Wednesday Healing Service at 12:00 noon
The noon service on Wednesdays is a special time. We begin the service as usual and read an Old Testament,
Psalm and Gospel reading from the lectionary for Lesser Feasts and Fasts. Fr. Cliff then reads the synopsis of the
life of the saint-for-the-day from the Book of Lesser Feasts and Fasts. Following this, we pray the Litany for
Healing. Fr. Cliff then invites those, who desire, to come forward for anointing and healing prayers. After this, we
conclude with the celebration of Holy Eucharist. We have many people who come to this service and find strength
and healing and peace.

Sunday Mornings at 10:30 a.m. in the Church
The second Sunday morning service at Holy Trinity - beginning at 10:30 a.m. - is a Rite II Eucharistic service (except
in Lent when we use Rite I). We have an organist and a small choir. The music is traditional Episcopal hymns from
the 1982 Hymnal plus more contemporary hymn (usually during communion) from a group of songs collected over
the years. We process into the church with a Crucifer, torch bearers, two Eucharistic ministers, a subdeacon (2007)
and the priest. Many people attending this service have just come from Christian Education which meets between the
two Sunday morning services from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Attendance at this service varies from 80 to 125 each
Sunday. Childcare is provided.
