that meet at different times of the week but can follow a church-wide curriculum that will

always coordinate with what the church is doing on Sundays.

This isn’t just Sunday school – this is “Sunday life” in other times and other

places than Sunday morning. If you are interested in joining a group,

please visit:www.trinitybirmingham.com/life-groups/
