Holy Trinity has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and we want your experience with us to be enjoyable and meaningful. Here is information you may want to know ahead of worshipping with us the first time. We look forward to meeting you!
Are you offering in-person worship services?
Holy Trinity is offering both in-person worship and simultaneous livestreams for our 10:00 am worship services. Masks are optional for in-person worship, but a section of our Sanctuary is reserved for those who are more comfortable sitting with others who are masked. We can’t wait to see you!
What are the services like?
Holy Trinity offers traditional Lutheran services with a mix of worship music styles and accompaniment by pipe organ or a piano/guitar/bass ensemble, depending on the week. (See the Worship Music page for more information.) The service includes readings from the Bible, hymns, a sermon, spoken or sung responses and prayers, a choir anthem or other special music, and Holy Communion. It usually lasts about an hour. Everything you need to participate is printed in an easy-to-follow service bulletin and a large-print version of the bulletin is available at in-person services.
Does the service include content for my children?
Yes! We love to have children attend worship and each service includes a special Children’s Message. We offer a staffed nursery near the sanctuary and other supports for parents with a child needing a break from the service (see the Children in Worship page for more information).
Can I take Communion?
Yes. We celebrate Holy Communion at each service and all are welcome to participate regardless of their faith tradition. Those worshipping online are welcome to partake of wine and bread at their home. For those worshipping in-person, we have returned to our standard Communion practice of coming forward for distributed Communion, with grape juice available for those who prefer it to wine and gluten-free wafers also available. Children who are not yet taking Communion can come forward for a blessing.
Is there a fellowship time as well?
Yes. In-person worshippers can enjoy the Coffee Fellowship outside (weather permitting), which provides a great opportunity to meet the people of Holy Trinity. All are welcome to enjoy coffee, tea or juice and visitors can expect to be greeted. We are a friendly bunch!
Livestream worshippers have the option of entering a Coffee Fellowship “breakout room” to converse with a small group of other attendees after the worship service.
What do people wear to in-person worship?
Some people dress up, but most folks wear casual clothing. Wear whatever you find comfortable for worship.
Where can I park for in-person worship services?
We have two parking lots, both accessible from Woodlawn Avenue. There are parking spots reserved for Visitors in both lots and those with handicapped parking tags will find designated spaces along the curb directly in front of the main entrance. Street parking in the neighborhood also is readily available.
How do I find the worship space?
Our online worship is livestreamed via Zoom and requires entry of a passcode. Please fill out this form to instantly access the passcode.
For in-person worship, our main entrance is through the double glass doors on the Woodlawn Avenue side of the building. When you enter, you will be in the lobby for the worship space. You will see people chatting, a Welcome Center and electronic display with information about the church and upcoming events, and a greeter at a small table to the right of the worship space entrance directly ahead. The greeter will provide you with a welcome packet, invite you to sign our welcome book (we promise not to pester you), and answer any questions you may have.
Is the indoor worship space accessible?
Yes. Stair-free access to the main entrance is available via a sloped brick pathway (with railing) to the right of the main entrance and we have a set of powered doors that can be opened by pressing a button.
