Please join us for worship On Sunday, June 7, as we observe the Second Sunday After Pentecost. We have entered the season of the Sundays after Pentecost, which stretches before us as a veritable sea of liturgical green. Summertime worship at Trinity is always a joy - the whole church family is together in one service. We hope to see you at 9am as we keep holy the Sabbath, are nourished by the Holy Meal, and strengthen our bonds of concern, joy, and love for one another.

Though Jesus was a devout Jew who practiced his faith, he was criticized for eating with tax collectors and sinners—the religiously nonobservant. Jesus criticizes the self-righteous and reminds us that mercy is to be at the heart of our religious practices. God continues to be made known in those on the margins of society, like Matthew the tax collector and the hemorrhaging woman. As we gather each Lord’s day we receive the healing that makes us well and sends us forth to be signs of God’s mercy for the world.

Please join us for worship as we observe our namesake, the Holy Trinity, on Sunday, May 31. We'll have one Service of Holy Communion at 9am.

Though the word Trinity is not found in the scriptures, Sunday's second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.

Please join us for worship on the Day of Pentecost, Sunday, May 24. We begin our summer worship schedule with one service at 9am. It's going to be both a doozy and a delight! We'll share in Holy Communion, have a baptism, and receive new members. The Handbell and Chancel Choir will be on hand for their last musical offerings of the season and we'll celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit, activated the newly baptized, our new members, and all of us, on this spirited and Spirit-filled Sunday!

Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we too are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world.

Please don't forget Mulch Day on this Saturday, beginning at 9am. Many hands make light work. If you're joining us for the 9am livestream, please find the link to the bulletin below. Have a great weekend and see you on Sunday!

05/15/2026

Please join us for worship on Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 17 - we'll have two services of Holy Communion this week, at 8 and 10:30am, with fellowship time at 9, and Sunday School and Adult Bible Study at 9:15. The 10:30 service will be livestreamed. This will be the last Sunday for Sunday School and for our two-service worship schedule.

In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather with the disciples in the upper room, waiting for the Spirit to transform the church around the world. In Sunday’s Gospel Jesus prays for his followers and for their mission in his name. Amid religious, social, and economic divisions, we seek the unity that Jesus had with his Father. Made one in baptism, we go forth to live our faith in the world, eager for the unity that God intends for the whole human family.

If you're joining us for the livestream, please find the bulletin below. Have a great weekend, Trinitarians of Hecktown, and we'll see you on Sunday!
