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.
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
This time of year reminds us of God's incredible love, demonstrated in the greatest gift ever given: the birth of His Son, the true Light of the World. No matter what this past year has held, the message of Christmas remains a steadying reminder: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5). In a world that often feels a little too busy and somewhat scattered, we have reason to rejoice in God our Savior.
My heart is filled with gratitude for the extraordinary gift we share in being part of this church family. The many ways that this small-in-number but large-in-spirit congregation reaches out to our community to share the love of God and be examples of Jesus's teaching is inspiring. They know us as followers of Jesus because we share that love.
My prayer for us all this Christmas season is found in Romans 15:13: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit".
