When you join us for worship, you will be greeted and given a bulletin that will help guide you through the order of the service. Episcopal services are based on The Book of Common Prayer which will be the red book in your pew.
During worship, you will be able to follow along from the bulletin with the corresponding page numbers in The Book of Common Prayer. There will be several opportunities where you can enjoy or join in singing hymns. Music and words for the hymns are found in the blue hymnal in the pew.
Episcopal worship is centered around Communion, also known as The Holy Eucharist. All are invited to come forward and receive the bread and wine during communion, or if you would prefer you can come forward to receive a blessing by the priest or simply remain seated.
Services start at 10:00am on Sundays. Service of Holy Eucharist typically lasts about an hour. Service of Morning Prayer is usually half an hour.
After service, please join us for refreshments and fellowship downstairs in Morrill Hall. A chairlift is available if needed.
If you would like more information about the Episcopal Church or how to join or get involved please see a church member or send an email to secretary@trinityware.org.
I added an app to my phone a while back called d365- Daily Devotionals. There is a theme for the week and each day is centered around 5 simple 'steps': starting with Pause to center the day, Listen provides a bit of Scripture, Think is a bit of reflection from the day's writer, Pray and Go- giving you a bit of direction.
I'd like to share with you the Pause for today:
Start your day by dwelling on all the good things you have; don't focus on counting them, but on living with gratitude. That's where God is- in the gratitude."
What is gratitude? More than just being thankful, gratitude is a deeper, broader appreciation for life, a mindset that acknowledges blessings even in hardship. A profound, enduring feeling of appreciation and a mindset that recognizes goodness in life.
God is in the gratitude because all things come from Him. If we focus on living with gratitude we can share the gifts we are given with others, and in this place we know that others, living in their gratitude, will be there to share their gifts with us.
Peace to you all-
Suzanne
