In 1908, Methodist pastors from the City Mission Board appointed Miss Lillie G. Fox as the Director of Wesley Community House in Northside Fort Worth. By 1909, she had organized sewing lessons and led worship services on Sunday nights. The outreach ministered to people of many nationalities. Within a few years the faith community she nurtured was organized as La Primera Iglesia Metodista, One hundred years later, La Trinidad continues in the tradition by offering free community-based education and bilingual worship services in the Northside.
In the next few months, La Trinidad will once again offer free classes to the community: basic computer skills; English as a Second Language; mathematics; and information literacy (how to use the internet for research). If you are interested or know someone who might benefit from these classes, send an email to: trinidad_umc@yahoo.com .
