What Makes Trinity Beautiful?


For Megan McNally -- parishioner, stewardship committee member, and art historian -- it’s the building and beyond. It’s the community we create, the gifts we share, and the lives we enrich together. Watch her testimonial from last Sunday's worship service in this short video.

This stewardship season, join Megan in making a pledge to our beloved spiritual home. As she notes in her testimonial, "what we do by our own hand still matters"—and together, we can make something beautiful. Make your pledge for 2027.

Forum: "They Lived Not Only in Ages Past ..."

Sun. 11/1, 11:15 am, Lloyd Forum


Following two recent Forum series of historical lectures tied to Trinity's upcoming 150th anniversary, this Sunday, our Forum hour will jump ahead a few decades! Join us for a brief exploration of the shift in our parish's financial and governance models from "proprietorship" to "stewardship," followed by facilitated small-group conversations about present-day stewardship inspired by the lectionary for the Feast of All Saints.

Community Breakfast This Sunday

Our November Community Breakfast needs YOU! Whatever your kitchen experience, it's perfect! We need a few folks to help us with food prep, serving, setting-up, and cleaning up. Join us on Saturday for food prep or join us on Sunday for heating, serving, and cleaning up the breakfast.

From the Historian: Artifacts in Shadow


"They are hard to see: tablets and plaques, hanging on the walls, most veiled by shadow much of the day. Some are made of white marble, pale sandstone, or slate. A few are metal, bronze, or brass. There are richly-colored marbles in red and green. Look closely. Some are simply decorated, just words. Most are ornate covered in imagery like pine boughs, oak leaves, and acorns, grape vines and a winged cherub or two. They were all given in memory of loved ones and to those who served the parish in some meaningful way."

Forum: The Election of 1876

Sun., 11/8, 11:15 am, Church & Livestreamed


Join us for a Forum with Dr. Dan Breen, Professor of the Practice of Legal Studies at Brandeis University. His book on the public monuments of Boston is due for publication in the Fall of 2027.


Only eleven years after Appomattox, the United States stood at the brink of another Civil War—this time, as the result of a bitterly contested election. How could the mess ever be straightened out? In this Forum, Dr. Breen will delve into the tumultuous Campaign of 1876, and into the still-controversial settlement that made Rutherford B. Hayes the nineteenth President of the United States.
