Spiritual
Nourishment: Worship 10:30am Sunday
6:00 pm Every 2nd Sunday (Taize service)
12:15pm Thursday (prayer
service)
Worship is the core of our congregational life. Sunday morning
worship at First Trinity is grounded in proclamation of God's Word and celebration
of the Eucharist. A sample order of worship
Music: We are a congregation that sings. Various
instruments accompany our singing including organ, piano, guitar, flute and keyboard.
We use traditional and new hymns.
A vocal choir provides music from spirituals to classical and contemporary. Special bell and men's choirs also rehearse and lead our offerings to God.
Liturgy: Striving for variety of musical styles, tones, and instrumentation, we learn new
liturgies from time to time and rotate seasonally between liturgical settings,
which include Marty Haugen's "Now the Feast and Celebration" and settings one and ten out of the new ELCA hymnal, Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Holy Communion: All baptized Christians are welcome to
receive the Eucharist that we celebrate weekly. Fellowship: Immediately
following the worship service we invite you to stay for coffee and refreshments
in the parlor adjacent the sanctuary. Our goal is to create a worship experience
so that one may feel a sense of awe and wonder at God's marvelous work in our
lives. We pray that all leave feeling refreshed and nourished for the coming week.
In worship we come together as the Body of Christ, in all our diversity, to proclaim
the Gospel, share the sacraments, and celebrate our life together, to the praise
and glory of God. Taizé Service
Refresh your spirit at the monthly Taizé service,now hosted by First Trinity. Join us for reflective worship followed by a potluck meal.Bring a dish to share. TheTaizé service and potluck (different food theme each month) will be held the second Sunday of each month at 6:00 pm with potluck supper to follow.
Seasonal or Upcoming:
On Trinity Sunday, May 18, during the 1:00 service, the combined choirs of First Trinity Lutheran and First Congregational churches will present J. S. Bach's Cantata 78, Jesu, der du meine Seele, together with soloists and chamber orchestra. This piece, widely considered one of Bach's masterpieces, features a profound opening chorus followed by a duet for soprano and alto and arias for tenor and bass in markedly contrasting styles, and ends with a chorale, all presenting the triumph of Christ's redemptive love over the forces of evil and despair. All are welcome!
Join us on Thursday nights for a light supper at 6 pm followed by a short prayer service.
June 24,2007 was a wonderful day for music at First Trinity! We had the Swedish folk trio Spelkamraterna perform during our worship service, followed by an afternoon a concert by our own Malinda Dix-Hunt (with Director of Music Stefan Brodd on piano) to benefit hurricane Katrina victims in Biloxi.
