With respect to the “proclamation of the word”, Trinity has an active and involved Worship Committee. The W/C is working with several other committees to support one of the great needs of Trinity, which is to maintain the active participation of current members and to attract new members. The W/C asks itself at every meeting: “what are we doing to nourish members, attract new members, and keep visitors coming back”. The committee has several priority items in this area that often overlap with the spiritual fellowship of the congregants. One item, which is now a year old, is to stress the importance of prayer. The W/C organized a Prayer Ministry and a monthly Prayer Calendar. Specifically, every Sunday, at least two Prayer Team members stand at the back of the church and are available to pray with or for someone. This fills the need for private or confidential prayer that the corporate prayer during the service does not provide. The Prayer Calendar is written and published on a monthly basis and includes daily prayers for the church, for the community and/or for world events. It is published in various church mediums and is posted on the church’s internet site. Another priority item involves including congregants more directly in the service through lay readers, offering of the Children’s Sermon, and/or making the announcements. The W/C tries to vary the service by ensuring that dance, music, dramatic readings, skits by the youth, and guest artists are welcomed and encouraged. The committee also instituted Lifting Spirits ministry, which provides rides to and from church. One long-term item that the committee is working on has to do with significant enhancements to Trinity’s technology. The church has added a visual component to the service through A/V equipment, but we are working toward a wireless system for the Praise Band and those with hearing challenges. We are also researching the expansion of our website/internet service, so that homebound congregants, as well as people from the community who are seeking a church home, can go to their computers and learn all about Trinity.
