Sunday Worship
More important than any of the things we do here, is what God does
among us. Here He enters our lives, so often burdened with sin and
cares, through His Word of pardon and peace. God speaks His Covenant
love in Christ into lives subjected to voices that daily attempt
to draw us in so many directions.
Each Lord’s Day, God calls us into His presence, renews
and restores us in our covenant relationship with Himself, and fills
us with praise. God then speaks His Word through the Holy Scriptures
and Sacraments, which reveal Christ when they are read and faithfully
proclaimed and administered among us. In His Word we find His will,
His truth, and His love for us. When we gather together each Lord’s
Day, God speaks to us from that Word and blesses us and sends us
back into the world spiritually strengthened
and blessed.
If you are seeking to grow in your relationship with God and with
His people, there is room for you at Trinity. We hope that you will
come and join us for Sunday worship, fellowship, and Sunday school.
Sunday Worship 9:30 a.m.
Coffee and Fellowship 10:45 a.m.
Eleven O'Clock Hour: Sunday School (During the school year)
Sunday School
We believe the knowledge of God’s Word to be of utmost importance
for individuals and families. Children's Sunday school classes, for
all ages, are offered in order to assist and reinforce the instruction
parents are giving their children at home. The Great Commission
Publication Sunday School Curriculum is used by most classes.
Bible and topical studies are offered each week for adults. Our
goal is that through the study of God’s word, we adults will
be “adequately equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy
3:16-17
Mercy Ministries
We are committed, as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, to serve
our church family, our neighbors and our community through ministry
of both word and deed. At Trinity, we understand that we are saved
by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Yet as members of
the Bride of Christ (His Church) we are called to serve those in
need. We are not saved through any act or acts of mercy which we
perform, but are saved through the perfect work of mercy performed
by Jesus Christ on our behalf. Yet, our desire to serve is a fruit
born out of the love we have been given for the One who first loved
us. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross of Calvary was the ultimate,
eternal act of mercy.
Long before that ultimate, merciful act of sacrifice, as Jesus
traveled and taught concerning the coming of His kingdom and the
offer of salvation through faith alone, He performed deeds of love
and compassion. These miraculous feedings, healings and other ministries
served to confirm the authority of His words and the restoring power
of His kingdom. As believers in the Son of God, we are called to
mercy ministry in the same spirit of love and compassion modeled
by Christ, enabled by the same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus’
ministry.
One example of Jesus’ teaching about performing acts of mercy
is found in Matthew 25:31-46. As our Lord taught upon the Mount
of Olives about the coming final judgment, and the separation of
believers from unbelievers, he said to the believers, “Come,
you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave
me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and
you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and
you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous
will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed
you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger
and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you
sick or in prison and visit you? And the King will answer them,
Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these
my brothers, you did it to me.”
At Trinity Presbyterian Church, we seek to be a compassionate,
serving body, eager to provide hope and encouragement to those in
need through our mercy ministry. If you are in need spiritually,
emotionally, or physically and don’t know where to turn, we
hope you will contact us so that we may minister to you. If you
are a believer in Jesus Christ and seeking a place to apply your
gifts in ministries of mercy to our community, we invite you to
visit Trinity and see if God might be calling you to join us in
our biblical commitment to serve those most in need of mercy.
