Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Trinity Church Tour – Sunday after the 10:00 AM service
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 today!
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.
No need to sign up ahead of time. The meeting point will be explained during the announcement time.

“How Firm a Foundation”
The Upcoming Annual Appeal Will Be Two Appeals In One
The materials for this year’s stewardship campaign were mailed at the end of last week and will include a response card with spaces for you to enter two different pledges.
- One space will be for the amount you plan to give in 2022 for the normal support of Trinity Church and its mission in Hartford and the world. This is the equivalent of your normal annual pledge to the church.
- The other space will be for the amount, if applicable and not already pledged by you, that you would like to pledge in 2022 for The Campaign for Trinity – the three-year capital campaign to repair and update our buildings.
This will be the final year of the Campaign for Trinity – although we’re considering providing an opportunity in future years for contributions specifically to building maintenance.
Please start now to consider what you could give in the coming year to support both the life of Trinity Church and the home of Trinity Church.
You may choose to mail your pledge back to the church office at 120 Sigourney Street, Hartford, CT 06105 or bring your pledge card with you on Sunday for In-gathering. Thank you!

Trinity Book Group
The next meeting of Trinity's Book Group will take place in the Trinity Library on Friday, Nov. 5th, 7:00-9:00 pm.
The Group is open to all Trinity folks, whether they attend once or regularly. All are welcome! The book to be discussed is Anxious People by Fredrik Backman which, despite its title, is a comedy. It's available at Amazon and other booksellers, and libraries. Masks will be worn, except when partaking of the refreshments. No need to RSVP. Come and join in the fellowship, the discussion, and the laughter!

SAVE THE DATE
Sunday, November 14 and November 21: Housing Discrimination in Connecticut
Did you know that Connecticut has a long history of carefully and intentionally “designed” racial segregation in housing? On November 14 and November 21, Erin Boggs of the Open Communities Alliance will help us understand how we got to where we are, and share some ideas about how we can make housing opportunities more open to all.
Plan to join us for this two-part forum.
