Abounding Worship on Sept. 20

Rev. Rich Rubietta will be bringing lively music and an inspiring message to Trinity on Sept. 20.  He is a modern-day circuit rider and Conference Evangelist for the United Methodist Church.  

Rich is a “Musician-ary,” helping congregations redevelop and rediscover their voice in worship. Whereas Rich served congregations as a pastor for 14 years (Freeport, Morris, Joliet and Grayslake), he now views the General Conference as his congregation, much like the early circuit riders.

With a Music Degree from Northwestern University and an M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Rich is fueled by a vision of youth and adults leading Spirit-inspired worship together in United Methodist Churches.

A modern-day circuit rider and evangelist appointed to "Abounding Ministries," Rich and his wife Jane crisscross the Midwest each week, introducing creative uses of music in worship, school assemblies, workshops, youth events, and retreats.

As a Conference Evangelist, Rich does not receive a salary.  Instead, he depends on generous support from congregations.  To make a gift, make checks payable to Trinity Church with a memo of “Abounding Ministries.”

Here's a link to one of Rich's original songs he will be leading: "The River Is Here."
