Worship

Our services begin at 9 each Sunday morning (Rite II).  We are grateful for the opportunity to pray and worship together in person.

Rev. Douglas Beck

Our rector is The Reverend Douglas A. Beck, ObJN. His weekly message to us begins,

The Sundays in Pentecost – sometimes we call this the long green season – are coming to a close. We’ve been preparing for the season’s end in recent weeks as our readings, particularly the Gospel, have been about the last things. Be watchful. Get ready. . . . .

Creating Community

At Trinity, we enjoy making connections with the larger community through charitable events as well as frequent gatherings, just for fun, to which all are invited. See a gallery of past events here.

Outreach activities play an important part in how we live our faith. Trinity works with H.O.M.E., a local organization, providing lunches to children during the summer.  Trinity also works with Blue Angel, providing a food garden for families in need.  We have recently answered a call from St. Saviors Anglican Church in Riga, Latvia, and sent them a two-minute video about out church.

A prayer in the wake of Lewiston

We continue to pray for the people of Lewiston:

God of peace, we remember all those who have died in incidents of mass gun violence in this nation’s public and private spaces, and this week in
Lewiston. Let light perpetual shine upon them.

All those who have died in any incident of gun violence. Give to the departed eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them.

For survivors of gun violence. Grant them comfort and healing. Hear us, Lord.

For those who have lost loved ones to gun violence. Grant them peace.  Hear us, Lord.

For those first responders who care for victims of gun violence.  Protect and strengthen them.  Hear us, Lord.

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
