Holy Week Worship

April 10:  Palm Sunday, with special music and Palm Processional for all ages!

  1. April 14: Maundy Thursday Dinner Church at 6 pm – click here to reserve your spot before April 10th. Maundy Thursday is a celebration of the night Jesus commanded his disciples to “love one another.” Join us for a simple meal prepared by our youth/confirmation class, “unplugged” music and holy communion. A free will offering will help cover cost of the meal, and any extra gifts will help fund our student ministry’s mission week this summer. Your reservation is needed for this holy evening, so that we may plan for food.
  2. April 15: Good Friday Worship at 7 pm with choir, scripture and song, featuring the Stations of the Cross
  3. April 17: Easter Worship at 10:30, with full choir and brass ensemble!

Disciple-Making

“Thy will be done,” Disciple-making, and Daily Bread 

In last week’s Tidings, we shared appreciation for several folks who are taking important steps toward strengthening children’s ministry at Trinity. Some have formal degrees in education. Others have no training or teaching experience whatsoever. One thing all these leaders have in common is their response to Jesus’ call to ministry on a mountain in Galilee long ago.

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I’ve commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20 CEB)

As we live into the season of Lent, and pray The Lord’s Prayer each day, consider these questions for reflection:
What is my role in disciple-making of young people at Trinity?
How are my ministry choices informed by “thy will be done”?
In what ways am I fulfilling promises made at children’s baptisms?
What spiritual nourishment am I providing children from my own supply of “daily bread”?
Holy God, we praise you and we love you. Lead us. Guide us. Thy will be done. Amen.

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?

Homecoming Sunday!

Join us THIS SUNDAY, October 3, for Homecoming Sunday!
It’s been a long 18 months of the pandemic, and we look forward to welcoming you back to in person worship!  Our choir will be back with special singing masks, we’ll launch our Mission and Ministry Campaign, and share in Holy Communion (individual packets). 

After worship, we’ll head outside to the southwest lawn for lunch, games for all ages, and music (in case of inclement weather, we will serve lunch in the narthex, with the option to move outside).  We can’t wait to see you!
