Update on Current COVID Protocols

  • We are offering wine and grape juice by intinction only. Please remember that if you wish not to receive wine, 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.

Condolences

The prayers of Trinity Church are with Walton Brown-Foster and her family in the deaths of her brother-in-law, Dr. Lamont Foster Jr. PhD/D.Div. and her cousin, Dr. Marcia Davis PhD, who both recently passed into eternal life.
 


Father of all, we pray to you for Lamont and Marcia, and for all those whom we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
~~Book of Common Prayer
Calling all creatures great (but not too big!) and small to join us on Saturday, October 8th at 5:00 pm for the Blessing of the Animals.
 
Join us for this short prayer service where we will give thanks for the blessings that our pets are in our lives and pray God’s blessing on them. If you have a pet that died in the past year, you are invited to bring a picture of that pet and honor them during the service. For the safety of all creatures gathered, pets should be appropriately leashed or contained.
 
Even if you don’t have a pet to be blessed, you are invited to join the celebration of all of God’s creatures.

Saturday, October 8th
at 5:00 PM 
Please note new time for service.

Come wonder with us in our Godly Play class.

Godly Play Is Now Practiced In 66 Countries!
 
  • Godly Play begins with children’s innate sense of the presence of God.
  • It offers ways to create safe space and build community as we get inside the sacred stories of God and God’s people.
  • We wonder through our thoughts and our hands as we discover new meaning together.
  • Although the focus begins with children, it is also being used successfully with adults and older children.
  •  
All three years old or older are welcomed into our classroom at 9:45, and join the congregation about 10:40.
 
Come learn and wonder about:
October 9 ~ The Flood And The Ark
 “I Wonder What Part Of The Story You Like Best?”
 
October 16 ~ Mother Teresa Of Calcutta
“I Wonder What Part Of The Story Is About You Or Where You Might Be In The Story?”
 
October 16 ~ Abraham
“I Wonder If We Could Leave Any Of The Story Out And Still Have All That We Need?”


The Church Office and Buildings will be closed on Monday, 10 October, in observance of Indigenous Peoples Day.

CONCORA will present
a concert of Bach’s Six Motets on
Saturday, October 29 at 3pm
at Trinity Episcopal Church.
 
Although J.S. Bach wrote nearly 300 cantatas and several important concert-length choral works, he composed only six motets. Major pieces in the choral repertoire, the motets are highly complex, demanding for the singer but joyous for the listener. A concert of all six motets requires the artistic mastery of CONCORA’s professional singers.
 
For a preview of the music, concert details, tickets, visit www.concora.org. The web site also features recorded talks from CONCORA’s artistic director Chris Shepard about each of the motets.  
Trinity Book Group –
October Meeting
 When We Were Orphans, by Nobel prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, is Trinity Book Group's next selection. Set in China, it's a suspenseful and psychologically acute novel, offering a meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one's past.

Book Group will meet Friday, November 4th, 7 - 9 pm, at the home of Anne Rapkin. All are welcome to attend, whether as a one-time event, or regularly. Please let Anne know if you plan to attend.(anne.rapkin@gmail.com)
Special Prayer Request
