Bible studies allow for parishioners to come together for faith sharing, prayer, and fellowship. They provide a casual and welcoming atmosphere to deepen faith, build relationships, and learn how we are all called to serve and be disciples of Christ. Whether you are just learning what this means or you have been doing this for a long time, small groups provide a space for you to grow.

If interested in joining one of our bible studies at Holy Trinity, please contact Terri Schiller, Director of Pastoral Studies, at tschiller@charter.net, or call the parish office at (262) 675-2298.

Psalms of the Morning

Threshold Bible Study

Author: Stephen J. Binz

The people of ancient Israel taught the world to “awake the dawn” with songs of praise. Jesus himself rose early to begin his days with these morning prayers. While the psalms are two to three thousand years old, they are amazingly contemporary. They have been prayed by the kings and priests of Israel, the apostles of the church, and the whole community of God’s people in the temple, synagogue, monastery, cathedral, chapel, and home. We too may seize the day by beginning with these inspired psalms.
