Welcome to Trinity Presbyterian!

WHAT TO EXPECT
When you arrive at Trinity you are welcome to park anywhere on site. There is handicap/accessible parking near both main (east and west) entrances, as well as our basement entrance near the playground. Most members enter using the main entrances; you will find Trinity greeters at both doors. When you enter the sanctuary for worship you will be given a bulletin; this guide to worship helps orient you to what will we will be doing during worship. Parts of worship where you are invited to participate will also be projected on the screens. Your bulletin also contains a list of events taking place at the church for the upcoming week, plus contact information for our church. Feel free to take your bulletin home.
Our one-hour services follow a traditional structure and feature music and messages that aim to inspire hearts and lift spirits each week. We sing a wide range of music from traditional hymns to contemporary praise; all the lyrics are made available on screens in the sanctuary so you don’t have to worry about finding the right page in the book, although many of our members still sing from our two songbooks. We are blessed to have many talented musicians in our congregation, and often enjoy special features such as the trumpet, cello, hammer dulcimer, soloists of all ages, and more.
We typically celebrate Communion / The Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month, plus certain holidays. All people are invited to join us for Communion as we celebrate an open table. If you attend on a Communion Sunday there will be instructions in your bulletin on how to participate if you wish.
After our “passing of the peace” ritual, children of all ages are welcomed to the front to hear a special message. Before our scripture readings and sermon, children in Preschool through Grade 4 may leave to attend our special Worship and Wonder program. Nursery care for infants and toddlers is offered for the entire service time.
As a visitor, you can expect to be greeted by our welcome team, ushers, and members throughout your time. If you arrive before worship begins at 11:30, grab a cookie and a cup of coffee in either the east or west lobby and meet some of our members! You might also meet members of Brentwood Christian Church, as we share space with their congregation.
Our members usually wear nametags (although some of us do forget from time to time!), so you can easily identify us and ask us any questions that you may have. We won’t stare you down if you don’t have a nametag… although we are a very friendly bunch, so don’t be surprised if we want to meet you and give you a warm welcome. We are all so excited to share the joy, laughter, and love that are integral to our culture – and can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself! Folks at Trinity wear a lot of different things to church. You will see people in jeans and shorts and suits … and everything in-between. We don’t consider worship a time for us to show off our clothing for one another, so wear what you find comfortable.
