On Sun., 9/13, we return to our worship schedule of 8 am, 10 am (also livestreamed), and 5 pm.
We are pleased to offer nursery care for little ones (age 4 and younger) during the morning services.
Our 10 am worship service will include the Blessing of the Backpacks. Children (and teachers) are invited to bring their backpacks to be blessed for the upcoming school year. Calling all grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles: please do take a tag (or several) to share a blessing with the young people in your life.
At 11:15 am, we will gather to take our Annual Parish Photo on Copley Square. The Community Picnic will follow on the Clarendon Lawn, with games and a barbecue feast!
Volunteers for set-up and clean-up are very welcome; extra hands always appreciated! Sign up at trinitychurchboston.org/picnic
At 10 am in worship a professional photographer will be taking pictures for our communications team. We ask for your understanding as we make room for their access in places and at times we would not customarily allow. We look forward to sharing widely the Good News of Trinity Church!

Forum Series: From these Stones
Sun., 9/20 & 9/27, 11:15 am, Lloyd Forum
Launching our 2026-2027 Program Year and anticipating our buildings’ 150th anniversary (on February 9, 2027), the Rector, the Rev. Morgan S. Allen, will introduce our theme and its roots in Matthew 3. On September 20, Morgan will offer scriptural, historical, and architectural context for our building, at the time of its creation and construction, and in the years since. On September 27, Morgan will consider what has come “from these stones” of Trinity Church in the previous centuries, and what God hopes we as a congregation might accomplish in our own day and during the next 150 years.
