Missed church because of bad weather or oversleeping or being out of town? You can still be part of the worship experience in a small way with our virtual worship service! Take about 15-20 minutes and be in a spirit of prayer and worship.

WE GATHER IN GOD'S PRESENCE
Take some time to quiet your thoughts and focus on God's presence with you.

OPENING PRAYER:
In the infinity of the skies, in the free flashing of lightning
in the whirling elemental winds, you are God.
In the impenetrable mists of dark clouds, in the wild gusts of lashing rain
in the ageless rocks of the sea, you are God and I bless you.
You are in all things and contained by no thing.
You are the Life of all life and beyond every name.
You are God and in the eternal mystery I praise you.

HYMN: If you're in a singing mood, Hymnsite has lyrics and music files for many Hymns in the United Methodist Hymnal.

SHARING OUR JOYS AND CONCERNS
Navigate over to our Joys and Concerns page to lift up members of the Trinity community in prayer, and spend a few moments reflecting on what you would celebrate and pray for. You may wish to close by talking to God the way you would to a friend, or saying the Lord's Prayer.

SCRIPTURE READING AND MESSAGE
At Becca's sermon blog, you can access the most recent sermon as a sound file. We recommend that you read the scriptural passage (a link is provided after the sermon description) and listen at your leisure to the recorded sermon.

REFLECTION
What spoke to you in the scripture reading today? In the message? In your time of prayer? What might The Holy be calling you to?
For further prayer resources, try some contempletive or centering prayer, lectio divina (some history here), or a virtual labyrinth.

BLESSING:
May the life-giving Creator bless you and hold you close.
May the face of Christ the Redeemer shine on you with abundant grace. 
May the presence of the Sustaining Spirit surround you, that you may know deep peace.

Nothing can take the place of being together in community! We hope to see you next Sunday for worship and fellowship together.
