Trinity Tidings | March 27th Edition
Sunday Worship
Last Sunday. . .
Pr. Hans explored the story of Lazarus and what it means that Easter is already hiding inside our grief.
Trinity Choir sang a setting of Psalm 23 by Howard Goodall. Fans of the famous sitcom “The Vicar of Dibley” will recognize the melody from the show’s opening theme. Goodall effectively weaves the melody between organ, soloist, vocal sections, and full choir, emulating our journey as we’re shepherded through the Lenten season, and through life.
This Sunday. . .
worship will be focused on the palm procession which begins outside and the premiere of Dr. Wentz’s choral meditations based on St. Matthew’s Passion.
Trinity Together Sunday Forum
