The Worship Team

The Deacons are excited to see worship pews filled, new faces coming on Sundays and lots of familiar faces celebrating God's love with us. We have prayed monthly for God to help lead us and talk about the place we are at in Trinity's History. We know that it is more important than ever to have realistic conversations about Trinity and it's future.

The love for Trinity Church, not just the building, but the people & its history are forefront in our minds. We know that change is part of growth, so for Trinity to grow and prosper, we need to continue to embrace all ideas to help us continue to fill our pews and church so we can share our love of God and his mission for us with others. 

Thank you to Jennifer MacNeil for her marketing efforts, the videos have been awesome and highlight our church- please like and share these videos on social media so the Northborough community and beyond can learn how wonderful and welcoming we are and what we are about and what we offer! 

Hello Trinity Community!

I hope the Summer Season is treating you well! The beautiful weather and flowering landscapes during this time of year will always be some of my favorite things about living in New England. As we enter into the warmest months of the year, the worship team plans to hold many of our weekly Sunday services in the downstairs Fellowship Hall. You can expect a more casual style of worship with hymns and praises accompanied by an electric keyboard, as well as some special music presentations scattered through the weeks. We encourage everyone to “come-as-you-are” and join us for worship and fellowship.

July also has a 5th Sunday, so it is time to prepare for the Hymn Sing Service on July 30! Keep a look out for the hymn suggestion forms to submit your favorite tunes for the line-up or you can send it via email.

I have scheduled a few volunteers to share their “gifts” during our Sunday morning services in the Summer months, but have more availability. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer or have a request for a unique presentation of “gifts”.

Until We Meet Again,
