Trinity Anglican Churchis a Christian family. We are people who come together to worship God. We believe in the Christian faith as once delivered to the Saints (Jude 1:3) and expressed in the ancient Creeds of the Church.We are reformed in a way of saying that we teach the faith, the whole faith and nothing but the faith. We are a Sacramental Church in that we have those gifts of grace through Baptism, Holy Communion and the other Sacraments so we can be in this world and not of it, and to grow in Christ. The authority for this is founded in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible and in the Apostolic lineage the Traditional Anglican Communion has maintained.
Along with worship comes learning. Adults learn in the pews, children learn in Sunday School. Pre-school and early elementary Sunday School is very Bible based. Lessons and crafts are tied together with scripture and story. As the children grow older the curriculum is geared to the growing mind and begins to be tied in with the lessons and themes of the Church year. In addition, the youth group of the parish istaking the lessons taught in their earlier years and finding ways through prayer, service and fun to be good young Christians.
We also recognize that being a Christian is a lifelong process of growth, and we offer opportunity Bible Study and Adult Christian Education. And sometimes we do things as a Church family just to have fun.
So if you are a looking for a traditional church, then Trinity Anglican Church is for you.Please join us any Sunday at 8:00 AM or 9: 30 AM (Sunday School is at 9:30 AM). We would love to get to know you, and have you get to know us.
Sincerely, Fr. Owen Williams, Rector
NEWS FROM THE HILL
Parish Life
Dear Fellow Parishioners, Wow! It is already 2012! We had a great fall. It was a nice, sunny day when we went apple picking and then we had super yummy apple desserts. The kids also enjoyed a fun Halloween party. And I am hopeful we will make it sledding this year since we now have some snow. We will have a Parish Life Committee meeting on January 29th and plan a sledding trip for February. All are welcome. Any other ideas would be great. I would love to help plan stuff that everyone would like to do. Please contact me with any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,
Beth
Trinity Anglican Church Mission Statement A Parish of Christian Men, Women and Children who worship God Almighty in the Trinity of The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost. We worship God in the manner of the Apostles of Jesus Christ - “And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” [The Acts of the Apostles 2:42] We gather on Sundays and Special Feast Days of the Universal Church for the Sacrament of Holy Communion as our principal form of Worship and in accordance to the Ancient Customs of the Church in Britain. We are convinced that the best expression of this Faith and Practice are found in the Book of Common Prayer when it was revised in this country in the Year of our Lord, 1928.
In addition to the Service of Holy Communion, Trinity Anglican Church utilizes the Services of Morning and Evening Prayer and other Sacramental Offices to enhance the prayer life of the Parish.
We at Trinity Anglican Church also believe that knowledge of our Traditions and Customs as well as the Theology and History of the Church are integral to maintaining the Christian Faith – “ … and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” [The Epistle of St. Jude 1:3] We offer at various times during the year education programs, and for children, Sunday School.
By so doing, we endeavor to fulfill our mission: TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND TO MAKE CHRIST KNOWN
Stewardship of Time
How can you share your gifts with the Church? Do you feel that you have a gift for teaching? Do you feel that you have “zeal for the House of the Lord?” Do you feel that you have time to serve God in the community? Do you feel that you have the gift to visit the sick or the homebound? Do you feel you can best serve God by praying for others, but you just don’t know for whom to pray? Do you feel that God has given you so much and you are not sure how to give back? These are questions which often come up as we contemplate the great gift that God gave of Himself for us in this Christmas season. We should be truly touched and moved when we see the Holy Family in those meager surroundings, how God humbled Himself to be born of a Virgin. If this is the case, maybe we should ask God, “Lord, what would you have me do to serve You?”
T.N.T.
Thursday Nights at Trinity
Yes!! Beginning in January T.N.T. will be returning to Thursday nights. We will be keeping the same format. 6:00 PM we will gather for a simple meal. At 6:30 PM we will begin our Bible Study. January 13th we will be having a Bible Study of Genesis, the First Book of the Bible. This will be a classic Bible study. That is to say, each week we will read and study a piece or a Saga or Story from Genesis. We will then see what it meant to the people about whom it was written. Then we will discuss what the Church says about the passage. Finally, we will discuss what this mean to us today in our lives. This can lead to some lively discussion as we attempt to tackle a book written several thousand years ago and can it be as relevant today as then? Big Questions! Come Join us. January 13th
