Worship

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

This week, the message from our Priest-in-Charge, Rev. Douglas A. Beck, begins:

““We will.” This is the response we, as the people of Trinity Church, will give unanimously when asked by Bishop Brown, “Will you who witness these vows (of the confirmands) do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?” Then we will all join with the confirmands in recommitting ourselves as they commit themselves to Christ, renewing our own baptismal covenant. . . .

Read Rev. Beck’s full message.

 

 

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.  For more information on outreach, general news updates, photos and commentary, check out  our website’s blog.

If you wish to make an online contribution, you may do so here. Select Trinity, Castine from the list of churches (scroll down to the sixth row), and follow the instructions. With gratitude, we appreciate your support.
