Trinity
Old Swedes is a local community church. That means that our
identity is primarily focused on the community where we are located -
a small town in an area which until quite recently was one of the key
farming areas of our region, producing tomatoes, asparagus, peaches, blueberries,
pumpkins and many other fruits and vegetables for the tables of America.
However, the need for more housing in the Tri-State region has meant the
building of large new housing developments in our area.
Our congregation includes
members whose families have been in Swedesboro for many years, and members
who have recently moved into Woolwich and Logan. They represent the full
diversity of our region, drawing
from Swedish, Italian, Irish, African American, and English roots.
Our
worship is middle of the road. We emphasize good preaching
married with good liturgy. We follow the traditions of our Episcopal heritage
in the Book of Common Prayer, while working hard to make our worship accessible
to all ages and to both cradle-born Episcopalians and newcomers.
