If you like the use of the piano in worship, if you like a quiet, contemplative service, if you appreciate candles and incense, if your spirit seeks some spiritual nourishment, we hope you will come to the Contemplative Eucharist in the Style of Taize. The liturgy includes some simple repeated chants, and a generous period of silence. We appreciate Andrew Fredel coordinating these monthly services.

An existing meditation group will begin meeting at Holy Trinity every Monday at 7:00 p.m. beginning March 7. Holy Trinity members and friends are welcome! You are welcome as a beginner or as an experienced meditator trained in a specific method. Meditation brings a greater sense of peace, equanimity and physical health. The group uses the teachings of Buddhist writers to enhance an understanding of meditation, but there is no expressed requirement that you espouse any particular method, belief or faith tradition. They borrow liberally from them all in an attempt to enhance our own ability to navigate life through spirituality. Try the group out and see where it takes you with a meditation practice. The 90 minute session includes a check-in, two meditation periods, and a short teaching. If you prefer to sit on the floor for meditation, please bring your own cushion, blanket, yoga mat or foam blocks-
-whatever it is that makes you most comfortable when you sit. There are folding chairs there for those who prefer to sit in a chair. This is a drop-in group and you can attend as you are able. For more information, and to RSVP through the website for each session, click here  

Two Young Adult Lenten Groups 

This Lent Holy Trinity is offering two discussion groups especially for young adults in their 20's and 30's.
1. BIBLE AND LIFE: Tuesday evenings
Does the Bible contradict itself?  Why did only these gospels make the cut?  Did Paul really say that?? This Bible study will examine how we read scripture and use it in our everyday lives.  We will look at our sacred texts with both critical and faithful eyes.  We will discuss the broad biblical canon as well as specific texts.  Bring your tough questions and be ready for challenging answers. This group will have its first meeting in the St. Mark's Room at church and will subsequently meet weekly in participants' homes during Lent. Leader: Seminarian Cuttino Alexander. First meeting: Tuesday, March 15, 7:00 p.m. 

2. BOOK DISCUSSION ON REDISCOVERING VALUES: Sundays at noon

Read and discuss Holy Trinity's book for Lent, Rediscovering Values. We will meet Sundays after church beginning March 13. We will discuss meal options at the first gathering. Led by Seminarian Steven Dickens.

Sign-up for either group at the back of the church or here.  

The music at Holy Trinity is inspiring and beautiful not only on festivals and at special musical events, but at every liturgy. Though our operating budget includes funding for choir music, instrument maintenance, and contract musicians, it does not cover the costs of our annual music program and special music series. Help support this important ministry of music with which we are so blessed! Write a check to Holy Trinity with "Music Series" on the memo line, or give online now. Special music events this year:

• Bach Cantatas in worship (likely March and October)
• Brass quartet at both Easter services
• Vocal recital by Dr. Steven Lancaster (teacher of vocal studies at Notre Dame)
• Annual Advent Lessons and Carols

After five months of conversations and listening, see the results of our hard work! Read through our Purpose Statement, Guiding Principles, and Strategic Directives here.
