This musical journey explores Holy Week through the lens of the Beatitudes. The lyrics are in the present tense, as though the events of Holy Week are happening in real time. Through this experience, all are invited to see the Beatitudes with a new understanding: Christ is not only the One who blesses, but by becoming one of us, is Himself one of the blessed.
Join us for "Blessed:
A Holy Week Journey Through the Beatitudes" by Joel Raney performed by our amazing Chancel Choir and musical accompanists.

This Lent, join us for our sermon series, “Everything In Between.” We will explore stories from the Gospel of Luke and see how Jesus challenged social norms through his love and acceptance. Each week, we will look at familiar stories like the Good Samaritan and Zacchaeus, revealing their importance in our lives today.
We will discuss themes like faith and actions, grief and hope, and more, encouraging you to appreciate the complexities of your spiritual journey.
Come and find out where God meets us in life's uncertainties. Celebrate a faith that allows for growth and change. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your understanding and strengthen your connection to your faith!

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.
