Welcome to Sundays at Home
Good morning and welcome to Trinity! So glad you are tuning in virtually for today’s service. Each week you’ll find Sundays at Home with Trinity Episcopal Church. We feature the full service recording, as well as the sermon and anthem on their own.
In-person services are held at Trinity Church each Sunday at 8:00am, 10:30am, and 5:00pm with another at 12:00noon each Wednesday.
Once again, thank you for tuning in and for being faithful with your time, talents, and treasures.
Grace and Peace!

Music Notes
The Episcopal Church offers a diverse selection of hymns to its parishes. Our primary hymnal, The Hymnal 1982, offers 720 hymns in addition to liturgical music which is contained in the first part of the hymnal, those selections beginning with “S”. Some of these hymns date back to the earliest days of the church, and many are more modern. Supplements to the Hymnal 1982 include “Lift Every Voice and Sing II”, (1993) the red and black hymnal found in our pews which includes music from the African-American and Gospel traditions; Wonder, Love, and Praise, an eclectic collection of 200 hymns, songs, and service music published in 1997; and Voices Found, a collection of hymns and spiritual songs by, for, and about women dating from 2004. While these last two hymnals are not in our pews, we do have enough copies for the choir and we can download the contents as we need them.
This week, our Gospel hymn will be # 100 from Voices Found, “Be a shepherd for my flock”. The words are Traditional Nigerian and the music is by Jane McAllister Pope of North Carolina. Chosen to highlight the message of the Gospel lesson from John where Jesus tells Simon Peter to “feed my lambs”, “tend my sheep”, and “follow me”. Our music intern, Drew Young, will sing it for the anthem on the virtual service video.
The organ voluntaries this week are by British composers. Harold Darke (1888-1976), composer of “In Green Pastures”, presided at the organ of St. Michael’s, Cornhill, London for half a century. He is particularly known for his choral compositions. Kenneth Leighton composed “Fanfare” in 1996. Leighton taught at the University of Edinburgh from 1970 until his death in 1988. His compositions include church and choral music as well as pieces for many other instruments.
