    Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Lectionary 20A)

    We invite you to worship with us at one of our two weekend liturgies. A prerecorded online sung Service of the Word is made available at https://vimeo.com/trinityworcester by 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays for home worship.  An in-person spoken Service of the Word is held in the Trinity Nave at 10:00 a.m. Sundays with attendees wearing masks and following posted physical distancing guidelines.  Both liturgies are based on the appointed Sunday scripture readings.  In light of the ongoing risk posed by the Coronavirus we invite you to make a responsible and healthy decision in experiencing God’s Word in the liturgy right for you and your family.

    Throughout history, countless stories have portrayed the foreign woman as the primary source of trouble. In the gospel reading for this coming Sunday, a foreign woman argues her case before Jesus, but in the end, she is blessed. Come to hear this interesting story, and in hearing it receive mercy from the Master’s voice.
