Resources
The Bible is the foundation of all Christian belief. The
Bible Gateway gives
access to several translations of the Bible into English and many
other languages.
Our Sunday readings at Trinity are taken from the New
Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible. This version, and
a few others are available online thanks to the
Oremus Bible Browser.
The Book of Common Prayer unites us as Episcopalians, providing
the form of worship for our services. As you prepare for
Confirmation, you need a copy of the Book of Common Prayer.
You can borrow one from Trinty.
You can also find an excellent, indexed,
Book of Common Prayer online, thanks to St. Gabriel's Episcopal
Church in Oakwood GA.
Orders for Daily Prayer are found in the
Book of Common Prayer.
Look for
- Morning Prayer on page 37 or 75,
- Noonday Prayer on page 103,
- Evening Prayer on page 61 or 115,
- Compline on page 127, or
- Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families on page 137.
Also,
the main Oremus page provides
a form of Daily Prayer.
