Upcoming Events:
Meditation Haven with Music During Lent
Each Wednesday during Lent, beginning Ash Wednesday, February 18, from 12:30 to 1:00 pm, our Sanctuary will become a quiet peaceful haven of self-reflection. This is a time for personal meditation, not a structured or led service. It allows individuals to engage in their own spiritual journey.
A sheet with appropriate Scripture will be available on the table as you enter, to guide your reflection. We practice silence - no talking, during this time. Gentle, meditative music will be provided by Trinity's organist, Pauline Olsen, with some contributions from other musicians.
With reverent music in the background, this is an opportunity to prepare your heart for Our Lord’s Passion and Resurrection.
Visiting Choirs Concert March 16
Two choirs from Bonneville High School in Idaho Falls will visit Trinity on Monday, March 16, for a workshop with Trinity's Choral Director, Dr. Jerome Wright followed by a concert at 5pm in our Sanctuary. Our own Trinity Choir will join Bel Cantos (treble choir) and Bonnevaires (mixed choir) for the concert's finale. The concert is early - 5PM, and a freewill offering will be gratefully accepted. Dr. Wright has worked with these groups before, and says they are really excellent, as is their conductor, Mr. Steven Dresen.
