Worship at Trinity...
Often (but not always) the first
activity in which people new to Trinity participate is formal Christian Worship.
It's what most people think of as "going to church."
At Trinity we have two principal worship services
each Sunday.
At 8 AM, we celebrate Holy Eucharist,
usually according
to Rite I.
This is the smaller of our two Sunday services, and
(except for special Sundays such as Easter) there's no
music at this service.
At 10:30 AM, we celebrate Holy Eucharist,
usually
according to Rite II, but at this service we have organ and choral
music year-round. Usually the priest sings or chants a portion of the liturgy at
this service.

If you're new to
the Episcopal Church -- or to church in general -- some of the
information on this page is apt to be just a little confusing.
We've got
another page that explains some of the "church
talk" and tells a
little more about what you can expect at Trinity.

will open in a new window so you can move back and forth easily) |

Occasionally -- a few Sundays per year -- we
may substitute Morning Prayer (usually according to Rite I) instead of or in
addition to Holy Eucharist, but again
there's usually no music at the 8 AM service and music at the 10:30 AM service.
On the principal Feast days and other days of
obligation during the Church year we usually have additional services. Some
examples include Christmas Eve,
Christmas Day,
Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday,
Maundy Thursday,
Good Friday,
Holy Saturday,
Ascension Day, and others.
Our special services are usually announced in the
Lakeville Journal,
generally announced on this website, and always
announced in
our
recorded message on the parish phone. Call 860-435-2627 at any time for
a recording of the times of services.
