  Second Sunday in Lent

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

  LIVESTREAM video available at www.vimeo.com/trinityworcester

  Holy Eucharist is offered in the Trinity Nave at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday. All attendees wear face-masks and follow posted physical distancing guidelines. Up to six singers with masks sing from the organ gallery during the liturgy. The assembly does not sing. We commune with the bread only, received directly from the Presiding Minister in mask and gloves. This worship service is also available to watch and hear online via our Vimeo channel or through our congregational website.

  In light of the ongoing risk posed by the coronavirus we invite you to make a responsible and healthy decision regarding your participation in our worship. 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.

  Hymn of the Day: Hymn 667 Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said, BOURBON

  In Sunday’s gospel, Jesus predicts his death and calls all of his disciples, including us, to follow him. The other readings liken us to Abraham and Sarah, who are called to have faith in the promises of God given us in baptism. We meet to renew our communal covenant of grace.
