Below you will find some Testimonials from our parishioners about what first brought them to Trinity, why they decided to make Trinity their spiritual home, or what they love most about our Trinity family.
Deanna and Norb Birchmeier
During
the summer of 1999, having made plans to be married in the fall of
2000, we began to search for a place the two of us as well as Deanna’s
two young children could worship. Both of us felt that a relationship
with God was important in making our new family successful and happy.
We had both grown up in the Roman Catholic Church, now we were both
divorced and not comfortable with the thought of returning to the
Catholic Church. Through the internet we researched different
religions, we became intrigued with the Episcopal philosophy. It
appeared to be closely related to the Roman Catholic beliefs and
sacraments we were accustomed to. Local listings led us to Trinity
Episcopal Church, Flushing.
Trinity is a small church, showing
up for the first time on Sunday morning does not go unnoticed. We were
immediately welcomed! We found the service to be similar to the
Catholic service we were accustomed to. Although Trinity appeared to be
a community of long time members and not as many youth as we had
wished, it was a friendly feeling of belonging from a personal and
spiritual perspective.
Trinity Episcopal Church
allows us to participate in the traditional religious experience while
allowing one to feel welcomed as a family member. The Congregation
provides living examples to both us and our children of what God,
church and warm fellowship is all about. Even our children comment on
the friendliness of all and their desire to share the experience with
other youth. In short, we have grown to love our Trinity family.
Involvement within the Trinity community is what you make it. If you
wish to utilize your time and talents in serving the Lord the
opportunity is certainly available to you. Should that not be "your cup
of tea" we certainly understand, honor and respect those feelings.
Should
you decide to come and experience the celebration of the Eucharist with
us some Sunday morning, please be sure to take the time to talk with
the Members. Stay and introduce yourself and your family at coffee
hour. Let us know what your needs and expectations may be. We did, and
we are very happy that we did!
