Worship Book & Bulletin Options
Your patience is appreciated as we work through the process of updating our worship bulletins.
Worshippers have some book and bulletin options to consider:
Do you have a personal prayer book or hymnal at home? You're invited to bring your prayer book and/or hymnal to use in church. Please be sure your books are identified with your name.
You also can view the bulletin on your phone or tablet online
(there is free wi-fi in the church). Please turn off your device ringers and notifications during services, and ensure your devices are identified with your name.
If you are unable to attend church, you can view the service bulletin at home on your computer or other device and listen to sermon and forum podcasts online. If that happens, we will hope to see you the following week!

Big Read Exhibition
In a pictorial celebration of
Citizen, artwork by Brenda Tucker and Katrice Headd is on display through March 12 in the Promenade Gallery.
"Above all, I love color! Most of my work is figurative, and I focus on black people in ordinary or religious settings because the images we often see are European. Hopefully, it will cause the observer to experience joy and relaxation."
- Artist Brenda Tucker
NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
Music and Art at Trinity has partnered with the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning, one of the nonprofit organizations that received a grant to host an NEA Big Read project. The NEA presents NEA Big Read in partnership with Arts Midwest. Learn more at

Lent is the six-week period that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends the day before Easter Sunday. The season of Lent is seen as a time of solemn observance and preparation for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Lent Madness Is Coming!
What is Lent Madness? It's a fun, engaging way for everyone to learn about the men and women highlighted in the Church's Calendar of Saints during the season of Lent, which begins this year on March 6. Here's the format: 32 "saints" are placed into a single elimination tournament bracket. Biographical information about each saint is shared. People vote for their favorite saints on the Lent Madness website, or by using Facebook or Twitter. Things get more interesting in the later rounds - we find out a little more about the semifinal and final contenders - and ultimately, one saint earns the coveted Golden Halo.
Interested? Stop by the Lent Madness table in the Promenade on Sundays, February 24 and March 3 or 10. Contact Sally Lambert at 216-371-2168 or salambert25@gmail.com, or check out the Lent Madness website.

Messy Church
Sunday, March 31, during the 9 a.m. service
Messy Church is an entirely different worship experience.
Conversation, music and laughter flows freely in the Nave. Teenagers intently observe knitting needles tick-tick-tick as a new prayer shawl is being formed. A toddler and an empty-nester giggle, while making the same craft, side-by-side.
The theme for the lesson, activity, demonstration and crafts will focus on The Beatitudes. If you need a refresher, a beatitude is an expression of supreme blessedness. "The Beatitudes" is the title often used to describe eight blessings Jesus listed when he gave his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-11). We'll interact with these blessings through storytelling, movement, breaking of the bread, and making of the crafts.
