ABOUT OUR WORSHIP SERVICES

Worship Services
Trinity offers a variety of styles of worship experiences, traditional, contemporary, and mixed. Over the summer months, both Sunday services are “traditional” as our congregation acquaints itself with a new worship resource: Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) – the “red book” in our pews.

Liturgy
Trinity’s worship experiences, whatever style, generally follow an ancient pattern, a pattern which is now common to all “liturgical” churches. For example, the Scripture readings are taken from the Revised Common Lectionary which means one would hear these same texts read in Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Methodist, and COCU churches on that day. This means, too, that we observe church seasons and festival days celebrating events in the life of Jesus or the Church.

Holy Communion
This event, celebrating Christ’s promised presence with us in bread and wine for “forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation” is normally on the first and third Sundays of the month, all festival days, and each Sunday during the Easter season. All the baptized who hunger and thirst for God’s love and forgiveness are welcome to receive the bread and wine of Holy Communion among us.

Educational Opportunities
Trinity offers many, many opportunities from pre-school through Adulthood for learning and growth in one’s faith. These include: Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Confirmation (8th and 9th grade), Men’s Bible Studies, Women’s Bible studies, Teen Groups, Adult Forums, Topical courses, and the like.

TV Broadcast
Trinity’s 8:00am worship service is re-broadcast over local access (St. Peter, Channel 7) at 9:30am on Sundays and on Monday evenings at 6:00pm.

Fellowship
Typically “Lutheran”, fellowship or “just being together” is nearly a Third Sacrament for Trinity folks. We enjoy weekly coffee hour at 9:00am on Sundays, potlucks, and a weekly Wednesday evening Fellowship Supper from 5:30 to 6:30pm.
