And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in the prayers." (Acts 2:42)
A balanced parish life needs all those things that St. Luke mentions above in Acts 2:42... Apostolic doctrine, Holy Communion and communication with the Lord God in Prayer. Fellowship is also one of the great aspects of this commission.
Our life as a Parish sees our Parish as part of our home. It all begins with a vibrant worship; offered at various times and days throughout the week. We gather monthly in maintaining our grounds. Many of the men of the Church take part in this monthly ministry, offering their various talents toward the upkeep of the Parish property. Throughout the year, we hold various events. Our events consist of an annual Easter Party that includes great food, drink, live music and karaoke ; two Barbeques where we raise funds for various ministries of the Parish; Advent and Christmas Season events; Reformation Day where we offer live music and stations such as nailing theses on the door of the Church, and the favorite of “splat Satan” target with paint ball guns; our annual “bacon” themed Shrove Tuesday; our monthly men’s gathering known as Men’s Pipe Club on the last Friday of the month on the Church patio; Porch Pickers two Sunday afternoons a month where our musicians play on the patio or in the Parish Hall for all to enjoy; and Sunday afternoon porch time for all members that sometimes can carry to 3 PM. Overall, we have many aspects of our Parish Home life to offer for any that wants a spiritual home in Christ.

It has been mentioned by more than a few that the atmosphere of Holy Trinity is like that of a big, happy family. We place a high priority on care for one another. Those that have taken advantage of this have been greatly blessed by God in being "part of the family." One member has commented about the atmosphere after the Sunday service, "At some churches, people sprint home after the service... but here you almost have to kick them out for them to go home!"
