MINISTRIES

Worship

Worship is the primary task of all Christians.  In his book, The Purpose Driven Life, Pastor Rick Warren tells us that we were created for God's pleasure and that we bring pleasure to God through worship.  Worship at Holy Trinity is participatory in nature and is based on the Book of Common Prayer. Each worship service includes scripture readings, a sermon, prayers, and Holy Communion. Each week, we offer at least three similar but slightly distinct worship services:​​

​Sunday Mornings:

8:00 a.m. - Holy Eucharist Rite 1 (traditional language without music)

 

10:30 a.m. - Holy Eucharist Rite 2 (contemporary language with music)

 

Wednesdays

11:30 a.m. - Healing Service (laying of hands and anointing with oil for the sick)

 

Saturday Evenings (October - May)

4:15 p.m. - Holy Eucharist Rite 2 (contemporary language without music)​

 

The 10:30 a.m. and the Healing services are livestreamed on Facebook Live.

Choir

The Choir is a group of adults who love to sing all kinds of music. The choir leads the congregation in singing hymns, and it regularly offers special music (especially choral anthems). Under the direction of a choir director, they meet for rehearsals every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm, September through Trinity Sunday. The choir is always open to new members.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild's duties consist of setting up for regular worship and special services - weddings, confirmations, baptisms, and funerals, etc. They also care for the silver, brass, linens, altar hangings, and vestments. There are three teams of 5- 6 members each that rotate every two weeks. While on duty, teams meet to clean and set up for Sunday services. On Sundays, at least one member of the team is present at each service to clean up afterwards and set up for the next service as appropriate. The Guild is the priest’s partner in helping to ensure the worship life of the parish runs smoothly. This is a ministry of love undertaken in the name of Christ.

Outreach

Holy Trinity’s various Outreach ministries are intended to provide opportunities for us to live out the gospel mandate of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, and other human needs in the name of Christ. (Matthew 25:31-46) . We strive to respond to a variety of needs, directly or indirectly, locally, nationally, and internationally. Beyond our primary outreach to our community through our school, we are actively engaged in our community and beyond in many other ways. Our basic approach to Outreach ministry is through partnerships with other organizations with shared missions. Through the rector’s Discretionary Fund, we can respond to a variety of needs such as lodging, medical care, rent, utilities, etc. Each Easter and Christmas, the Outreach team assesses and recommends the beneficiary of our Easter or Christmas offering as our way of sharing the good news of God’s Love in Christ Jesus. If you wish to be part of the Outreach Team, please feel free to contact Annette or Fr. Samuel.

Men's Group

The Men’s Ministry at Holy Trinity is intended to provide the men of Holy Trinity and their friends an opportunity to gather in Christian fellowship and service to our church and community. Current activities include the monthly Hot Breakfast on the 4th Sunday of every month. In service to our community, the men of our parish also play a major role in our outreach ministries especially our partnership with the Salvation Army where they volunteer to prepare and serve breakfast, and participate in the Christmas Bell Ringing Campaign. The group is open to all the men of our parish and their friends.

Buildings & Grounds

Our historic buildings and grounds require ongoing tending to preserve their beauty and functionality. A group of members of the congregation have taken on the task of repairing, maintaining, and improving our facilities. This is accomplished through the individual skills and talents of each team member, other members of the congregation, or by the hiring of appropriate contractors.
