Worship ServicesSundays at 10:30 a.m.
Traditional Episcopal worship has lots of music, scripture, prayer and reflection. We draw liturgy and music from around the globe. During the summer months, when life is less structured, the questions and wiggles of little ones bring life to the mix in the activities corner during service. ALL are welcome! 
worship.together Sundays at 9:00 a.m. (September - June) worship.together is a brief, participatory service for families with young children. Specifically designed with 0-5 year-olds in mind, this half-hour service helps engage children in story, song and prayer while helping to develop their sense of God. The service includes singing, a gospel story, liturgy, interactive prayers, and communion. Children (and parents/caregivers!) are invited to sit on the floor to experience the service firsthand, and participate in many aspects of the service by carrying the processional cross, assisting with serving communion, and offering their own prayers of intercession. Happy chatter and joyful wiggles are most welcome! For more information, please contact Donna Maree at rector@tmcphila.org http://www.tmcphila.org/ |

Rector's BlogDonna returns on Sunday, September 25.
Wild Geese You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things. . Mary Oliver From the Rector's warden, David Castro-Diephouse Donna is away on vacation. During her absence, Rev. Lynn will be available to provide pastoral care. The church office will be open regular hours. Jim and Joe will lead Morning Prayer on Wednesdays at 9 AM and Evening Prayer on Thursdays at 5:30 PM. Donna will be back September 25th for Sundae Sunday. All are welcome on the journey. Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation in the church and in Christ Jesus forever. - BCP, the Daily Office |
Welcome From Rev. Donna Maree
Whatever draws you to the corner of 22nd and Spruce you will find a place where you can encounter God. Whether you bring your child to Trinity Play Group, sit in the worship hall for respite or prayer, or simply stop in to inquire about the volunteer opportunities.
If you were brought up in a church tradition and just moved into the neighborhood … welcome. If you are not quite sure what you believe but think God has been calling your heart … welcome. If the journey has been difficult lately, we are here for refreshment or solace. If you are looking for a place to stop in to give thanks, Trinity is a sacred space in the middle of a bustling neighborhood.
We do not forget that Jesus calls us all to be servants to one another. Members of Trinity work side by side with neighbors in a unique arrangement called Trinity at 22nd. Inside the historic buildings you will find a flexible space that serves many purposes from worship to fundraising, from concerts to Thanksgiving meals, from nursery school to a homeless shelter.
Services on Sunday engage all the senses: candles wafting care-laden prayers, a variety of musical genres, all ages participating in an awesome setting of warm wood, impasto-winged angels and stained glass in a bright, open space. We gather in a circle around the common Table of one Bread and Cup as we come for solace and strength, for pardon and renewal.
Warm handshakes, wide smiles, visitor-detailed worship guides, and open hearts ready to encounter and worship God draw our spirits into community and fellowship. Our façade may be imposing but our welcome will knock your socks off!
As the spiritual center of Trinity at 22, Trinity Memorial has served as a house of worship and community resource for more than 125 years. With a progressive theology, our spirituality is evident as we grow and serve God and the community.
Visit us any time. Shalom+
