Happy Thanksgiving!
Our Worship and Cathedral Office Schedule Surrounding the Thanksgiving Holiday
|
Today, Thanksgiving Day, we plan to offer the following virtual opportunities to connect with us for worship (all will be aired on our website and on Facebook):
- Morning Prayer at 7 am
- Sext at 12 pm
- Vespers at 5 pm
- Compline at 8 pm
Each of the above will be a short service that includes one or two hymns, a reading, a psalm, and prayers appropriate for the observance of Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving page on our website (trinitysc.org/thanksgiving) contains links to all of the offerings listed above. We hope you will join us virtually throughout Thanksgiving Day.
As a reminder, our offices are closed today, and will remain closed tomorrow, Friday, November 27, as well. Our in-person services will still be held as normally planned on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 29. The registration window has already closed as it was shifted earlier this week (to Monday through Wednesday) in order to accommodate our offices being closed today and tomorrow. However, you are always welcome to arrive for worship on Sunday and fill in any empty seats that are available if you weren't able to pre-register.
