Ingathering Sunday is OCTOBER 15!

If you made your pledge on-line, you can pick up a card that says “I made my pledge on-line” (see below) and bring it up when we gather the pledges. Cards will be next to the bulletins in the front and back of the church.

You can also make your pledge at www.trinityhartford.org/2024pledge 

Every pledge is important to the continued life of this parish.

Thank you for supporting Trinity Church.

What’s up in our Godly Play room?

This month we look forward to experience and work with the following stories (not necessarily in order):

The Parable of the Great Pearl, Story of Congressman John Lewis, The Exodus, and St Elizabeth of Portugal.

Our next Godly Play class will take place on Sunday, October 15. We welcome all children 3 yrs and older into our sacred space(upstairs in the Education building) at 9:45 am and rejoin our families at about 10:40 am.

Please find the Bishops' Statement on the Holy Land here.

Vestry Meeting

The Vestry will meet on Tuesday, October 17th at

7 pm in the library.

Vestry meetings are open to any member of the parish. Members of the parish are especially invited to bring concerns and feedback to the Vestry during the “Feedback from Congregation” section of the meeting which begins at about 7:20/7:30. (The first 15-20 minutes of the meeting are a time of reflection and connection).

Members who choose to do so are welcome to come only to the beginning of the meeting to share concerns, or are welcome to stay for the entire meeting. Please note that if there are conversations that are confidential in nature, visitors to the meeting will be asked to excuse themselves for that portion and then will be invited back in.

Fall Grounds Work Day

It is the time of year to clean-up Trinity’s gardens and lawns in preparation for winter. The Property Team has designated Saturday, October 21 from 9:00 a.m. to noon as the first of three fall workdays.

(The others are Saturday, November 18 and Saturday, December 9.) Bring your favorite tools and gloves and a friend. Lots of volunteers are needed to cover all of the grounds. Contact Peter Green at 860-236-1457 or pmgreen76@gmail.com with any questions.

Church by the Pond – Save the Date: October 21

Trinity's next opportunity to participate in this ministry led by Christ Church Cathedral is Saturday, October 21. 

• 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. Volunteers will observe the mask and social distancing protocols in effect at the time for in-person worship. 

Please contact me if you have any questions, or to let me know you are planning to participate.
