This digital space provides us with a way to remain connected through prayer, even while you are feeling uncertain about COVID-19 and coming in to pray in person.

Remember, while fear and panic swirl around us, prayer keeps us connected to our calm center in Christ. Through the grace and mercy of God, we have access to healing power beyond anything we can expect or imagine. We’ll need lots of prayer in the days ahead, in order that we might retain the strength of community, anchor ourselves in peace, and turn toward the Holy One, who desires health and salvation for all of us.

We are open and join together in the sanctuary for prayer and gathering. If you still feel uncomfortable to gather for prayer in house please use the virtual spaces, including Facebook, YouTube, and Zoom. On Sundays, even if you will not be praying through Facebook or YouTube, I encourage you to contact the office; office@trinitylexington.org to have them send you the bulletin and pray along with us at 10am, or at another time of your own choosing.

Please visit this site periodically for more resources to support and sustain your emotional and spiritual health.

May you know the unshakable presence of God’s peace.
