Sunday Worship

Trinity gathers for Sunday worship at 8:50 and 10:50 am. The service is the same for both services as is the music. Nursery Care is available during both services. Older children may join their parents in the sanctuary until after the children’s story and then, if they wish, attend Sunday School during the 8:50 am service. During the summer months, from June to September, Trinity’s Sunday worship service is held at 9:50 am. Nursery care is still offered, as is Sunday School.
Our worship style would be described as informal, interactive, casual, spirit filled, warm, and family oriented. Blended worship combines contemporary with traditional music and our Praise team, choir, and hymn book all support this style of music.
At Trinity, we warmly welcome visitors, seekers or those just curious to perhaps know a little more about the true contentment that comes when you put the love of Jesus Christ into your life.
Most Worship Services are video taped for the benefit of those who are unable to attend. The last six months of services tapes are kept in a glass enclosed wall cabinet in the main hallway or call the Church office if you need someone to deliver a tape to your home.

Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Special and/or additional services are held at Easter, Christmas, during the summer and at other times throughout the year.

Baptism services are a frequent occurrence at Trinity. When a parent presents a child for this exciting ceremony, they are making a commitment to raise the child in Christian faith. The congregation also welcomes the child into our community of faith and also makes the same commitment to help the child grow in Christ. If you are interested in finding out more about baptism and begin this exciting journey in faith with your child, contact Rev Seaman or speak to any elder.

Confirmation services at Trinity take place after a period of study when there is a group of young people ready for confirmation or for individual cases as needed. In the Presbyterian Church, during a Confirmation service a person ‘confirms’ Baptismal vows, usually made previously, on their behalf by their parents and professes that they are making their own choice to advance in their knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. They are saying that they want to grow in Christ and live the life that God has called them to. They are making a statement that they want to contribute to the growth and strength of our Lord’s mission and ministry to the world, through the church.
For many people, this is a time when God has come alive to them and they desire to grow in grace, faith, knowledge and love. People at this stage of their journey want to put their faith in action and to invest in a ministry that they perceive to be important.
Confirmation usually happens in the teen years, but it can happen later in someone’s life, if for some reason, they were not confirmed as a teen. For those teens or adults who have not been baptized, they would be Baptized and Confirmed during the same ceremony.

Taize Worship Services
Taize (“Teh-zay”) services have a long history and are now practised internationally by numerous Christian denominations, both Protestant and Catholic. The original Taize Community, located in a secluded town in the hills of France near the town of Cluny, was founded by a Protestant pastor, Brother Roger, during the Second World War.  This small community, whose goal is to encourage reconciliation between all denominations has grown since then into a community which attracts thousands of visitors each year.
Taize services beyond the Taize Community in France, however, follow the same principals of quiet relaxation, reflection, contemplative prayer, gentle music, candlelight, song and silence.  In these times of stress and such constant busyness a Taize service is indeed appealing as it allows you to connect with God in an intimate meditative relationship. Trinity frequently offers Taize services.  Check  the calendar or News and Events link for dates of future services and join us for a period of renewal and a sense of peace which stays with you long after you leave the service.
