Prison Ministry
Pocatello Women's Correctional Center Ministry (PWCC Ministry)
Every Sunday a team from Trinity goes to the PWCC to offer worship and study opportunities. Holy Eucharist is offered on a monthly basis. This is an opportunity to reach out to the women who are incarcerated at the prison and to help them build a foundation for a better life after their release. Participants will need to apply and pass a background check.
Shawl Ministry
The Trinity Episcopal Church Prayer Shawl Ministry was started in March of 2007. Prayer shawls and lap blankets are prayerfully knitted or crocheted to comfort those in need or to celebrate joyful events. Meetings are held approximately once a month at a knitter's home or at the parish hall; most of the knitting is done by members at their homes and on their own schedule. The shawls are blessed during Sunday worship before going to their recipient.
Our Gathering Place
Sixteen years ago (on March 1, 1997), the priests and people of Trinity saw a need. There were many students who left Pocatello High School and other secondary schools at the end of the school day who had no place to hang out. Many of them were hungry. Our Gathering Place came out of this need. At the close of each school day Trinity welcomes high school students to the parish hall. A staff of three serve healthy snacks and beverages. Pool, air hockey, ping pong and foosball tables are available as well as a basketball court and many other activities. The Idaho Food Bank supports OGP. We also received funding from the United Way. We happily accept donations! OGP serves 75 to 100 students every school day.
