Savior of the nations, come, make here your home!
The hymn “Savior of the Nations, Come” has accompanied Christians on their Advent journey for hundreds of years. This annual service of seasonal music and moving readings from Holy Scripture is a spiritual oasis in the midst of the busy holiday hubbub, offering time for reflection, meditation, and peace. The offering will support Trinity’s ministry of Music and the Arts. A reception will follow the service.
Advent Devotionals 2024
Advent devotionals will be available at both campuses beginning November 23-24. Choose from a variety selected for different ages and stages.
Advent and Christmas Theme and Worship Schedule
