29. Appendix Worship

Worship at Trinity is a joining of hearts in praise of our Triune God and in prayer for his whole creation. We draw strength and perspective from God’s table and his Word. Our liturgical life is grounded in the Book of Common Prayer and takes several forms.

We offer two worship opportunities on Sunday mornings. The 7:30 a.m. Eucharist service follows Rite I and is a spoken, contemplative service. The 10:00 a.m. service is Rite II and offers flexibility in the Prayers of the People, allowing for unique and relevant prayers. Service music includes chant and choral responses juxtaposed with traditional hymns from The Hymnal, 1982 and other more contemporary pieces. The adult choir seeks to illuminate the liturgy with psalm tones and weekly anthems. The choir’s repertoire is extensive, ranging from contemporary to gospel to high Anglican year, highlighted by evensong, Christmas Eve and Tudor. On special occasions, the children and Christmas Day services, and Holy Week services youth choirs also provide service music. including Stations of the Cross, the Triduum, A 9:30 a.m. service on Friday mornings, held in our including the Easter Vigil and glorious Easter Day Blessed Sacrament Chapel, offers a more intimate celebrations. setting for our worship.

4 Music

A significant part of worship at Trinity is our music. Trinity seeks to engage her parishioners in beautiful music that rightly ascribes to the Lord the glory due his name. Trinity’s affiliation with the Royal School of Music (RSCM) helps to define and support its musical mission. The motto of the RSCM is St. Paul’s declaration: “I will sing with the Spirit and I will sing with the mind also” — a declaration embraced by Trinity.

The musical life at Trinity Parish includes congregational participation, choral ensembles for all ages, instrumental offerings, community-related In Worship events, and a lending library of Anglican recordings. Our music, highlighted by our recently rebuilt Zimmer/Concord organ, is an important way we The music program at Trinity has been a unifying provide a spiritual environment for those who gather source of inspiration throughout the years and is in celebration of the love of God through worship. enthusiastically supported by parishioners of all ages.

7 Christian Formation

Youth Christian Formation

In 2014, in response to a need expressed by the What We Seek in a Rector parish, Trinity launched a new faith formation from Trinity’s Youth: program for youth. Parents and the congregation in general have been pleased with the resurgence of “I am looking for someone who can be more youth activities, expressing a strong interest in seeing engaging, but I don’t want ‘children’s sermons.’ this momentum continue. Currently, there are about Just make the Gospel more relevant and twenty youth participants (not including six nursery- interesting to us.” — Robert Beatty, age 14 aged children) in faith formation programming. “I’d like a rector who can help us have fun trips Sunday school runs from September to May.

This has led to giving “Safeguarding God’s Children” “Nice and caring.” — Xavier Madison, age 9 training for teachers and volunteers as needed.

Trinity also hosts Christ Club, a Wednesday night program consisting of dinner, Bible discussion, by clergy and volunteer teachers. In 2015, one youth and some free playtime. The club was initially celebrated confirmation and two others had their formed by high school youth with the aim to “first” communion. The youth are invited also to take empower teen leadership.

Sacramental preparation also takes place Cook-off,” and presenting a “prayer net” that reminds with communion and confirmation instruction given parishioners to pray for one another’s intentions.

Adult Christian Formation

Trinity has several formats of faith formation for adults, although the parish has expressed a desire to develop faith formation more.

Tea and Talk is a weekly group that meets between services on Sundays. The group varies its focus, often selecting books and articles to read and discuss and other times leaving the discussion open to topics of current and religious interests, engaging in a lively, perceptive, and spiritual conversation.

8 During the coffee hour after the 10 a.m. service, Trinity often holds an adult forum. Topics and presenters vary and have included Emeritus Rector Fr. Cory Randall’s series on the Old Testament, representatives from nonprofit organizations like Matthew 25 health clinic and Habitat for Humanity, and presentations from youth and other parishioners. Fr. Randall has also led a Bible study that meets on Fridays.

Trinity has also developed formation opportunities related to its labyrinth, using both an indoor cloth labyrinth and the new permanent outdoor labyrinth. There have been workshops, walks, and meditations with a special opportunity in 2016 for a workshop Trinity Labyrinth and facilitator training in partnership with Veriditas.

