What to Expect in Worship
Episcopal worship at Trinity is traditional, reverent, and deeply rooted in the Anglican tradition.
-
Liturgy: Our services follow the classic forms of the Book of Common Prayer, with prayers, scripture readings, and responses led by clergy and congregation. The liturgy is structured, yet welcoming—whether you are familiar or new, you’ll find clear guidance in the printed bulletin.
-
Music: The choir leads the congregation in hymns and psalms, and offers anthems spanning from Renaissance masters to present-day composers, all in the Anglican choral tradition. Most hymns come from The Hymnal 1982, a beloved resource in Episcopal worship. You’ll experience:
-
Congregational singing of hymns and psalms
-
Choir-led anthems and responses
-
Music that enriches the liturgy and invites participation
-
-
Style: The worship is both beautiful and accessible, with moments of quiet reflection, joyful singing, and shared prayer.
You’ll find the order of service in a printed bulletin that guides you step by step. You don’t need to know what to do: simply follow along, listen, and participate as you feel comfortable.
