In This Issue: Celebrating 70 Years of Community, Faith, and Service at Trinity Woods
A Community Rooted in Care at Trinity Woods
The June 2026 edition of The Trail Mix is a special one as Trinity Woods celebrates an extraordinary milestone—70 years of serving older adults in Tulsa with compassion, faith, and purpose. Since opening its doors in 1956, Trinity Woods has grown from a small retirement community into a vibrant, resident-centered campus dedicated to helping seniors thrive. The 70th Anniversary Brunch on June 25 will bring together residents, families, team members, supporters, and community leaders to honor the people and partnerships that have shaped this remarkable journey.
The issue also includes a thoughtful reflection from Chaplain Weldon Tisdale, who explores the biblical significance of the number seventy. Drawing on stories from Scripture, he connects Trinity Woods’ seven decades of ministry to themes of faithfulness, community, purpose, and God’s enduring presence through every season.
Looking ahead, residents can enjoy a full calendar of enriching events, including:
- A Tulsa Symphony Young at Heart Wind Quintet performance celebrating music and lifelong learning.
- A Route 66 Centennial book discussion about The Green Book and its historical impact.
- The annual Trinity Woods Men’s Gathering featuring Olympic bobsled athlete and coach Dave Owens.
- The beloved Trinity Woods Variety Show, themed This Land Is Your Land, showcasing the talents of residents and staff.