Trinity values: • Scripture, tradition, and reason as integrated elements that increase our knowledge and understanding and inform our Christian journey • Offering Christian formation opportunities for people of all ages

9 Outreach

Trinity’s Outreach Ministry organizes opportunities for Trinity to make a greater impact in its service by partnering with local not-for-profit ministries. Our main partners are Just Neighbors, an interfaith hospitality ministry that provides housing and employment services to homeless families; the Rising Stars program of Associated Churches of beyond annual pledge revenues. The idea of Trinity Fort Wayne, which serves students, parents, and partnering with other agencies has bloomed beyond teachers at schools; and Wellspring Social Services, the Outreach Committee. For instance, since 2014, an interfaith ministry serving low-income and women of the church have participated in Habitat elderly residents, most of whom live in or close to for Humanity’s Women’s Build project, and Trinity downtown (truly, Trinity’s neighbors).

St. Barbara’s Guild provides fellowship and educational opportunities for the women of Trinity. Daughters of the King is a ministry of prayer. Members invite others to join them for times of reflection, including use of Trinity’s labyrinth. The labyrinth is a ministry of its own. Located outside on the west lawn of the church, the labyrinth is enjoyed by many Trinity may never know as they walk its path for prayerful meditation.

We also value Parish Life activities that help us come together to celebrate each other for social fellowship with activities such as an annual chili cook off, a Christmas party, and a party that occurs the Friday before Ash Wednesday.

Trinity does not currently have a strategic plan in place. However, the Vestry and our rector have been engaging all ministries to help set direction and priorities for the parish. Strategic priorities for replacing the organ and improving accessibility grew out of a capital campaign discernment about five years ago. Our rector and Vestry have addressed these priorities as God has blessed Trinity with the resources to accomplish them.

In addition to the pledges of the congregation, the parish has several endowments that generate annual funds available for budgetary purposes, as well as funds for the occasional unanticipated expense. The aggregate value of the endowment funds is over $3,000,000.00.

Among Trinity’s memorable rectors was the Rev. George Bartlett Wood, a former Army chaplain who led the parish from 1947 to 1971. During his tenure the church constructed a new classroom and office building, completed in 1956, that included a full- sized gymnasium and two chapels. In 1962, under a third redecoration, Wood removed the rood screen and had installed an intricately carved reredos. During this Baby-Boom era the parish expanded in size, resulting in the creation of two new missions: St. Alban’s, founded in 1963, and St. Philip and St. the older style.

Now retired as Rector Emeritus, Randall and his wife returned to Fort Wayne and are members of the congregation. He often leads the Friday morning study group and occasionally the Adult Forum, teaching on Old Testament topics.

Randall’s successor, the Rev. Frank H. Moss III, built upon Randall’s legacy of reform. Services remained formal but were increasingly Broad Church in style. In 1992, Moss brought the first woman priest to serve Trinity, the Rev. Robin Thomas, to serve as Trinity’s curate. Under the leadership of precentor Wayne Peterson, who came to Trinity in 1987, the church’s musical offerings enjoyed local acclaim. Moss left in 1999 and later served churches in Massachusetts before eventually retiring to Oregon.

During the 1990s Trinity began to suffer a declining membership, as did many other mainline downtown Protestant churches. In 2001, the parish called the Rev. Rebecca Ferrell Nickel of Denver, Colorado. She

Healing earlier rifts, Hansen inaugurated a labyrinth ministry, eventually constructing a permanent one of stone on the church grounds. In 2010, the parish led a successful capital campaign to replace its aging boiler and cooling system. It later received several large bequests to refurbish its organ and build a new handicap-accessible entrance and carport on its western side. As a downtown parish, the church has become involved in a variety of outreach ministries. Traditional liturgical music and hymns, expertly presented by its choir, remain a strong part of the parish DNA, and Peterson, who has served nearly 30 years as precentor, regularly leads the parish in a variety of special concerts and events. As retired Bishop Edward S. Little has commented, “Trinity is very Cathedralesque.” Hansen announced his retirement at the end of 2016, though he plans to remain in Fort Wayne and stay active in the diocese. became the first woman to lead a large downtown He has said that he leaves knowing the parish is in congregation.

She has since moved to the Diocese of Indianapolis, where she is still an active priest.

Trinity’s restoration in 1977 included anchoring the roof properly to the building and stripping and refinishing its rafters. In 1985, the nave was painted in neutral colors.
