Trinity Episcopal Church welcomes you!
When you join us for worship, you will be greeted and given a bulletin that will help guide you through the order of the service. Episcopal services are based on The Book of Common Prayer which will be the red book in your pew.
During worship, you will be able to follow along from the bulletin with the corresponding page numbers in The Book of Common Prayer. There will be several opportunities where you can enjoy or join in singing hymns. Music and words for the hymns are found in the blue hymnal in the pew.
Episcopal worship is centered around Communion, also known as The Holy Eucharist. All are invited to come forward and receive the bread and wine during communion, or if you would prefer you can come forward to receive a blessing by the priest or simply remain seated.
Services start at 10:00am on Sundays. Service of Holy Eucharist typically lasts about an hour. Service of Morning Prayer is usually half an hour.
After service, please join us for refreshments and fellowship downstairs in Morrill Hall. A chairlift is available if needed.
If you would like more information about the Episcopal Church or how to join or get involved please see a church member or send an email to secretary@trinityware.org.
Message from the Senior Warden

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
Do you ever question your faith? Like, are you living into it enough or sharing it. Life can get busy and messy and there can be times when I am not sure I'm living my faith right. In those times I look around me for a little inspiration and perspective. That's how I found myself picking up a copy of Matthew McConaughey's book Poems & Prayers, after seeing him give an interview on its release. (This might have been another instance of being where God put me to hear something.) The book is divided into chapters on love, one he calls Sunshine Intentions & All-Day Appreciations. It is refreshing to see that folks who are in the 'big time' are normal just like us. He said he put this collection together (these are pieces he had written in his journals over the years and a few that are new for the book) because he was feeling a little cynical and looking to believe right.
This spoke to me: Today may I be available to see myself as God sees me, and faithful enough to believe it. That's it, just that one line in the chapter Faith & Doubt. We are hardest on ourselves, our own worst critics. Maybe only I feel like I am not living my faith right. Maybe to God, seeing me try and knowing the intention in my heart, He gets it. All I can do is have faith, keep trying, or as Matthew McConaughey says "Just Keep Livin' "
God's Peace be with you-
Suzanne
