Service Times

From June 17 through August 31, there is a single service at 10am on Sunday mornings. Beginning with Rally Day on September 7, there will be two services (at 9 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.) until at least mid-November -- at the November Congregational meeting, we will decide whether to continue this new schedule. A staffed nursery is provided during both services. Worship is at the heart of our life together at Holy Trinity, when we gather for prayer, praise, and songs to God.

Worship Ministries
Worship leadership is shared by all the people of Holy Trinity. Opportunities for involvement in our worship leadership include Acolyting, Greeting, Lectoring (reading the lessons), Ushering, Altar Guilding (behind the scenes preparation), lay assistant ministering and assisting with the distribution of Communion. Also, we have a variety of music programs (see below) that help enrich our worship experience. All are welcome to assist in our services!

Acolytes assist the Pastors at worship services by helping with the processionals, lighting and extinguishing candles, and receiving the offering from the ushers. Although service as an acolyte is open to all, the sixth to eighth graders most often fill these roles. Contact is Pastor Jane.

Altar Guild Members serve one month a year. Their duties include preparing the altar for worship each week and for special occasions. Contact is Marie Rothenberg.

Assisting Ministers are trained volunteers assist the ministers with worship. Contact is Anne Simmons.

Communion Assistants assist the pastors in the distribution of the bread and wine. Contact is Gloria Hviding.

All ages are welcome to join by signing on the appropriate clipboard in the narthex. Contact for the 8:30 AM service is Roger Barnard or Sue Hoeft. Contact for the 11:00 AM service is Wally or Terry Tienken.

Ushers are active at all 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Sunday services and support extra services for Lent, Easter, Advent, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and other services as may be required.
