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! children.together
Sundays at 9:00 a.m. children.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!

Rector's Message Trinity's WinterShelter that houses 22 men for the coldest six months just closed for the season. Inasmuch as the warmer weather beckons some of the guests to sleep outside in a more wide-open space, some are too vulnerable to sleep and so their sanity as well as safety is jeopardized.
We who have comfortable beds will tend to forget at night, but some will be haunted by images of the faces we have seen night after night during the cold months. We are called to work for justice, for safety, for the basic essentials of life for all who are created in God's image. Let us not forget; Gracious God, hear our prayer for all who sleep under bridges, on park benches, in doorways or bus stations. Guard and comfort all who are afraid and hopeless; those who have been betrayed by our social safety net. Jesus, help us to see your face in the eyes of every homeless person we meet so that we may be empowered through word and deed to bring justice and peace to all who are without this basic comfort. Love God, Love your neighbor. |
