Return of Formation for All Ages This Sunday
Grateful Hearts, Gracious Lives Forum Series
Begins Sundays, 9/14 through 10/5, 11:15 am, Lloyd Forum
As we begin our year of “Grateful Hearts, Gracious Lives,” join Morgan and Brandon for a four-part series overviewing grace: the faithful virtue; and graciousness: the ethical practice. We will approach these ideas from our Anglican perspectives of scripture, tradition, and reason, as well as contemporary resources in popular culture. This Sunday, Morgan will define the terms and explore the implications of each.

With a grateful heart, I write to share that September 25 will be Katrina Leslie’s last day as our Minister for Youth and Young Adults. Two years ago, Katrina joined the Trinity Church staff and since then has fostered a thriving youth and young adult community among us.
With her kindness and creativity, Katrina built teams of teachers and mentors in this short time, equipping and empowering the youth and young adults for leadership. Katrina has joyfully created community for our tweens, teens, and 20s and 30s.
We are deeply grateful for all of her care, compassion, time, energy, planning, and presence at weekly events and special programming from youth lock-ins and retreats, to chorister chaperone-ing and acolyte training, Young Adult book clubs and service opportunities. Katrina met each person right where they were as beloved children of God – thank you, Katrina!
Making time for her several constituencies, we are hosting several farewell gatherings:
- for the youth, on Sunday, September 21, 11:15-12 noon in LLA;
- for the Choristers, on Wednesday, September 24, at 6 pm in the Parish House;
- and for our 20s and 30s, on September 25, at 6 pm in the Ferris Library.
We are already at work to hire an Interim Minister of Youth and Young Adult Ministry in the short term and, working closely with our steering committees, start a search for our next Minister for Youth and Young Adults this winter.

Dear Friends of Trinity Church Boston,
It is bittersweet to write to you all today sharing that my two-year commitment at Trinity Church Boston has come to an end. While I would love to stay on longer, I am feeling a call from God to move closer to family to begin a new chapter.

New: Tuesday Communion Services
Tuesdays, 12:15 pm, Chancel
Join parish family, neighbors, and passers-by for an intimate celebration of the Holy Eucharist on Tuesdays at 12:15 pm. With the congregation gathered in the chancel (where the choir customarily sits) and the first rows of the nave, we will share a liturgy with readings, preaching, music, and Communion – services are purposefully kept to a half-hour for those joining during a workday’s lunch hour. Following our prayers, Visitor Services will open for tours.

Ongoing: Made with Love
On occasion we all need to be handed a little incarnate love; our Made With Love Ministry does exactly that, but with baked goods and soup! MWL Team members provide baked goods and soups/ stews/ chilis for our Pastoral Visiting teams and Clergy to bring on visits or share with parishioners who could use the occasional easy meal, crafted by other parishioners. Do you enjoy cooking and sharing? We would love to have you as part of this ministry! Email the Rev. Kit Lonergan for more information and to get on our email list.
