The Adult Christian Formation team cordially invites you to join us for our Lenten Series on the Geography of the Bible. So far we have “visited” through photos, maps, and conversation, the desert wilderness, the Hill Country, and the coast. Our guide has been Drew Smith, who has shared with us stories of his own adventures in the Holy Land and the knowledge he has gleaned over his visits there. This week we will be learning about the region of Galilee, a place we often hear about in our weekly Gospel readings.

Please join us in the Sanctuary after the 10 o’clock Eucharist!

Churches in the North Central Region of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut (ECCT) are once again invited to assist students of Capitol Community College in Hartford during Lent.

While many students are beneficiaries of SNAP vouchers, the vouchers don’t allow for the purchase of personal hygiene products. The items in greatest need are full size soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and feminine hygiene products. We're invited to collect one personal care item for each week in Lent to benefit these students.There are collection bags in the baptistery for those who wish to bring their items to the church, or items may be delivered directly to Christ Church Cathedral (Weds-Fri April 12-14, 9-12 or Sun April 16, 12-1).Volunteers will deliver the donations from Trinity.

An informational sheet from Cathedral Deacon Bonnie Matthews is available on the bulletin table in Goodwin Hall.

The Companions of the Holy Cross will have their annual Quiet Morning on Saturday, March 11th, from 9:00 am - 12:30 pm. We will gather out in Pomfret at Christ Church where the Rev. Sandra Cosman, a Companion, is rector. There will be several meditations followed by stations to visit, one, a labyrinth.

We will meet on Sunday, March 12th, at 4 pm for an information meeting about Companionship at Kate Smith’s house: 106 Vista Way, Bloomfield, tea and goodies will be provided. This will be a gathering in person, with a separate meeting on-line on a different date if necessary. We want to answer questions, give some info and simply have a time to be together. Let me know if you can make it.

On April 1st we will have a book discussion of The Church Cracked Open by Stephanie Spellars. Stephanie introduced the book at our Companion conference last June. New thoughts and ideas to ponder! This meeting will be hybrid and at Trinity.
