Midweek Connect & Lent Worship Service
Join us each Wednesday for Midweek Connect, beginning with dinner at 5:00 p.m. followed by programming for kids, students, and adults, with nursery available for children ages 3 weeks through VPK.
During Lent, after dinner we gather for a Lenten worship service at 6:15 p.m. featuring music, a short message, prayer, reflection, and a practical step to carry into your week. Midweek Connect is a meaningful way to pause midweek, share a meal, and grow in faith together.
There will not be a meal on March 18, but there will be a worship service. We will not have a meal or worship on April 1.

9:45 & 11:00 a.m.
Holy Week begins here. Palm Sunday remembers the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem to the cheers of the crowd—palm branches waving and voices crying “Hosanna.” In this service we step into the tension of celebration and the journey toward the cross, preparing our hearts for the powerful story that unfolds throughout Holy Week and Easter.

April 2
6:00 p.m. • Worship Service
Memorial Fellowship Hall
Maundy Thursday invites us to remember the night Jesus gathered with his disciples for the Last Supper, breaking bread and sharing the cup as he gave the command to love one another.
This year, we will experience that moment in a meaningful way as we gather for a potluck dinner and Communion service in our Memorial Fellowship Hall. Around the table we will share a meal together before reflecting on Christ instituting Holy Communion and participating in the breaking of bread and the cup.
Sharing a meal reminds us that faith is lived in community. This evening offers space to slow down, remember Christ’s sacrifice, and prepare our hearts for the journey to the cross and the hope of Easter.

April 3
6:00 p.m. • Good Friday Worship
On Good Friday we gather for a Tenebrae service, a solemn and reflective worship experience that walks through the final moments of Jesus’ life. As Scripture is read and candles are slowly extinguished, the sanctuary grows darker, reminding us of the weight of the cross and the sacrifice made for the world.
This quiet, contemplative service prepares our hearts to fully experience the hope and joy of Easter morning.

LENT SERMON SERIES
"Who You Say I Am?"
This Lenten season, we explore a question that echoes through the Gospel of John and into our own lives: Who You Say I Am? Step by step, we will journey through the final chapters of Jesus’ ministry, encountering Him not only in His words but in His actions, His suffering, and His victory.
Each week, we will see Jesus revealed as:
Power – calling Lazarus from the grave
Humble – washing His disciples’ feet
Rejected – standing silent before accusation
Condemned – though innocent
King – crowned with thorns
Thirsty – entering fully into human suffering
The Lamb – giving Himself for the world
Resurrection – calling us into new life on Easter morning
This series invites us to slow down and reflect on who Jesus truly is—and to ask how His life, sacrifice, and victory shape who we are. Lent is not simply a countdown to Easter; it is a season of repentance, reflection, and renewal.
As we continue this journey, may we answer the question that changes everything: Who do you say He is?

About Worship
Let's Gather Together in Praise!
Traditional Worship
Traditional worship at Trinity keeps us in touch with the deepest roots of the Christian faith. We appreciate the traditional elements of worship and have pews, pulpits, choir lofts, robes for pastors and choirs, daylight streaming through the stained glass, the deep resonant sound of a pipe organ, and the classical piano. Voices led by the Chancel Choir lift high the praises of God. It has everything you'd expect in traditional worship.
Every Sunday is a structured combination of the use of traditional prayers and liturgy. It allows you to put yourself in a place where we can hear God's voice through song, traditional prayer, scripture reading, and sermon.
Contemporary Worship
Entering the Memorial Fellowship Hall you are greeted by the sound of musicians with guitars, a keyboard, and a drum set perform a microphone sound check. When the electronic countdown board reaches zero, the worship band launches into a set heartfelt song praising God. Each song meant to help you focus on your personal devotional experience and praise before the message.
Contemporary worship provides a mix of contemporary and traditional elements. If you love church traditions and a bit more pep in your music, contemporary is the perfect place for you.
