Worship at Trinity Lime Rock
WELCOME!
While we do many things at Trinity, usually 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 according to Rite II. This tends to be 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 according to Rite II again, but at this service we have organ and choral music. Frequently the celebrant sings or chants much of the liturgy.

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 lingo" and tells a little more about what you can expect at Trinity. Click here to see it. (That page 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 according to Rite I instead of Holy Eucharist, but again our practice of no music at the 8 AM service and music at the 10:30 AM service generally holds true.
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, nearly always announced on the Vicar's blog, and always in our recorded message on the parish phone. Call 860-435-2627 at any time for a recording of the times of services.
