Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
~~Collect for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Trinity Church Tour
What’s the oldest building on the Trinity Church campus? Where are the Trinity Academy classrooms? Why is there a picture of a station wagon on a stained glass window? You can learn the answer to these and many other questions by taking the Trinity Church Tour. This tour will be offered after the 10 am service on the first Sunday of most months, starting this Sunday, Oct. 3.
The tour route includes the Parish House, the Library, the Education Wing, the Choir Room, the Sacristy, the Choir Loft and the Tower Room. The narration covers the history of the buildings, interesting details about them, renovations that have been made to them, and how the different spaces are used today.
There’s no need to sign up ahead of time. The meeting point will be explained during the announcement time.

Please Join the Trinity Community for Racial Justice Hartford Mural Tour - October 10
On Sunday October 10 after the 10:00 service, we will have a “traveling” family forum visiting a selection of Hartford murals that celebrate the themes of racial justice as well as the contributions of BIPOC artists and citizens. We are inspired by an article in the Courant titled, Hartford, a City of Murals, but will focus on new murals since its publication as well.
We will gather in Goodwin Hall right after the conclusion of the service and provide guided directions, encouraging car pooling within Covid safety guidelines. Join us as we reflect together on selected works, ending with lunch at Parkville Market for all who care to join us.
The tour will last approximately one hour, and the rain date is October 17. If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Rowe or Heather Kramer.

Participate on Saturday, October 16 –
Church by the Pond/Feeding in the Park
Many of you are familiar with Trinity's decade long commitment to the Church by the Pond/Feeding in the Park ministry, coordinated by Christ Church Cathedral. Thanks to the generosity of many area faith communities, a worship service followed by distribution of lunches and personal care items is held every Saturday in Bushnell Park at 2PM.
Our next opportunity to serve in this ministry is Saturday, October 16.
- We'll meet in the Trinity kitchen at 12:30 to prepare bag lunches, entering though the outside door to the kitchen.
- At 1:45 we'll bring those lunches to Bushnell Park, where we'll participate in the worship service by the pond, led by Rev. D.
- We'll distribute our lunches and personal care items following the service, and finish around 3:00.
All parishioners and families are welcome, for as much of this time as you have available. Volunteers will observe the mask and social distancing protocols in place for in-person worship.
Please contact me if you have any questions, or if you are planning to participate, so that we can coordinate social distancing.

Email Spam Reminder
There have been spam emails purporting to be coming from Barbara Roos.
Please remember that no one on the staff will ever email or text you asking you to purchase gift cards, or to urgently email back but not call. If it’s urgent Rev. D will call you and will not request that you not call. An easy way to check the validity of an email is to check the ‘from’ email address. Any email from Trinity staff will end in @trinity.org. Finally, if there is any doubt, DO NOT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL. Instead, call or email the office.

D will monitor that email in order to support more effective email communication.
