Before the kitchen timers start beeping and the Thanksgiving Day rush begins, take one peaceful evening to pause, breathe, and give thanks.
On Wednesday, November 25 at 6:30 PM, we invite you, your family, and your neighbors to join us at Trinity Lutheran Church in Temecula for our annual Thanksgiving Eve Service. Whether Trinity has been your church home for decades or you are visiting our campus for the very first time, there is a warm seat waiting for you.
What to Expect on Thanksgiving Eve
We know visiting a church—especially around the holidays—can bring up a few questions. Here is how we have planned the evening with your whole family in mind:
Uplifting, Traditional Worship: Experience time-honored Thanksgiving hymns, Holy Communion, and an encouraging message of hope centered on God’s faithfulness.
Kids Are Welcome in Worship: Families belong together! Children of all ages are warmly invited into the sanctuary. We will start the evening with a special Children’s Message just for them, and we have activity bags ready at the doors to keep little hands happy.
Respectful of Your Holiday Schedule: The service lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get home and rest up for Thursday’s feast.
Come As You Are: Wear whatever feels comfortable—from cozy autumn sweaters to casual jeans.
Stay for "Slices of Gratitude" on the Patio
The fellowship doesn't end after the final blessing! Immediately following worship, step outside onto our patio for our Slices of Gratitude Pie Social. We are serving up a delicious variety of fresh holiday pies—our gift to you—so longtime members and first-time guests can relax, mingle, and kick off the holiday weekend together.
Add Your Blessing to Our Community Gratitude Wall
Before we gather in person on November 25, you can already become part of our Thanksgiving celebration! We are building a digital tapestry of thankfulness featuring notes from our congregation and neighbors across the Temecula Valley.
Whether you want to share your name or post anonymously, take 30 seconds to add a brief word of thanks for something God has done in your life this year.
