Worship
Worship is the heartbeat of Trinity Methodist Church. Generations of people have praised God for His blessings in good times and bad in our historic sanctuary.
Join us in person, or watch our services online, to share in our worship from the heart.
Members can also participate as:
- Greeters – Welcoming and directing guests
- Ushers – Collecting offerings and facilitating communion
- Acolytes – Opening and closing the service by lighting candles
- Liturgists – Helping lead worship by reading parts of the service
- Praise leaders – Leading congregational singing
Music
The Psalm writer urges us to “Serve the Lord with gladness, come before him with joyful singing.” Music is a powerful response to God’s grace. Join us at Trinity to share inspiring music in a variety of styles including traditional hymns, gospel, contemporary, and classical from our choir, guest performers and accompanists.
If you love making music, blend your talents with ours to praise Almighty God!
- Sanctuary Choir
- Soloists
- Instrumentalists
- Sound/video technicians
Music Leadership
Russell Saunders
Music is literally in Russell’s DNA… There was always music in his home, both sacred and secular. After starting piano at 4, he won two consecutive European competitions for 16-17 year olds in original music composition and orchestration. During college, he paid tuition by being the choir director for several churches, including Catholic, Presbyterian, and Baptist. Now, we believe the Lord has led him to Trinity and called him to bring people to worship through music.
Accompanists
Marilyn Manka
Marilyn is a third-generation pianist/organist who played for her first church service at age 10. Honoring God through music is a central part of her life. She has served several local churches as pianist/organist as well as directing choirs for adults, children and handbells. She is a skilled accompanist who wants the music she selects and performs to enhance the worship service and touch people’s hearts.
Kate Rogers
Kate Rogers accompanies our choir and congregation on harp on alternate weeks. With a degree in harp performance from the Curtis Institute of Music, Kate performed regularly at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
