Worship
It has been said if you want to know what Episcopalians believe watch how they pray. Worship is central in the life of Holy Trinity. While it takes place in many shapes and sizes, the prayer life of the parish is at the core of our identity.
Our liturgies center around the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. The Eucharist is our principal act of worship. On Sunday mornings the Holy Eucharist: Rite One is celebrated in the chapel at 8 am, while the Holy Eucharist: Rite Two is celebrated in the main church at 10:30. (See the various menu items to the left for information on other services.)
Our liturgies reflect a commitment to include all people in worship leadership. Choirs, acolytes, chalice bearers, instrumentalists, intercessors, lectors, Eucharistic visitors, oblation bearers, interpreters for the deaf, vergers, flower arrangers, altar guild workers, greeters, ushers and clergy work together to lead the people in worship.
Worship at Holy Trinity seeks to be emotionally supportive, intellectually challenging and spiritually enriching. Our intent is to encourage one another in the faith and communicate clearly that God is love. We believe that the grace of God creates, sustains and redeems the world. Discovering, celebrating and sharing the love of God is what we believe we are sent forth to do. In this sense worship is very much connected with our daily lives.

What parishioners are saying about Worship @ The Welcome Table:
"The All Saints’ Day Worship at the Welcome Table service was an awesome experience, and a perfect way to christen our newly renovated Tisdale Hall. I know the planning team was going for a multi-sensory worship experience - well, they nailed it! I continue to think about all the different layers of meaning that we worshippers were in the middle of. Wow!"
- Julia Gable

Worship at the Welcome Table always includes Eucharist and is multi-sensory and contemplative, compelling and never boring. We promise.
