As Lent progresses we hear stories in which Jesus speaks openly and clearly about who he is, angering the religious authorities and leading inexorably to the events of Holy Week. This Sunday our Lenten Series on the Geography of the Bible takes us to Jerusalem, where all the pain and drama of Holy Week took place. Using photographs, maps, and conversation, Drew Smith will share his experience of being in the very place where the Passion Story took place. 

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

The Vestry will meet on Tuesday, March 21^st at 7 pm online only (Meeting ID: 857 1776 4576

Vestry meetings are open to any member of the parish. Members of the parish are especially invited to bring concerns and feedback to the Vestry during the “Feedback from Congregation” section of the meeting which begins at about 7:20/7:30. (The first 15-20 minutes of the meeting are a time of reflection and connection).

Members who choose to do so are welcome to come only to the beginning of the meeting to share concerns or are welcome to stay for the entire meeting. Please note that if there are conversations that are confidential in nature, visitors to the meeting will be asked to excuse themselves for that portion and then will be invited back in.

If you would like to contribute to the flowers and music for the 2023 Easter services in memory of, or in honor of, a friend or family member, or in celebration of a special event, please complete the form found here and submit to the office no later than Monday, April 3.

The Episcopal Church Women will hold their 142^nd Annual Meeting, Program and Luncheon on Thursday, May 4, 2023. The guest speaker is Chris George, Exe. Director of IRIS. If you are interested in more information, please contact Rev. D. or Barbara in the office.

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.
