Our Worship Life


Sunday Worship

Sustain Sierra with your Holy Spirit (1) Sustain Sierra with your Holy Spirit (2) Trinity's Anchor Community gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am. Under the direction of Director of Music Gywin Murray, the Trinity Choir supports this organ-based service. Prior to the liturgy, the presiding minister offers a parish ministry update. This takes place at about 9:20 am. Trinity's Sunday morning liturgy is a lively service wherein people of all ages --and lots of infants and children!-- find a home. Guests are always welcome.

Sanctuary Easter Vigil Rehearsal Trinity's Sanctuary Community gathers on Sunday mornings at 11:30 am followed by an occasional community meal at 12:30 noon. This informal and simple liturgy is supported by a variety of musicians including pianists, guitarists and drummers. Exploration of God's Word often takes the form of a pastor-led conversation --rather than a sermon or homily-- about the day's Scriptures.

Between the services, our community gathers for coffee and juice in the Katie Luther Room. From the Sunday after Labour Day through to the Victoria Day Weekend, a Nurturing Faith program is offered for all ages. Nurturing Faith includes adult learning classes for older folks and a Faith Adventures program with video theatre, drama & story-telling, arts & crafts and music for children and youth. For information about Trinity's Nurturing Faith program (learning ministries for all ages), contact Pastor Anderson.

Meal of the Baptized

At Trinity Church we believe the Sacrament of Holy Communion to be central to weekly worship and the birthright of the baptized. Every Sunday, the baptized of all ages and communities-of-origin are welcomed at our table.
