Sunday, September 10

A Liturgy Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Lives

We come together in this inaugural ECCT-sponsored service to honor and affirm the diversity of God’s beloved creation as embodied by LGBTQIA+ lives.

Join Bishop Mello as we offer praise and thanksgiving for our LGBTQIA+ neighbors, repent of the times we have collectively failed to honor the gifts offered us by this community and its individual members, and pray for openness and courage to walk together toward more full inclusion in both the church and public square.

Rev. D will preach at this service.

Chaplains will be available during and after the service for listening and prayer.

Parking will be validated for those parking in the MAT Garage.

2024 Calendar Sharing

Over the next several weeks, perhaps you are receiving more 2024 calendars than you can use? Or do you need a 2024 calendar? Trinity is the place for you!

Beginning Sunday, September 10, there will be a basket on the nametag table in Goodwin Hall for our parishioners to drop off or pick up a 2024 calendar. Calendars of all sizes are welcome - wall, desk or pocket size. 

Godly Play Resumes

for the Program Year

We are happy to announce our godly play class will resume Sunday, September 17! Yea!!

All 3 years-old and older are welcome to join us.

Our classroom is on the second floor of the education building. 

Our doors open at 9:45 am each 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of the month.

We experience a godly play story, feast, work time, and fellowship in this holy space, then we enter the church service and rejoin our families at about 10:40.

If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Crandall.

Women Together is a group that gathers weekly to explore our Christian faith and practice through book discussion, prayer and fellowship. We meet on Tuesdays from 2:00 to 3:15 pm in the reception room at St. John’s (679 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford, CT).

On Tuesday September 19, 2023 we will begin discussing The Night is Long but Light Come in the Morning by Catherine Meeks. It presents Meditations for Racial Healing: “a refreshing approach to understanding the ministry of racial healing. Dr. Meeks invites us to contemplate the question ‘Who shall I be?’ in order to engage ‘Who shall we become?’”

We will start by reading the Forward and Part 1 (through page 34). Don’t worry if you haven’t received your book yet, just read what you can.

The books we choose are usually available at libraries, amazon.com and other booksellers.

WT has been attended by women from St. John’s, Trinity, St. James and St. Monica’s.

Please contact Linda MacGougan or Cathy Rowe if you would like additional information.

Trinity's Book Group launches the new program year with a discussion of Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr at the October 6th meeting, 7:00-9:00 pm, at the home of Jon Reik.

The book is described as being among the most celebrated novels of recent times, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope, and a book. Book Group welcomes everyone, whether for one meeting or for many!

Come and enjoy lively discussion and tasty refreshments! For directions, and to let Jon know you're coming, please contact him at jonr720@aol.com.
