Worship this Sunday

We invite you to worship with us either in-person or online.

LIVESTREAM video available at www.vimeo.com/trinityworcester

Holy Eucharist is offered at Trinity Church on Sundays at 8:00 a.m. in Christ Chapel and at 10:00 a.m. in the Nave. The 10:00 a.m. worship service is also available to watch and hear online via our Vimeo channel or through our congregational website.

Lutherans teach and confess that Christ is present in the assembly gathered around the proclaimed Word of God, in the water and the Word of Holy Baptism, and in the shared meal of bread and wine at Holy Communion.

This coming Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. Christ is “advancing” towards us. In the past, God came to us in the life of Jesus. In the present, God comes especially in word and sacrament. In the future, even if there is disaster, God will come to gather us into life. This Sunday we light the first candle on our Advent wreath, and we begin a year-long reading from the Gospel of Mark.
