not quite sure,
what would you say to them? What piece of advice
you might give? Yeah. I'm going to use the tagline
from Nike, and that's just do it. Because it
feels right. And God has so much in store for
you and God will lead your path and just follow
it. Follow that feeling and leave it, let it
go and let God. Definitely, so just do it. Okay,
what about you Liz, what would you say? I would
echo that, you know, just do it and go for it
and there's like, there are so many different,
you know, opportunities and and some of them
are um you know straightforward you don't have
to you know know lots of things and you know
it's sort of like entry level like so you know
you could start um you know handing out chocolate
easter eggs on at the egg hunt right it's it's
Fairly straightforward to do, unless the weather's
awful. But there's lots of different things to
try. And if you don't like something, let's find
something else. Find something else. Because
really, there are tons of opportunities. And
some of them are quite technical or require extra
training and all that style. There's just so
much. You know, every sort of facet of human
life seems to be addressed in some way through
volunteer roles at Trinity. Behind the scenes.
Yeah. Behind the scenes. Lots behind. People
have no idea of the stuff that goes on behind
the scenes. Yeah. Yeah. It's like Sunday mornings
is the tip of the iceberg. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
For sure. What would you say Theo? You know,
it's such a blessing to be a volunteer, right?
So I don't want to mess this question up, so
I wrote it down. I got to read from what I wrote
down, okay? So for future volunteers, I would
say don't underestimate what you bring. Your
presence, your willingness to serve can truly
make a difference. Just try it. Like you say,
just do it, just try it. You don't need to have
all the answers or be a certain type of person,
like extra virtual entity. You can be any type
of person. You just need a willing heart. God
can use whatever you bring. Your smile, your
story, your time. One thing is a sacred work.
It's God's love in action. Often, in giving yourself,
you'll discover deeper purpose, connection and
joy than you ever expected. More often than not,
you'll find what you get as much or more out
of what you then you gave. In another example,
Liz talked about how she's a tech expert now.
I didn't say that. Almost. But I'm a little more
comfortable. My hands don't get this way. I know
you didn't say that. I mean, she went in with
apprehension, but she's now good at it, right?
So sometimes we have the talents we don't know.
and give it a try. Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Yeah, I guess the only other thing I would sort
of add to that is sort of, like you said, there
are lots of different roles available. So, you
know, we've talked about, you know, being on
the welcome team, serving at alpha or community
events, being an usher on Sunday morning, greeting
people at the door. Being on the chancel guild,
which you don't have to talk to people, really.
I mean, not at all. Not at all except your partner.
Yeah, the person you're serving with. But you
don't have to be out in front of people at all.
No, no. Right. No. Yeah. So there's on the worship
team and kids ministry. That's right. All kinds
of different things. And so if you're listening
and there is something that you are interested
in learning more about or. If you just want to
learn more about volunteering in general at Trinity,
if you're here in our building on a Sunday morning,
the welcome desk is a great place to go and learn
more about that. And if you are not here in the
building or if you're joining us online, you
can hit up our website trinitiestreetsfield .org
slash volunteer. And there's a whole list there
of all kinds of different volunteer opportunities.
So thank you very much, folks, for this really
good conversation. It's been fun. Thanks for
having me. Thank you for having us. Thank you.
And thank you for listening. And I hope that
you've been inspired by some of these stories
and encouraged to find your own ways to volunteer
either here at Trinity or elsewhere out in the
community. And we'll see you again next week.
