Extended Worship - Palm Sunday - April 5, 2020
Over the coming weeks while we are unable to join together in person for worship due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we will be gathering for extended worship as a community. As we set aside time today for prayer and reflection we are not doing so alone, we are gathered together in a community of faith that is strong and vibrant.
Each Sunday I will be sharing with you resources so you may join your Trinity family in extended worship. This week we celebrate Palm Sunday and Communion. Before entering worship I encourage you to have bread and juice or wine on hand to participate in communion. If you have questions, check out this recent post & video.
Thank you to both Carla and Robert for their musical gifts this week (and for recording our hymns in their own homes and trusting me to blend them together!). I also want to thank Carla, Nia, Kristin, Brenda, and Ilace for helping me with our readings for the week.

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. Each of these is being added to a playlist on our church YouTube Channel called "Music for Social Distancing" so over the weeks we will build quite the collection!
