| The lovely photo at the top of this week's edition was posted on Instagram on Wednesday morning by our friends at WhatsUpNewp. (Check out their website here) and was taken by fellow Instagramer, @michelecaram. Michele must have been up mighty early to catch this view, and we are so grateful for her sharing it with us. Do you have a beautiful photo of Trinity? Would you be willing to share it with the world? And, if so, would you be willing to let people know that it is your church, your spiritual home? What a great way to introduce folks to what is inside our stunningly beautiful building - their friends and family, people just like them who love and are loved by God. Today is a great day to tell somebody about Trinity. See you on Sunday!
Peace, Anne Marie+ The Rev. Canon Anne Marie Richards, Rector

Holy Week and Easter at Trinity
|
 Experience the service of Compline on the last Sunday of every month! Due to the enthusiastic response to our first two services, the Trinity Choir will be singing compline on the last Sunday of each month! The service of Compline stems from the earliest prayer traditions of the ancient church. Traditionally, it is the last of the daily monastic services, sung as a final prayer before going to sleep. This candlelit liturgy offers a rare opportunity for deep spiritual contemplation and meditation as we look towards the week ahead. Mark your calendar now and join us on Sunday, March 29 at 7:00 p.m. to experience this special service for yourself. |
| Thank You Corner 
Larry Pulice, Susan Millis, Joan Bartram, Brook Richards, and John Smith spent last Saturday at St. Luke's in East Greenwich participating in our Diocese's "Learn & Lead" day. We are so grateful to these leaders who invest time and energy in learning how best to serve our parish. Thanks for giving up your Saturday for Trinity's benefit! Our Bishop and his staff present some truly outstanding events - come along for the next one!
