CAPITAL CAMPAIGN KICKOFF BEGINS!!!

The Capital Campaign Executive Team has been hard at work preparing to launch the $500,000 campaign that will help Restore and Renew our 180-year-old building.

The Team will be commissioned at Trinity’s July 12 worship service, which will be followed by a potluck lunch to celebrate the opening of the campaign.

More information about the capital projects and ways in which church members can contribute and otherwise help with the campaign will be forthcoming throughout the summer.

The campaign will culminate on Celebration Sunday, September 20, with a luncheon to celebrate its success and Rejoice!

YOU'RE INVITED TO OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

KICKOFF POTLUCK LUNCHEON!

Sunday, July 12, 2026

following Worship Service in Fellowship Hall

Join us a fun & festive gathering of church family and Trinity supporters to celebrate this important fundraising effort.

It's a chance to share the campaign's goals and vision while enjoying dishes brought by attendees, symbolizing unity.

Organizers will provide key details about the campaign. The luncheon starts the campaign on a positive and welcoming note!

Hello Trinity Community!

I hope the Summer Season is treating you well! The beautiful weather and blooming landscapes during this time of year are some of my favorite things about living in New England. As we enter into the warmest months of the year, the worship team plans to hold our weekly Sunday services in the downstairs Fellowship Hall for July and August.

You can expect a more casual style of worship with hymns and praises accompanied by an electric keyboard, as well as some special music presentations scattered through the weeks. We encourage everyone to “come-as-you-are” and join us for worship and fellowship.

Because the Summer months are considered “ordinary times” for our liturgical year, the themes for worship will vary from week to week. Special Music, and worship themes are still being selected. If you have any requests or want to be involved with a service, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

For our Fellowship Hall services, we will not be using any slideshow projections. This will make it difficult for us to include new music; therefore, I am opting to not select a new song for our Song of the Month.

Instead, we will be opening our service with a short anthem from our Chalice Hymnal (“In the Name of the Lord” - #28). You can hear an example of how we will sing it HERE, but if you want a real treat, you should take 5 minutes and listen to Sandi Patty sing her original version HERE.

I want to give a special thanks to Pam Jones for filling in for me and supporting the music for worship in my absence and for sharing your piano skills with our congregation. On July 19th, will be away again, but cannot yet announce the plan for how the music will be supported. If we host another substitute, I know you will be the amazing welcoming community you always are.

Thank you for your continued support of our music ministry and for helping make worship meaningful each week. I hope you enjoy a season of rest, renewal, and connection, and I look forward to worshiping with you throughout the summer. 

Until We Meet Again,

Scott Arnold (he/him)

Trinity Church of Northborough

In August, we will continue to meet for Worship in Fellowship Hall. 

We will not be streaming on Facebook.

Support the LGBTQ+ Community

Please join us for Pride Festival 2026 on Worcester Common on Saturday, September 12 from 2:00-7:00PM. There will be over 100 booths

and a music stage.

We will have a booth with give-a-ways and publicity to highlight Trinity Church. Last year, I spoke to several people from social service agencies providing various services to the community. There were also food trucks and crafters.

The atmosphere was very positive! If you would like to help out at the booth or need a ride please let me know.
