Midweek Worship Services during Lent

     Join us for midweek worship throughout the season of Lent. This year’s theme is
A Song for the Road: Journey through Lent with the Psalms. The Psalms are a collection of songs, found in our Old Testament, which are regularly sung or read in Christian worship. Psalms 120-134 are often called the “Songs of Ascent,” for these psalms were sung by Jewish pilgrims making their way up to Jerusalem to worship in the Temple. During Lent we will focus on five of those Psalms. Together in our weekly midweek worship, we’ll contemplate our creatureliness, Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem and the cross, and the awesome life-giving power of God.
     Midweek services are held Wednesday mornings (7:00 a.m.) and Thursday evenings (6:30 p.m.) in our chapel. Holy Communion is offered at each service. A breakfast will be available following Wednesday morning services in the Gathering Space—linger with your Trinity friends over coffee, or make your breakfast more of a “grab-and-go.”
     Dates and themes are as follows:
          February 29 and March 1 - Protection (Psalm 121)
          March 7 and 8 - Humility (Psalm 131)
          March 14 and 15 - Help (Psalm 124)
          March 21 and 22 - Hope (Psalm 130)
          March 28 and 29 - Joy (Psalm 126)

The Triduum

On Maundy Thursday we begin the Triduum, which means "The Three Days."  The Triduum includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Vigil of Easter (on Easter Eve).  The three liturgies on these days are considered to be one service of worship.  No benediction separates our worship on these days.  We leave the worship space in silence from each liturgy for just a while in order to return and continue participating in the great mystery and miracle of our redemption.

Maundy Thursday, April 5
