— Sunday Mornings

 

Your first time at worship at a church can be an adventure when you do not know what to expect. At Trinity all services include music, preaching, an offering, and a time for public responses to God’s Word. Each service is slightly different.
 
What Do I Wear?   Modest/casual “as you are” to formal.  8:30 & 9:45 services with a Praise Team or acoustical worship you will see maybe one tie. 11:00 service with piano, organ & choir you will see more ties and dresses.

Welcome to 2024! I hope and trust your New Year is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe the first month of this year is over already!
 
The Worship Ministry of TBCK is back in full swing, of course, and we are looking forward to a wonderful year. The biggest project on the schedule right now is “The Victor”. Of course, this is my first time leading and being a part of this wonderful tradition, and I have had a great time learning the music and drama and all the moving parts. If you have never been a part of this moving production we would love for you to come join us. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have. There are any number of ways you could be involved and use your gifts and talents.
 

Looking forward to a wonderful year with our church family.

Take a moment, stop and reflect on what Christmas means: Jesus Christ is born! Treasure this season, make memories, and try not to get caught up in the stressful chaos of ‘to-do’ lists. Instead, enjoy the time spent with family and friends as you celebrate together.

 

Merry Christmas, Church Family!

Prime Time Singers – October 2023

by Doug Lusk
 
The Prime Time Singers is a family of people who love the Lord and who love to sing, and they are delighted to spread His word by doing something they enjoy so much. 
 
Interim Choir Director Becky Doyle did a superb job last season in directing and helping the choir learn the songs they performed for people who might not otherwise have the chance to hear music live and in person.
 
This season the Singers will be directed by Charlie Barganier, Trinity’s new Minister of Worship. Lew King will continue as pianist/arranger. A number of his works are included in the group’s repertoire. Rehearsals are held at 10 am on Tuesdays and last about an hour and a half.
 
The first Sing Outs of the new season are tentatively scheduled for River Hill on September 26 and at Hilltop October 17. Participation in the 2023 Everlasting Choir Celebration is being considered and will be decided in October.
 

Prime Time Singers was pleased to welcome several new members recently and always has another chair available for more. They will gladly welcome you to join them in joyously singing about God’s love and grace.

Music Notes – August 2023

 
Christmas Preview Dinner Already??
 
Things are about to ramp up in the Worship Ministry as we begin preparations for the holiday season—starting with the Christmas Preview Dinner! If you have attended the Christmas Preview Dinner in the past, you know it’s typically a themed dinner event, that we enjoy food and fellowship while hearing the debut of our Christmas Cantata for the season!
 
This year’s theme is 1950s Sock Hop! Dig out your poodle skirt, slick back your hair, grab a friend, and join us August 27th in the Family Life Center at 6:00pm! Everyone is welcome. Be there or be square…
 
Worship Choir Returns! Wednesdays at 7:00pm
 
If you’re interested in joining the 11:00 service Worship Choir, your opportunity to jump in at the start of the season is rapidly approaching! Worship Choir starts back up August 23rd. Worship Choir sings at 11:00 service every Sunday, and typically sings more traditional anthems. Here’s hoping many of our Summer Singers ‘graduate’ to Worship Choir!
 
Early Bird? Check out the 8:30 Praise Choir
 
If you like to sing, but prefer an earlier service…. if seating charts aren’t your thing, and you like a little more laid-back atmosphere, then you would probably love singing with the 8:30 Praise Choir. The 8:30 Praise Choir sings more contemporary music than the Worship Choir. They meet Tuesdays at 6:00pm in the Worship Center. Call Stephanie in the Church Office if you’re interested in joining the Praise Choir.
 
“I will sing to the Lord all my life, I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.” Psalm 104:33
