Lent @ Trinity

Ash Wednesday Worship
March 2 at Noon (in person) and 7 pm (online and in person)
½ hour worship with prayer, song, movement and imposition of ashes – family friendly (if you can’t join us in person, please plan to zoom into the evening worship!)

The Journey of Lent is all about moving towards new life at Easter. Sometimes, we need to give something up (release) in our lives, in order to embrace  the abundant life God wants for us and for our world. Sometimes, we need to take something on something new – an intention of some kind. Each week in the eblast, look for opportunities to give to others, ways to be intentional about giving something up or taking something on, and an invitation to discover the power of prayer and action through our all church focus on The Lord’s Prayer. It’s a prayer we say every Sunday, and some of us every day.  How can we tap into its  power to change the way we pray, and the way we follow Jesus?

Save the dates!  Holy Week Worship

  1. Maundy Thursday Dinner Church at 6 pm – info coming on how to reserve your spot, for this simple catered meal and worship experience for all ages!
  2. Good Friday Worship with choir, scripture and song, featuring the Stations of the Cross
  3. Easter Worship at 10:30, with full choir and brass ensemble!

We Surpassed Our Goal!

As we give thanks for the generosity for our Fall Campaign, we express our gratitude not only for the pledges, but for the gifts we have already received. Out of the almost $609,000 (!!!) pledged for the Mission and Ministry portion of the campaign, we have already received gifts totaling over $206,000.  This cash flow has allowed us to move forward with the first phase of the HVAC project, which will be fully complete in the late Spring. Thank you for your generosity, and prayerful investment in Trinity’s future…with HOPE!

Ministry Spotlights Shine in 2022

Congregational Care Team

We are excited to welcome Tom Weaver as our guest presenter in Sunday school on February 6th following the Children’s Message in worship. Tom has served in many leadership roles including music, children, and youth ministries. He will shine a spotlight on Trinity’s Congregational Care ministry. Children will have an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about what it means to belong to a church community.

Ministry Spotlight Goals

  • Make connections between Bible stories about Jesus’ ministry and Trinity’s ministries in the world today.
  • Establish and nurture relationships between children and unrelated adults in the Trinity community.
  • Encourage young people to wonder how they might be called to ministry and discipleship.
  • Further strengthen and develop our church ministries with youth and children.
