Worship
Trinity Church, Swarthmore welcomes all to participate in worship. In the Episcopal Church, all baptized Christians of whatever age are welcome to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Trinity believes all who seek God and are drawn to the way of Christ are welcome at the Lord's Table. We offer Sunday and mid-week services. Children are welcome at all services!
Our Sunday worship draws us more deeply into communion with God and one another through Holy Eucharist, in which we hear the Word of God, respond with prayer and thanksgiving, and enter into the sacrament of Holy Communion with God and one another. We currently have three services on Sundays, an 8:00 am, traditional language (Rite One) service, 9:15 am family service with contemporary-style music (guitar and piano), and an 11:00 am Rite Two Choral Eucharist with full choir. Families with children of any age are welcome at all Sunday services.
During the week, we gather for spiritual nurture at other times and in other ways, as well. Throughout the pandemic, several parishioners began to meet with our rector online for daily Morning Prayer, a service that continues today and is open to all via the website link. The Monday evening on-line Centering Prayer practices mindfulness in a Christian setting. The Wednesday, 12noon Holy Eucharist features a dialogical time for reflection and Holy Communion round the altar. On first Fridays of the month, Harry's Friends meet in the morning for fellowship, prayer, and pondering the upcoming Sunday's scriptures. In any and all of these ways, we invite you to join in seeking God and the love God yearns to give through Christ.
