Special Events

On the Second Sunday of each month, the Trinity community gathers in the Parish Hall following the 10:30 service to share food, fellowship and fun.

The Second Sunday Celebration Team coordinates each month's theme and provides the entrée; parishioners bring a covered dish to complete the meal. Themes have included Western Day (brisket); Tailgate Party (wear your team colors); Fiesta (yummy Mexican food)! Festive decorations add a bit of ambience to create a relaxed environment for conversation. It's our favorite time to simply enjoy one another's company in community!

Famous for their fabulous cooking, MOT provides a hot, delicious breakfast for the parish on the third Sunday of each month. On several occasions throughout the year, MOT grills hamburgers and hotdogs for picnics and parish suppers. Additionally, every spring for the past 50+ years, the Men of Trinity have hosted a Fish Fry fundraiser. Its held at the Trinity Retreat Center and well over 300 men from the community attend.

Vacation Bible School at Trinity is a week-long, all-day camp filled with activities and crafts, and of course, chapel and Bible verses. The 65-acre Trinity Conference Center provides the beautiful setting for the camp, where the children can canoe in the small lake, fish off the bridge, enjoy playing in the playground, or attend chapel under the pines. All activities center around a theme, and love for God and biblical truths are taught in creative and fun ways. The camp is open to kindergarten through 5th graders (3 and 4-year olds can attend in the mornings), and teenagers assist in the care and instruction of the children. Children bring their lunch; snacks and drinks are provided. Verse memorization, singing, crafts, and fun activities - what better way is there to show kids the love of God! The camp is provided free of charge as a ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church and each participant receives a t-shirt.

From time to time, Trinity is pleased to host a guest speaker in a field of particular expertise to invite and inspire our members and guests into a deeper, more fulfilling journey with Christ. Recent guests have included Dr. Tracy Radosevic, a professional Biblical storyteller, and Janet Davis, author of "The Feminine Soul: Surprising Ways the Bible Speaks to Women."

Offered once a year, Discovery Weekend is an amazing, interactive immersion into the Episcopal Church. Through a rousing game of Catechetical Pursuit, live-and-in-person visits from King Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer, a fashion show of vestments and much more, we enjoy learning the theology and thought behind our Christian faith and our Episcopal traditions. Participants who complete the weekend are eligible (though not required) to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church.

Each November the parish gathers for a meal of Thanksgiving to acknowledge and appreciate the many blessings God has bestowed upon us, both individually and as a church community.

Every spring for the past 50+ years, the Men of Trinity have hosted a Fish Fry fundraiser. It's held at the Trinity Retreat Center and well over 300 men from the community attend.

On the evening of the fourth Sunday of Advent, the Trinity community gathers to decorate the church with greenery and poinsettias for the upcoming Christmas season. The greens symbolize and celebrate the everlasting life we experience through Jesus. It is a time of fun and joyful preparation. Christmas carols and hot chocolate make it a perfect holiday event!

Trinity celebrates the Lord's birth with two Christmas Eve Eucharist services. One is a family service in which some of our young children re-enact the Nativity Story. The second is a more formal "midnight" service. Both are noted for their extraordinary music and are lovely opportunities to welcome and worship the Christ child.

The day before Ash Wednesday is known as Shrove Tuesday. To "shrive" someone, in old-fashioned English, is to hear their acknowledgement of sins, to assure them of God's forgiveness, and to give them appropriate spiritual advice. On Shrove Tuesday, many Christians make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life they especially need to ask God's help in dealing with. Often they consult on these matters with a spiritual counselor, or receive "shrift." Shrove Tuesday is also called Fat Tuesday, because on that day a thrifty cook uses up the fats that have been kept around (the can of bacon drippings, or whatever) for cooking, but that will not be using during Lent. Since pancakes are a standard way of using up fat, pancakes became the traditional Shrove Tuesday meal in England. At Trinity, our Pancake Supper is a time of fellowship and fun, a final frivolous celebration before the somber Lenten Season begins.

Lent consists of the forty days before Easter; however, we skip over the Sundays when we count the days of Lent, because Sunday is always the joyful celebration of the Resurrection. Therefore, the first day of Lent in the western Church is always a Wednesday. During Lent, ancient Christians mourned their sins and repented of them, and showed their sincerity by putting ashes on their foreheads. The custom has persisted in the church as secular society has changed around us. At Trinity, we hold two Ash Wednesday services, one mid-day and one in the evening.

The week before Easter is known as Holy Week, which we honor with a series of special services. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, the day that we remember Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on his way to the cross. At Trinity, we celebrate that occasion with our own procession of palms, as we journey en masse around the block before entering the church for worship.

Maundy Thursday is recognized with a special service that includes the stripping of the altar, remembering the darkness of the night in which Jesus was betrayed and sentenced to death. We remember Good Friday with a service of Stations of the Cross, in which we remember the passion of Christ.

Easter Sunday, the first day of the fifty day, Easter season is a day of great celebration and joy! Alleluia! Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed!
