Joyful and uplifting, worship at
Trinity embraces the breadth of the Anglican tradition, as expressed
in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Our regular worship is centered
in the celebration of Holy Eucharist, known by Christians of other
denominations
as Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, or Mass.
Sunday worship
services are at 8 AM and 10:30 AM. Both services are celebrations
of the Holy Eucharist. The 8 AM service is a simple, quiet
service which includes a sermon and the more traditional language
of the Prayer Book. The 10:30 AM service includes the parish choir,
hymns,
and more contemporary language. Nursery care is available for the
10:30 AM service year round. On Wednesdays we celebrate a simple
service
of Holy Eucharist at 12:15PM.
During certain liturgical seasons and on special Holy Days there are
additional services offered. Offerings of Evening Prayer, Morning Prayer,
Healing Services and Taize Services are celebrated at different times
during the year.
Trinity Episcopal Church welcomes all Baptized Christians
to receive Holy Communion. Baptised children of any age are welcome
at the Communion rail to receive Communion or a blessing at the discretion
of their parents. Congregational
participation is a hallmark of worship in the Episcopal Church. The
service bulletin, available from an usher at the entrance of the church,
guides you through the service, utilizing the Book of Common Prayer
and the hymnal, which are available in every pew.
Episcopal worship is not a spectator sport! The congregation is active
in the Episcopal Church, sharing in the readings, the spoken prayers
and the music. Standing, sitting and kneeling are all a part of our
worship. Generally we stand to sing, for the Affirmation of Faith and
for the reading of the Gospel Lesson. Some people stand at the Communion
Rail and for prayer, though most people kneel for both. The members
of our church are welcoming and friendly. If you have any questions
the person sitting near you should be happy to give you help. Although
there are many life long Episcopalians in our parish, there are also
many who are relatively new to the Episcopal Church. We are all learning
as we go on our journey of faith. No one should ever feel awkward about
asking a question or needing a little help along the way.
Nursery
Safe and welcoming nursery care is available for
children age five and under on Sunday mornings during Christian Education
and the 10:30 service. We have separate nurseries for infants and
toddlers, each staffed by a paid caregiver and a parish volunteer.
Nursery care is also available during other parish events. |
