Extended Worship - December 6, 2020 - The Second Sunday of Advent
Today we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent; the season of preparation for the coming of Christ. During worship this week we have amazing music featuring Ilace Mears and David Wilson, the Groves family lighting the Advent Wreath, and we will celebrate the Lord's Supper. If you have Advent candles, have them handy so you can light yours during the service, and if you want to take part in Communion make sure to have bread and cup.
Thank you for being part of the Trinity family. If there are ways I can be a support to you this week, please reach out.

Music for Social Distancing
Each week our staff will be sharing some music that is bringing them joy. Some may relate to the sermon, others are just music for the times. You can click herefor the full playlist. Here are this week's picks:
This week's songs from Chris:
Over the next few weeks I'll be recommending music of the season - likely at least a whole Christmas album each week.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel by The Piano Guys - This instrumental setting of the classic hymn for piano and cello is simply beautiful.
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel / Come Thou Long Expected Jesus by The Petersens - Two classic Advent hymns in a bluegrass style.
Joy - An Irish Christmas by Keith and Kristyn Getty - This is a playlist of the Getty's Christmas Album "Joy" - and it certainly is that!
Advent Carol Service from King's College Cambridge - A full Advent service, featuring liturgy and carols, from Cambridge University in 2019.
