Community

We meet once every other month for an informal Sunday social dinner. We try to include a variety of restaurants, most of which are locally owned and opperated. Coming out for dinner with Methodiners is a great way for us to connect with one another, relax and build community. Note: Due to Covid we are not currently meeting as Methodiners!
Ice Cream, Sunday, Church, Food, Community, Events
Once a month, throughout the summer, we host an ice cream social after church. The reason? Do we need one? 
Fall Kick off, BBQ
Church Barbecue
Our church barbecue at the parsonage is a fun way for us to transition into our fall schedule. We enjoy each other's company, celebrate the ministry successes we've had, and eat good food. We usually serve hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, desserts, and many bring dishes to share. 

Summer Festival, Trenton,
In the last week in June, the city of Trenton hosts a summer festival down W. Jefferson Ave.
Every year our church offers a place to take shelter from the heat, grab some reasonably priced drinks and food at our downstairs 'cafe',  buy a book or puzzle, and/or get some free cotton candy for the children!
