Regular Worship Services

We meet for worship every Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.  The early eucharist uses the traditional rite (page 230 of the Book of Alternative Services [BAS]) while the later one alternates this with the more contemporary rite (page 185 of the BAS).  On Thursdays there is a eucharist at 10:30 a.m.  There are many opportunities for getting involved in our worship - greeting, reading, serving, singing in the choir and leading the prayers.  As well as the important work of welcoming and fellowship in the coffee hour.

Our regular Sunday Services are:

8 a.m. Holy Eucharist
(using the Book of Alternative Services, traditional rite)

10 a.m. Choral Eucharist
(using the Book of Alternative Services, alternating between the traditional and contemporary services)

Sunday School for ages 5 to 14 and Nursery for younger children.

A Message to Newcomers and Visitors

If you are new to Holy Trinity, we want to say a special "Welcome." It is always a compliment to have newcomers join us for worship, whether you are new to the community or simply visiting "sunny White Rock."

We use two books in our worship. The Book of Alternative Services (B.A.S.) is the green book found in the pew racks as is for the said parts of the service. The large blue book is our hymn book, Common Praise, and contains the hymns we sing.

Large print hymn books are available at the main door from one of the sidespeople. Also available are headphones for those who have difficulty hearing the service.

A nursery is available for babies and toddlers, upstairs in the small lounge - where there is also a closed-circuit television so that parents can still follow the service.

Sunday School classes are available for children three years and older - please join in the fun!

Please join us for coffee and fellowship upstairs in our Parish Hall, immediately following the 10 o'clock service.
