Your First Visit

                           Your First Visit

Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m. and Worship at 10:30 a.m. Sunday School is
approximately 45 minutes and worship one hour.

When you arrive at Trinity, use the driveway to the large parking lot at the back of the
building. There are handicapped reserved spots on the first two rows of parking.

As you look at the church from the parking lot on your left is an alcove with large glass
windows and doors. That is the entrance to the sanctuary. There is another smaller
door to the right side of the building which is a short cut to the office, class rooms,
nursery, Fellowship and Founder’s Halls, and other rooms.

After you've entered through the glass doors you’ll be greeted and given worship
bulletins. If you arrive around 10:15 a.m. you’ll hear the prelude music which usually
continues until the service begins.   You will also hear the sounds of people greeting
one another and exchanging news.   We are glad to be together!    Around 10:25 a.m.
our minister, The Rev. Dr. Allison Seed, a worship assistant and the choir will gather at
the back to walk forward to begin the service.   However, you’ll quickly note there are
usually several others there and you’ll be warmly greeted by several of them along with
the greeters.

Trinity people enjoy others and there are conversations, laughs, hugs and greetings
until Allison and the choir walk to the front to begin the service. She’ll open the service
with announcements and other items of interest to the congregation, and then the
service will begin.

The service will follow quite closely the outline given in the worship bulletin.   The
service will have hymns of praise, prayers, scripture readings, corporate confession,
message by the minister, children’s time, songs by the choir and by the congregation
and the presentation of offerings. Often a Minute for Mission is given to inform the
people of additional methods of meeting needs of local and world-wide communities.

During services there may be other special events, such as baptisms, music
presentations, communion, and a "passing of the peace" when we greet others around
us in the congregation.

During the presentation of our tithes and offerings a Friendship Book will be passed up
and down each pew so everyone will have an opportunity to enter his or her name as in
attendance. You’re invited to enter your name and address as we would sincerely
appreciate the opportunity to furnish you with more information about Trinity.

At the conclusion of the worship service Dr. Seed will move to the rear of the sanctuary
to greet members of the congregation and guests.   You are cordially invited and
encouraged to greet Dr. Seed.

If you wish to visit further with Dr. Seed or any other person or committee, you are
invited to include that wish by your name in the Friendship Book. Or, when you meet
her after the service ask her to contact you at a time convenient for both of you.
