Visitation to Our Shut Ins
We want our members that are no longer able to attend in person to know that they are still a part of our Trinity family. To let them know how much they are loved, a group of members make sure that each of the shut ins get at least one visit a month. Everyone gets so much out of these visits. Special little gifts are given at the holidays.
