In Memory of Robin Turpin


For those of you who knew Robin well, you may not be surprised that she didn’t want folks to make a fuss about her – even though she deserved a fuss! She was adamant about not having a separate funeral service just for her. Her family is respecting those wishes so there will be no separate service for her. However, as Christians we are a people of prayer. To remember Robin, we added in some prayers during the Holy Eucharist on Sunday, May 25th in her honor.


Additionally, her family will also be hosting a lunch in her honor at The Greenhouse (511 Spielman Hwy, Burlington, CT) on Sunday, June 8th at 4pm, to which members of Trinity and friends are welcome to come. If you plan to attend this luncheon, please RSVP to Melanie at the Trinity office (860) 482-6027, so her family knows how many to expect.

 

If you have not seen it already, her obituary is published here, along with the chance to leave a written memorial note.

Can white people celebrate Juneteeth?

Juneteenth is an important date in American history!


We can all celebrate freedom and continue striving to achieve our democratic ideal of equality.


To learn more about Juneteenth, click here.

We need some volunteers to assist at the Juneteenth celebration at Trinity on June 19 at 2:30pm - basically welcoming and directing people.


Please contact Conrad if you can assist.

The Rev. Kevin Olds, Diocesan Canon for Congregations and Transitions, will be our celebrant and preacher on Sunday, 13 July 2025. He will lead a Parish-wide meeting during coffee hour after the service to which all are invited to attend.


We hope that you will join us to hear what the next transitions steps will be, what to expect and what not to expect as we search for Trinity’s next Priest in Charge.


We hope to see you there!
