The Worship Team

The Deacon's continue to meet monthly and have been having open and honest discussions around Trinity's future. With the search committee in full swing, we want to make sure that we have clarity on what Trinity's future plans are. Many topics that we are talking about are around the building, the growth of the congregation, and the longevity of both.  

We encourage all of you to have open communication with any of the Deacon's to discuss your thoughts on how you see Trinity Church in the future. We know it will take our whole village to thrive in the future, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me at lornahelms1@gmail.com or call me

(508) 596-1776 to share. 

We have so much light and love to give to the Northborough community and the greater world by sharing the word of God and continuing to Love Louder! We will continue to pray for God's guidance as we look towards 2024 and beyond! 

Until We Meet Again,

Scott Arnold (he/him)

Music Director of 

Trinity Church of Northborough
