A New Beginning for Worship
[Trinity]
Sun, Jan 9 2011 8:52 AM CST

Trinity Presbyterian Church rightly prides itself on being welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all. One group that we have a special charge to welcome into the life of the church is children and youth.

Starting on January 16, the opening of worship will be modified in order to more fully engage and involve the entire congregation in worship. This is not a "dumbing down" or simplification of worship but is a time in which we will all experience God's presence and all will be able to participate.

We will try this new opening through the Easter season and assess its strengths and needs at that time. There will be some new ways for children to be involved in our worship so please be watching for that.

A Call For Liturgists
[Trinity]
Tue, Sep 14 2010 6:27 PM CDT

Each Sunday morning a Trinity member takes part in our worship service by serving as a liturgist. This worship leadership role in reading Scripture, congregational prayers and liturgy helps us all leave the world aside for a while, and concentrate on God and life's deepest meanings. Have you every considered being a Trinity liturgist? There are currently 4 openings on our list of liturgists, and you are welcome to talk to Dan or Julie at any time about this fulfilling role in the life of the Church.
