Acolytes

There are many ways in which Acolytes assist in worship.  Among them, carrying the cross, candles, or torches, lighting candles, swing the incense thurible, and other tasks as requested by the priest and/or acolyte master.

Altar Guild

The care and changing of the Altar lies within the realm of the Altar Guild members, a group of volunteer people, from the congregation, who are willing to come before each service and reset the Altar with the elements and candles for the upcoming service.  After each service, the Altar is reverently cleaned, broken down, and the linens are washed and refreshed, when necessary, to be used again.

Flowers and Candle Dedications

The flowers and candle dedications are given each week by a member of the congregation in honor or in memory of a special occasion or loved one.  We are grateful that you allow us to grieve, remember, and celebrate with you.

Lay Readers and Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Members of the parish serve the church as Lay Readers in the reading of the lessons each Sunday and in speaking the Prayers of the People.  Those liscensed by the Bishop may also serve as Lay Eucharistic Ministers, assisting the priest with the chalice during weekly communion.  Please contact Stan Knick if you are interested in serving in either role.

Christian Education

Trinity Episcopal Church offers opportunities to expand your knowledge and understanding of your faith through Bible study, Advent and Lenten seasonal programs and concerts.

Stewardship

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God.  The Episcopal Church views stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents, and volunteering for ministry and mission.  It’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.  Here at Trinity our faith community strives to reach these goals of responsible stewardship daily with financial gifts as well as the donation of time and talent.  Please contact the church office for more information on how you can make a difference.

The United Thank Offering (UTO) is a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church.  Through UTO, individuals are invited to embrace and deepen a personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude.  UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for each blessing using a UTO Blue Box.  UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute the 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church, and Provinces of the Anglican Communion.
