The Altar Guild takes responsibility for ensuring that the vessels, vestments, service books and the chancel and sanctuary areas are properly prepared, laid out and cleaned before and after each service at Trinity. Members – women or men – who would like to participate in this ministry undergo a period of training with the chairperson and a mentor. |
 |
Trinity’s Choir is always ready to welcome more singers. The choir sings at the 10:00 am Holy Eucharist every Sunday and rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Singing in the choir involves a serious commitment of both time and talent. The choir also provides music for many special services at Trinity including some weddings and funerals. |
 |
The mission of Trinity Guild is to promote fellowship among the women of Trinity Episcopal Church and to provide support and service to the church and community. All women of the church are members of the guild and are encouraged to join in its fellowship and activities. |
 |
The Pastoral Care committee deals with ministries that reach individuals who have suffered loss, are in pain, anxiety, are lonely, or sick. Members provide pastoral visitation, counseling as appropriate, and communication with and for our sick and shut-in individuals. |
 |
The Fellowship Committee plans the ministries that enable us to gather for social activities: the Shrove Tuesday supper, picnics, athletic teams and activities such as bowling, planned outings, coffee hour and pot luck dinners. |
 |
The Outreach committee’s activities are detailed on a separate page on our website. |
 |
The Hospitality committee coordinates the ministries that invite and incorporate individual into the life and ministries of the church and Trinity parish. |
 |
The Worship committee works with Fr. Denny to plan and coordinate the liturgical ministries of the parish, including music, acolytes, altar guild, ushers, lectors, Lay Readers, Eucharistic Ministers and Visitors and the Children’s Chapel. |
 |
Christian Education also has a separate page on our website. |
 |
The Spiritual Nurture committee covers the ministries of prayer groups and prayer chains, healing and renewal. On the day of the Pentecost, Trinity Church is hosting a service of healing for the Southwest Deanery. The hope is that many Christians and seekers from other faith traditions will join in to participate in our healing and renewal experience as well as Episcopalians from other parishes in Pennsylvania and nearby Ohio. All are welcome. |
 |
The Stewardship committee deals with ministries that assist individuals in discerning God’s will in relationship to the use of their time, talent and treasure: Stewardship Education; Vocational Discernment, Every Member Canvas, Planned Giving, Ecological Concerns and Wellness. |
 |
The Property committee covers ministries which enable Trinity to provide spaces for worship and program and to maintain the fabric of our building in cooperation with the Vestry. |
 |
The Finance committee enables the people of God to wisely use our financial resources to enable the people of God in this place to carry out the mission and ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church as our faith community discerns them. |
Each of the Parish Ministry Committees welcomes interested members, old or new, to participate with them. |
