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. Due to ongoing concerns related to COVID-19, attendees are urged to wear face-masks, but there is no requirement. This 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.
