Health Ministry at Trinity

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's spirit lives in you?
God's temple is sacred and you are that temple.

I Corinthians 3:16-17


Health Ministry emphasizes the relationship between faith and health.

Prayer shawls are very much needed. Please go to the outreach page for pattern ideas.
