Worship

Our services begin at 9 each Sunday morning (Rite II).  We are grateful for the opportunity to pray and worship together in our lovely, historic church at 9 each Sunday morning. During our search for a new rector/vicar/priest-in-charge, we welcome various Episcopal priests and church leaders to preside over our worship services. You may also view these services livestream service on our YouTube channel.

For those interested in the position of part-time rector/vicar/priest-in-charge at Trinity Castine, our Diocesan Office of Transition Ministry has posted a full Ministry Portfolio for the position. You may view this document here.

 

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. We are now starting the yearly collection to support the HOME day care center for Christmas, 2024. To help, see Joan Austin.

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. To see the video and read the story, check out our blog.

Special Service on December 15

Sunday Service December 15–Special Service

Our Sunday service on December 15 will be the last one celebrated at Trinity by Rev. Steve Hayward, who has been a stalwart celebrant for many years. Steve is retiring — once more, but this time it seems for real — and we will have a bountiful coffee hour to send him off.

We hope you can join us!
