Psalm 89:1-2, 8, 11-14 1 I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, for ever;

with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations. 2 I declare that your steadfast love is established for ever;

your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.

8 O Lord God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it—you have founded them.

12 The north and the south—you created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.

13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;

steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.

A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.

Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education

School Year Schedule - 9:00 & 10:35 Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes each week and pick them up promptly following worship. The Sign-in sheet is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall. This is particularly important after the 9 am service so our teachers can put away materials and set up for the 10:35 class. Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.

Adult Christian Education Sunday morning and Midweek opportunities are available; check the calendar or contact Robin Olschner (robino@tpcarvada.org) for details.
