Lenten Worship Schedule 2026
We embark on another Lenten season of repentance as we journey to the cross. See the schedule and themes for this season.
Lenten Devotionals
As we enter the holy season of Lent, we step into a sacred time of reflection, renewal, and preparation. These forty days invite us to slow down, return to the Lord, and walk with Christ toward the glory of Easter morning. To support our congregation in this meaningful journey, Trinity is pleased to offer a selection of Lenten devotionals for individuals, families, and children.
Message from the Executive Committee
During the January 25, 2026, Congregational Assembly we said we would summarize in the eNews the Executive Committee’s part of the presentation. Topics covered at the Assembly included the overall state of the church, church finances, staffing, and service/volunteerism. This week, we begin with the state of the church, finances, and staffing.

“Glory to the God who Bleeds” Sermon Series
What a profound and joyful mystery it is that Jesus would shed his blood for us! This series will guide us from the Gospel of John as we meditate on who Jesus is and what He has come to do for us in His life, ministry, death, and resurrection. We will be moved each week to give glory and praise to God for the salvation He has won for us on the cross.
