Update on Current COVID Protocols
as of Sunday, August 21
- At this time, only the Bread will be offered at Communion. Please remember that receiving Bread only imparts the full benefit of the Sacrament.
-
Masks at indoor services are strongly encouraged.
- We will continue to wear masks in the office in all common areas, and those who have private offices may request visitors to wear masks. Please be respectful of staff wishes.
As a reminder, there are various levels of comfort in our community with masking, handshakes, and hugging, so please be respectful of others whose decisions differ from your own.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and flexibility. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Rev. D. or a member of the Vestry.

Church by the Pond on August 20
Trinity's late summer opportunity to participate in this ministry led by Christ Church Cathedral is Saturday, August 20.
- We'll meet in the Trinity kitchen at 12:30 to prepare bag lunches, entering though the outside door to the kitchen.
- At 1:45 we'll bring those lunches to Bushnell Park, where we'll participate in the worship service by the pond, led by Rev. D.
- We'll distribute our lunches and personal care items following the service, and finish around 3:00.
All parishioners and families are welcome. Volunteers will observe mask and social distancing protocols while working in the Trinity kitchen, and are encouraged to do so at the park as well.
Please contact me if you have any questions, or to let me know you are planning to participate.
Penny Pearson, convener

A Note from
Covenant to Care
Dear Trinity congregants:
I am reaching out to once again thank you for your generosity and diligence in helping our mission. The backpacks that you filled for children in the care of DCF Hartford created happy faces amongst the Social Workers that have distributed them to families in need. It is the strength of commitment in the relationship to help carry on this mission, Christmas gifts and more that is the heart of our Adopt a Social Worker Program. We could never express in words what it means for these children to be equipped with supplies and backpacks to continue their educational journey.
With Blessings and Much Gratitude,
Catherine Haugh
Regional Coordinator
Adopt a Social Worker Program
Covenant to Care for Children

A message from our bishops:
Letter from the Lambeth Conference
Dear Companions in Christ in ECCT:
We write this letter on the closing day of our participation in the 15th Lambeth Conference meeting at the University of Kent in Canterbury, England. The Lambeth Conference is a gathering of the bishops from throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion called by the Archbishop of Canterbury approximately every ten years for the sharing of fellowship, Bible study, prayer, worship, consultation, and conversation. It was a blessing to participate in the Lambeth Conference as your bishops from the Episcopal Church in Connecticut. It was a particular gift that the Archbishop of Canterbury also extended an invitation to Bishop-elect Jeffrey Mello to join in the conference. Your bishops and bishop-elect thank God and thank you, the good people of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, for the privilege of attending the Lambeth Conference. Your prayerful support has sustained us over the last twelve days at the Lambeth Conference.
You will find the entire letter here.
