Welcome to Trinity: ALL are welcome!

For anyone looking to attend Trinity Parish for the first time, it's important to know that you'll be warmly welcomed, regardless of your religious background or experience with church. Whether you're new to church or you've been attending for years, Trinity is a place where everyone is welcome. No matter what service you choose to attend, we hope you'll find a warm and welcoming community at Trinity Parish. We look forward to worshiping with you!

Worship

Whether church attendance is a new venture for you, you’re a “cradle Episcopalian,” or   somewhere in between, going to a new place can bring some questions. Here are some details that may help you know what to expect when you attend a service at Trinity.

We offer two services on Sunday morning that use similar formats of praise, prayer, fellowship and Holy Communion. The 7:30 service uses more formal or traditional language, while the 10 service is less formal, has more musical involvement, and a nursery is available.

Through the Red Doors

As you enter through the famous red doors of Franklin Street, greeters and ushers will be on hand to welcome you and give you a bulletin with info on the service. If you like, please tell them you’re new and could use some guidance – they’ll be glad to help!

During Worship

Worship at Trinity involves congregational participation throughout the service: singing, responding, greeting one another (called “Sharing the Peace”), praying and celebrating Holy Communion (or the Eucharist).

Following the guidance of the Bulletin and/or the Book of Common Prayer will help you know what to do and when to do it. Throughout the service, we will sit, stand and kneel to embody the physical act of worship. Sometimes you have the option of standing or kneeling, and preferences vary among individual Trinity parishioners. If you’re not sure which to do, just follow the folks next to you!
