SOLEMN HIGH MASS ON SUNDAYS AT 6 PM

As a broadening of our worship experience, Trinity celebrates a Solemn High Mass on Sunday evenings at 6 PM.

Solemn High Mass, or High Mass, are terms that refer to a fuller form of
ceremonial worship emphasizing the mystery of God that has been offered in the Church for almost 1,500 years.  The High Mass is a Eucharistic (communion) service in which the priest is assisted by a deacon, subdeacon, acolytes, a thurifer with incense, choir and various other lay ministers.

The liturgy is traditionally Anglican, and young adults, college students, and the youth of the church offer primary leadership.  The service is intended to reach those who prefer a rich, ceremonial offering, and those who are unable to attend Sunday morning worship such as health care workers, fire fighters, police officers, real estate agents and those away for the weekend. This service is designed for youth, college students at Haskell and KU, and others who wish to join us for worship of the triune God. Sermons and worship are focused on the intersection of the mystery of God with the daily needs and concerns of people and the world today.  There are also appropriate times of meditative silence, prayer, Bible readings and music.

Please contact Fr. Jensen if you would like to actively participate in the service or desire more information.  Participatory roles include readers, prayer intercessors, musicians, choir members, nursery workers, audio technicians to record sermons, acolytes, greeters, thurifers, subdeacons, chalice bearers, ushers and other ministries. Training will be provided for each of these leadership roles.

Please keep the Solemn High Mass and the people we reach in your prayers as we live out the Great Commission of Christ to "go and make disciples."   God is doing a great thing in and through Trinity Church in Lawrence.

Yours in Christ,
The Rev. Canon Jonathon Jensen
