Our Lenten theme, Full to the Brim, is an invitation—into a radically different Lent, into a full life. It’s an invitation to be authentically who you are, to counter scarcity and injustice at every turn, to pour out even more grace wherever it is needed. When we allow ourselves to be filled to the brim with God’s lavish love, that love spills over, it reaches beyond ourselves; like water, it rushes and flows, touching everything in its path.

Adult Sunday School
For the season of Lent, Christian Formation is introducing an art-filled adult education series using our Lenten theme, Full to the Brim, to study the Bible. Join us on Sundays at 9:45 am in the Heritage Room (in person or over Zoom) as we dive into poetry, art, and stories.
Justice Drive
Join us for our first Justice Drive of Charlotte, NC (yes, an actual drive through the city of Charlotte)! We have designed a roadmap with certain destinations that focus on issues around justice in our community. You are invited to drive to those locations and use the handout we provide to learn more about the history and divisions in Charlotte.
You’re invited to do this drive on your own or to join us for a Congregational Drive following worship on Sunday, March 13th or April 3rd. Lunch will be provided following worship. For more information on how to participate, click HERE. Please sign up for the date that works best for you HERE.
Art Gallery
Art will be at the center of our Lenten conversation this season. Each week, we will study and refer to a piece of artwork as we interpret Scripture and God’s hand in our world. Trinity Presbyterian Church will host an art gallery in the cloister area with enlarged images of the artwork we plan to use. Please stop by the church anytime between 9 am – 5 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday or after worship on Sunday to enjoy the art from this year’s Sanctified Art’s theme, Full to the Brim.
