Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Please Be Mindful
In this time of pandemic, with reduced foot and auto traffic in the Asylum Hill area, there has been an increase in the incidence of vandalism. We have experienced vandalism on our campus, and have learned that other area churches have also had damage done to their buildings and grounds. The police are as present in the neighborhood as they are able. If you need to be on the Trinity campus, it is important that you follow our protocols: let the Church Office know when you will be present, sign the log book when you enter the building (there's one at each entrance) and be mindful during your time on campus.

8 AM Morning Prayer in the Garden or the Nave
Morning Prayer is being said at 8 AM every Sunday, regardless of weather. As long as the weather remains fair, the service will be held in the Garden, but in the event of rain, and as the year turns, we will meet in the Nave. Social distancing protocols will apply in either space. There will continue to be no choral or hymn singing. Masks must be worn everywhere on our campus and in our buildings.
The 10 AM Morning Prayer service will continue online for the foreseeable future.

Assistance Available to Apply for Food Benefits
and Husky Medical Benefits
As more Connecticut businesses close, and without renewed federal pandemic relief from Washington, more and more people are unable to fund their basic living expenses. If because of the pandemic you have lost your job or had your hours cut, or if you are self-employed and your income has significantly decreased, and you are worried about buying food or paying for medical care, please contact Anne Rapkin at a.rapkin@snet.net or 860-521-5992. Anne, or a member of Trinity’s “public benefits team,” will work with you to:
(1) determine whether you may be eligible for SNAP (government financial assistance to purchase food) or HUSKY (government health insurance providing free medical coverage, including both prescription and over-the-counter drugs), and
(2) complete an online application for SNAP and HUSKY benefits.
Please note: Our conversations with you are COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL.

Last year at this time, we were busy collecting back-to-school supplies for Trinity Academy. A lot has changed in the past few months, so we won't collect backpacks and school supplies as we did last year.
But it is almost fall, and Trinity Academy will begin the school year remotely on August 31, and return to in-person classes on October 5. You can help Trinity Academy students continue their phenomenal growth and learning in this difficult time. Here are some of the ways you can help:
- School supplies are still needed, even though we can't put them in brand new backpacks. If you'd like to help with school supplies, you can send a check to Trinity Academy, 120 Sigourney Street, Hartford, 06105 and put "School Supplies" in the memo line. Or, go onto the Trinity Academy website - www.trinityday.org - and click on the Donate button.
- About 40% of Trinity Academy students live in families that experience food insecurity. You can send a check to Trinity Academy, 120 Sigourney Street, Hartford, 06105 and put "Food Security" in the memo line. The Academy's administration will purchase grocery store gift cards and get them to the families who need them.
Thank you for your generosity!
