Worship
We at Trinity consider our worship together to be the most important thing we do as a church. The principal type of worship at Trinity is the Holy Eucharist, also called Holy Communion. We celebrate the Eucharist every Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. We believe worship is a participatory activity and that it should be both beautiful and spiritually meaningful. Many people are involved in worship, including acolytes who lead us into worship with crosses and torches and help set the altar. Members of the congregation read our lessons from the Bible and lead the prayers of the people. Lay Eucharistic Ministers assist with communion and at the 10:15 a.m. worship service, an organist and choir lead us in singing the beautiful music of our church.
The Altar Guild keeps our communion vessels in good order, and prepares the bread and wine for worship. A flower guild provides beautiful floral arrangements for worship. The congregation has its part to play as well as they join in with the prayers, psalms and hymns of worship. FAQ
All are welcome at the altar during communion. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion and those who are not baptized are invited to receive a blessing.
Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into the Christ’s Body, the Church. Therefore, infants as well as adults are baptized in the Episcopal Church. Those who are baptized as infants are later invited (around 14 or 15 years old) to make a mature affirmation of their faith in the presence of our bishop at a rite of confirmation. Our bishop visits Trinity at least once a year.
As a liturgical church, we also have special ceremonies (liturgies) to mark the church seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost as well as certain special feast days.
