Trinity's Worship Styles and Settings

 

9:00 am Contemporary
 W
orship

 

Our contemporary service is of an informal style. The praise band leads you in several Praise songs - there is time for meditation, prayer and a message from our pastor. This service is currently held in Luther Hall but will soon move into the main sanctuary. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.
10:30 am Traditional Worship
Our traditional service uses settings from three different sources and rotates them on a three to six month cycle.  Communion is offered every Sunday unless there is a baptism.
  • With One Voice has been offered since 1995 and contains a variety of musical styles.
  • Now the Feast and Celebration composed by Marty Haugen is based on the Lutheran communion service and is widely used by many Lutheran congregations.
  •  Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) - published in 2006 by the  Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  This new hymnal replaces the LBW or green book which had been the primary worship resource since 1978.  The ELW has eleven liturgical settings to choose from, a daily lectionary, the entire Small Catechism, and many other special services.  It contains old familiar material and new innovative material and hymns. 
Holy Communion


As Jesus gathered with his disciples for the Last Supper, he spoke, "This is my body given for you . . .This is my blood, shed for you . . . eat and drink, in remembrance of me."

Holy Communion is offered at Trinity to all baptized people who believe that Christ is present in the bread and wine. 

When directed, you may come forward to the Lord's Table to receive the communion wafer and wine. The wine is distributed in small individual cups or by intinction  (dipping the wafer into the wine chalice).
 

Baptism

Baptism, whether for a child or adult, is the visible sign of being accepted as a child of God, a member of his family, forever.

For more information regarding  baptism, please contact the church office and Pastor Rob. (Phone 559-229-8581)
